Is it me, or does it seem like Correa is fragile? I love having him healthy and playing, but in the two years I've been a baseball fan, he's spent a lot of time on the DL/IL.
(Please, no smart-a$$ answers. I truly want to learn.)
@AllThatJazzZ I'm not sure, to be honest.
Rookie year is in 2015.
He seemed healthy in 2015 and 2016.
In 2017 had a ligament issue in his thumb, which what happened probably would have injured anyone.
First he slid into a catcher's shin guard, then hurt it further 2 weeks later on a swing.
The ligament required surgery.
He came back labor day weekend, and for 2017, the rest is history.
Last year 2018, he missed 8 weeks with back issues and never seemed the same until this year.
Of course, the broken ribs issue this year, which seems to be a fluke.
Now the back again.
I'd say he has one major concern (the back) and 2 flukes (the ligament and the broken rib).
Would I say he is fragile?
No, 2 of the 3 injuries were just weird, odd things.
Would I say his back is a concern?
Yes, 2nd time now.
Maybe this never happens again.
Maybe this never goes away.
I don't know.
Time will tell.
