The short answer is that I have not heard. However - over the last few years, it has become more common for players to take longer time off. If I has to guess, he will be back after the All Star break.
Remember David Williams and the controversy when he missed a game so that he could be present for the birth of his child? We've come a long way since 1993. Congrats to Christian and his family.
Anybody besides me requested the Barry Bonds treatment of Ramirez and intentionally walk him in the 4th inning to load the bases? I knew what was coming. And boy did it come.
I play fantasy baseball and when Wheeler had his leave he was slated to pitch for me that weekend and he didn't. Gonna suck if we don't have Walker for the Rangers series.
Gotta get a run off Gaddis/Clase combo coming up. Very possible. But we can't give up this extra run here.
Well this is the inning to score 2 runs. The 9th with Clase and the bottom of our lineup is gonna be brutal. Potential immaculate inning lol.
