This wasn't really a head first slide like what injured Trout.
Torres collided with the catcher trying to dive for home plate and suffered a hyperextended elbow. Kind of like a quarterback diving into the endzone and getting clobbered.

I seen it, it wasnt feet first.

I know, he dove for home plate. Didn't say it was feet first. It wasn't really a slide.

(And where did my post go?)

I dont know lol wasnt me, can we agree it was a dumb way to get to home plate?

Yes, I agree that it wasn't a smart move. And you've got to admire him going all out to try to score.
And it's not his throwing arm, so that's good. And he's only 20, so no rush.

Bummer here in yankeeville, was really looking forward to seeing him. He was so close.

I'm reading he's expected to be activated in time for ST, so that's something at least.

Gah, I was going to list a bunch of stuff last night including a nice Gleyber I picked up over the winter, but was so tired I decided to hold off till tomorrow. Oh well, mid-term becomes long-term hold. Hope he comes back good.

yes, that surprised me it's not going to be a year+ on the DL. Maybe position players recover quicker because they don't throw as often or hard like pitchers do (only throwing as hard as a pitcher occasionally rather than regularly with every pitch).
