Luckily, the team’s construction has allowed us to weather these storms without fielding any truly dire lineups, though more tests are coming: Lorenzo Cain, now in a platoon with Corey Ray, left the game today with an undisclosed injury and might be out for a while. He fractured his wrist and will miss several months recovering, a tough break that will likely squeeze him off the roster in the meantime. Two days after Urías was injured, Sogard too fell foul of our poor luck. It was supposed to be nothing more than a glorified cameo, but the injury gods haven’t cooperated. Kingery only overlapped with Urías on the IL by two days, but I did what I’d considered unthinkable at the start of the season: I added Turang to the 40-man roster and he made his major league debut at third base. His injury will only cost him two weeks - he’s currently three days away from returning - but the situation was becoming dire. 354/.447/.449 with phenomenal second base defense. He’d been playing out of his mind as well, hitting. Three days later, Urías was diagnosed with knee tendinitis. Again - good thing we had all this depth. The depth was starting to look thin, but Belt and Holt can both handle first base, so there were no spots where the team desperately needed assistance despite two key players missing. Easy peasy - good thing we had all this depth.įive days later, digital Hiura broke his wrist. Urías and Allen are fixtures at second and shortstop, and the rest of the infield can fit in around them. No problem, though: Holt and Sogard made the infield work seamlessly. Kingery was the first casualty a sprained ankle cost him two weeks at the end of April. I needn’t have bothered, because the injury woes that hit our pitching staff in 2020 have migrated to the infield in 2021. Here’s a visual description of the modularity: As an added bonus, many of these infielders are positionally versatile. In fact, our infield depth looked a lot like our pitching depth going into the season. In our alternate history version of the 2020 season, he stormed through the minors: a 139 wRC+ in a repeat of High-A, a 121 wRC+ in 37 games of Double-A, and finally an 82 wRC+ and 1.1 WAR in 46 games in the majors.Īllen’s glove cemented him as our everyday shortstop, but the team was hardly short for infielders. Nick Allen is a glove-first shortstop who put up an excellent offensive season in High-A in 2019. Lauer was part of a deal that netted us a prospect I’ve had my eye on for quite a while, both in real life and this game. Unfortunately, the rest of the team hasn’t held up so well on the injury front. He’s become a two-pitch pitcher in this simulation, so a swap with Suter might suit both. Our top five starters have made all 42 starts, though virtual Adrian Houser is headed for the bullpen unless he turns things around quickly his 10.64 ERA isn’t reflective of his true talent, but his 9.25 FIP isn’t exactly a great sign. It does not store any personal data.Good news: through 42 games, injuries haven’t been a problem.
