The veteran slugger injured his finger in a defensive play last night. The Rockies reportedly don't think it's serious so the X-rays sound like they're just a precaution. Hopefully he's ok, fingers crossed.. Pun intended lol I'll go with your one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FoulPole 44 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Just brutal. Don't know who to pick up to replace him there's not much out there. Shoulda known better than to draft a former Met, the injury curse stays with you forever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swfcdan 684 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Quote Manager Bud Black said Murphy has an “avulsion fracture, mallet finger, there’s a lot of terms I’m hearing.” So it's like he hit his finger with a mallet. Just from sliding back into a bag?? Jesus... Not good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treat88 615 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 An avulsion fracture is when a small the area of bone that a tendon attaches to breaks free and remains attached to the tendon. Results in an inability to contract the joint in the direction the tendon is no longer attached. In Murphys case, he can't straighten his finger, likely the pointer finger at the distal knuckle but I don't know that detail. The tendon needs to be surgically reattached and allowed to heal to the point it can withstand baseball forces before he returns. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thye didn’t IL him yesterday because they couldn’t get someone to Miami in time. I’ve seen reports they’re bringing vailaika up to take his spot. They’ll likely officially IL him around the time they put out their lineup, no later than tonight’s game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well said, though my one area of quibble would be that I don’t necessarily think surgery is a given. From a recent study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15925171/) there didn’t appear to be a large difference in outcomes between surgical vs non surgical management. As a Murphy owner I’m hoping for the latter choice so he can return to action sooner, though it’ll still be immobilized for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Without knowing the status of the tendon or amount of retraction its not certain what the course will be. Non surgical is certainly what I'd be hoping for as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
