Let's hope there isn't a part 3.

Manager David Bell fielded questions today about statuses of Encarnacion-Strand and Williamson. Both have been considering options that include season ending surgeries.

CES has ligament damage with his fractured hand. Williamson has a lesion in his shoulder.

Wasn't CES just cleared to begin ramping up before he asked for a second (or third) opinion?

Looks like I nailed it.

Ligament damage is a tricky thing. It doesn't necessarily mean it's healed incorrectly. Furthermore, is this surgery they're considering intended to address the most recent injury or the previous one?

I never claimed it was a second doctor who noticed the damage. I'm saying the first doctor appears to have missed the ligament damage on, at least, the first exam and maybe even the second. If you think that doesn't count as a miss, we'll just have to agree to disagree

Ligament damage would likely only show up on an MRI. Did they even take one originally? A conventional X-ray probably wouldn't show it

Correct. Which is why I would have expected a more comprehensive workup a week later when he was still having pain (that exam found the "new" fracture). Yet, here we are 5 weeks from the original imaging and we now have ligament damage. Like I said, I'm not saying they are bad at their jobs, just seems like not their best moment

I agree and why in the world wouldn’t they do an MRI in the very beginning, on top of an xray?

How do you play with a broken wrist and not know it? Just bizarre.

Also...how are they just now learning about Williamson's "lesion"? He's been injured for months.

Hopefully they do the surgeries soon. I don't see either one making an impact this season.

Yeah, the sooner they have the surgery the sooner they can come back.

Welp, cross CES off. They need another RH power hitter and like stat.

I wrote him off about a month ago so no homework for me.

More from Goldsmith on CES

David Bell said there was ligament damage along with Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s wrist injury. He’s seeing a specialist before making a decision. “Surgery is an option,” Bell said. “We’re hopeful he can start progressing. If that’s what he and the specialist decide.”

The bigger news is about Williamson, imo. That sounds career threatening.

Anytime you see that a pitcher has a shoulder injury this should be your first thought. Hopefully he makes it through.
