And Astros directly responsible for letting the White Sox, Nats, and Rangers in that exclusive group…
And somehow still 3 games up in the division. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a team this snakebit with injuries on both sides. The Arrighetti, Meyers, and Melton injuries are on the stranger side of anything you’ll see. Heck, the injured guys are getting reinjured before they make it back to the field.
Looking at the MLB official site for injury updates... if we can get Javier, France, Garcia, and Arrighetti all back by final week of July... what happens then? (Do we consider bringing back one of them before they are stretched out for bullpen duty? If so, which?) I am far less optimistic on Paredes, Meyers, Peña, Rodgers, and Dezenzo.
