It’s not uncommon for calf injuries to lead to Achilles injuries when they aren’t fully healed, or so I’ve read. T. Halliburton is a pretty recent example where this has happened, though there’s no conclusive proof of causation.

Sounds like Matthews is getting a call-up this week.

Shay is more talented than at least 3 guys getting PT in front of him.
And you are correct. 100%

There had to be some talent moved up……the get a long gang wasn’t getting it done.
Matthews has been playing mostly 2b this year but he was drafted as a SS……I have heard people regurgitate stuff they have “heard” about him having a weak arm……I have seen him play live at CC and SL and his arm is not “weak “. It may not be plus but it’s plenty strong enough to play SS……I think him playing mostly 2b this year is because he has no path with JP at SS.
Now, the best thing for the lineup with JP out is to play Brice at SS, move Jose to 2b, Dubon out to CF and send Trammell to the Independent league.
But does Dana have the balls to do this? Not sure……but any lineup with Trammell or Hummel is no bueno.

And Brice is getting the start at 2B.
Nothing on the pregame show to confirm Meyers achilles injury. The Astros Storyline indicated he was placed on 10 day IL due to calf injury.
If this is the case, it causes me to doubt the credibility of radio pundits. That said, I’ll take a calf injury over an achilles injury any day, unless he tore a calf muscle.
Sorry for posting misinformation.

Come on Lance, don’t blow out the bullpen in the first game of the series.

Over/under when McCullers gets released? Injuries have done him in. His formerly great curveball just spins.

We’ll see. If the Astros have proven anything it’s that they’ll downplay an injury at every possible opportunity.
They also might not have a conclusive diagnosis yet. Jake was clearly bothered, but that could just be because he felt a lot more pain than the initial injury.
Regardless, I don’t think we’ll see him for a while.
Yeah, you can’t keep rolling the guy out there and every other start is 6-7 runs in 3IP. They need to make a decision soon,
Really hate it for the guy and hope he can get it back but it doesn’t seem like he will. I would suggest bullpen but you kind of have to throw strikes to make it work.

This is the third or fourth time he’s done this.
One good start out of every 4 or 5 is not gonna cut it….the sooner Garcia and Javier are back the better……and Arighetti? When’s the last time Dana has given an update? It was supposed to be 6 weeks and it’s been what? 14+?

He said on the broadcast that Javier has been up to 95 and Garcia up to 94. He didn’t give the same specifics on Spencer, but it sounded like he’s been throwing and may be a little behind those other two.
