Lots of us play one on the internet. A severe bone bruise is basically a microfracture of the outter cortex of the bone.
Did they ever say "severe" though? Regardless, he had a broken leg. Saying "bruise" was a complete suger coat. "Discomfort" is another repeated deflection by the Astros to avoid saying what it really is.
sometimes it’s better to have a clean break than these lingering ailments. Astros getting a lot of heat about Tucker from fans, but at the end of the day it’s the players that give the ok to play final word; because if he says it is still bothering him, the organization has to respect that. On the bright side of things, Tucker will be very well rested for the playoffs. Hopefully he can get right back into his swing that was MVP level before he went down for 3 month with an ouchie, I meant to say bruise, ….

A bone bruise is a bone injury. It’s similar to a bruise you might get on the surface of your skin. But it’s more serious than a mark left over from roughhousing with your kids or playing pickup basketball. Healthcare providers sometimes refer to bone bruises as bone contusions. Contusion is the medical name for a bruise. Bone contusions are blood trapped under the surface of your bone after an injury.

He would have probably been back already if it was broken. Severe bone bruises can take longer to heal.
Don't want to jinx it....but is Dana Brown's statement of Tucker coming back early September going to be actually true? Shocking he placed a time frame and it might be the truth.
Yao Ming might disagree. A poster was told by a doctor that a severe bone bruise could equal a fracture. Yao's career pretty much ended from a fracture -- it never healed.
We have ran out worse lineups. Jake Meyers hit clean up a few weeks back and pretty sure Chas was in the lineup.
It's amazing how all these HBP that break bones hardly ever accompany a bruise. '24 Astros luck at its finest. The manager isn't sabotaging the season like last year, so at least there's that.
Because: 1) The OF has been very weak offensively 2) 3 infield positions are set everyday 3) Singleton is better than him vs RHP which is 70% of games. 4) He has been among the 9 best position players on this team most of the season. 5) He is much improved this year in the OF and is now better than average.
If I woke up out of a coma and you told me Meyers hit cleanup multiple times and we didn’t get anything from Javier, Urquidy, LMJ, Garcia and JV so far this season because of injuries, I would assume we would be closer to last than first in the division.
He’s been the best defensive OF we have other than Meyers. 92nd percentile in OAA and his arm actually makes runners think before taking the extra 90 even though he isn’t that accurate with it.
