    But what about when the first opinion is "no surgery" and then the guy needs surgery 3 months later after a 2nd Opinion?

    2025 Astro's luck that we have here.

    Or he doesn’t trust the medical staff and I don’t blame him. But this is not good news. I doubt he pitches two innings in a game in the future.

    I'm saying that second opinion is much more rare, at least right away. Often they'll go with "no surgery" until the rehab option fails and then they get a second opinon and find out they need surgery.

    If the first opinion is surgery, the second opinion is almost automatic and immediate.

    They could be honest and just let us know. What difference does it make?

    Somebody has to be in the pen. I'm all for bringing up live-ass arms from the minors.

    Ullola? Great. Somebody else, great.

    Some vet that can talk to them youngsters in the pen and also pitch a middle inning or 2?

    Pressly doesn't sound bad.

    Hey? It's not Neris.

    Nah, just let it rest for 8 months, right?

    Correa usually rakes against Buehler and their is an off-day tomorrow. What are we doing resting him, Joe?

    "Usually" seems like an overstatement given that he has had 3 at-bats against him in the last 4 years.

    We’ve lost our division lead and we are resting one of our hottest hitters with an off day tomorrow.

    We had 9 hits and 3 walks in 4 innings against Buehler last week.

    we lost because we couldn’t plate anyone. It was a massive choke game.

    Little puzzling, but with Correa’s injury history he probably is a guy we’ll have to load manage at times and getting two days off in a row could refresh him a good bit. Not that he appears to be struggling or tired, but this is only reasoning I’ve got

    He needs his rest.

    I would start him.
