Pudge

He's not in the lineup tonight...

From Rotoworld:
Ivan Rodriguez was scratched tonight because of a strained hip flexor.
Not the first time he's had this problem. Vance Wilson is getting his fifth start in six games. Aug. 15 - 7:05 pm et

Anyone knows if he's gonna miss some time?

He's probably just day-to-day but it could affect his swing. He may get more days off in the future if it's bothering him.

just my stupid luck that B. Molina is sitting out tonight as well so i have no catchers available...what a waste!

Could affect his swing?

What the hell is a sore left hip flexor, anyway?

[bunter]

Will he play tonight?

Anyone has news?

"Most often, this injury causes sudden sharp pain in the groin area. Bending or flexing the hip (think of raising your knee to your chest) against resistance increases the pain. "

So, imagine squatting behind the plate for 9 innings...

They're still not sure if he'll go on the DL or not, but if they do, I wish it'd be sooner rather than later. I can't afford to be short a player, especially not at catcher.

Any word on when Yadier Molina will be back? I've got him on my DL, and hopefully he can come back to replace Pudge if he goes down.

Thanks for the link. terrible injury for a catcher.

Nonoperative: Almost all hip flexor injuries can be treated with rest and a progressive rehabiliation program. This consists of 3-4 days of icing and gentle stretching followed by strengthening. Typically, return to sports occurs in 4-6 weeks depending upon the severity of the injury.

4 to 6 weeks

I don't agree... if you have a spot in your roster where it's less painfull to have a injury is at catcher.
