His long term outlook is going to be DH - at least I think so. I did look and did not find any knee updates either. I wish his knees were not garbage as I own him everywhere ( 2 of 2 long term keeper and dynasty leagues) but I think it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites

BeanMelvin 1 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just a gut feeling that we won't be seeing Yordan on the field this year. Bummer. Link to post Share on other sites

Big League Choo 149 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ahh he will be fine. Unless he has some bizarre reaction to COVID and has it for months. Seems like the majority of these guys test negative in a few weeks Link to post Share on other sites
Ultraa 53 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 He's been cleared to play ball. I'd guess he's with the club by the end of next week. Link to post Share on other sites
adifazio27 543 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Obviously anything we say right now is pure speculation, but ASSUMING* that it is virus related, it could actually be viewed as a good thing. If he had it and has already quarantined and beat it, that means we likely won't have to worry about any future shutdown the rest of the season. In a year where players are going to be dropping like flies with no notice, it will be huge to have a guy like Yordan to anchor down the lineup as the season goes on. There's definitely still some concern about him not being here, but I think it's outlandish to jump straight to "we won't see him on the field this season". If missing a week or two right now keeps him on the field the rest of the season, I'm okay with that trade. If we're getting to mid to late August and still no Yordan, then it's time to panic... but realistically, what can you do about it then? Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Maranville 1,366 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'd be more concerned for pitchers and position players after seeing reports of the two Red Sox COVID lefties being gassed after bullpen sessions. TBH, I was so wrapped up in BASEBALL BASEBALL BASEBALL that I kinda forgot these guys were humans who were battling serious infections. Quote Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said Wednesday that Darwinzon Hernandez (COVID-19) is "a ways away." The same goes for Josh Taylor. Both pitchers are currently on the injured list following COVID-19 diagnoses, and Roenicke told reporters that they were "gassed" after throwing recent 20-pitch bullpen sessions. Theoretically, the handful of DH-onlys would be less affected by COVID than any other player type. Of course, this is absent any other information about pre-existing stuff.

The Big Bat Theory 7,567 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 30 minutes ago, BMcP said: Looking like it will be exactly then, according to Dusty Yep. Details: Quote Astros manager Dusty Baker indicated Friday that it will be a while before Yordan Alvarez (undisclosed) and Jose Urquidy (undisclosed) return. Neither player was allowed to do any baseball activities since the beginning of summer camp on July 3. "They missed a lot of time," Baker said. "It's going to take probably almost equal time that they've missed to get back." If Baker sticks to that timetable, it sounds like it could be as long as three weeks before Alvarez and Urquidy are activated. They were cleared to resume baseball activities Friday.
