Yeah, that’s why it’s important to not have a starting CF that is so injury prone. That is the whole point.

He is just an example of a replacement level player we don’t want playing significant amounts of time. Nothing against him specifically.
What would you say.....ya do here?

I think they’re fine with running Shogo out there and putting Aquino in left if Senzel gets hurt for an extended period of time. At the very least, it looks like he has more nagging injuries than anything else. I’m not super worried yet that he’s going to be the type to miss a full season or something.
Just have a decent backup and it’ll work itself out.

And if the injury problems don’t improve, move him out of CF back to 2B or somewhere else he has to run around less.

He’s known to be fragile and post-hype. We’d never get any value in return. Just have to keep him and endure the constant injuries.

David Bell says Pedro Strop may be out an extended period of time. No decision yet for the IL. Nick Senzel is day-to-day. #Reds
uggh...although at least that would allow you to bring up Antone.
My comp for him has been Paul Molitor. Molitor had injury issues early in his career too.

I resisted the idea that Senzel was injury prone in the minors when it was like a concussion issue and a torn finger ligament but clearly at this point he can be definitely slapped with the "injury prone" label. There's been, what, 5 times or so he's gotten an injury that cost him at least a few games in the 1+ year he's been up? Plus offseason surgery.
Still, he's been performing this year as I and many others expected at the plate after some were ready to turn the page on him after a tough August/September last year. Hopefully the injuries, if they must continue, are just mostly minor issues.
