This is going to hurt the already slim chances. Damn.

What a bummer. Guy took a big leap this year. Not sure if it'll be wholly repeatable, but they really could have used him for the stretch run.

He'll end the season with a BABIP of .381 and a wrc+ of 120.

 

[Kliq]

Fuck--he was the most entertaining Red Sox player this year and a great surprise. Future is still bright for him, though.

 

[The Talented Allen Ripley]

Duvall's been raking lately, so this isn't as much of a blow as it could have been.

 

[Fishercat]

I hope that doesn't get him down, he's been a joy to watch this year and had such a massive comeback from a 2022 that could've wrecked him, Hope he's back and healthy for 2024.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Really sucks. He’s been a great story, and hope he stays on track for a good 2024. The injury bug has been really unkind this year.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Fuckkkkk. That’s awful news. For sure him and Casas are my favorite of the new crop.

 

[AlNipper49]

Well at least it’ll give Cedanne a few more reps.

On a good attempt to rob a Judge HR of all things, nothing to do with the baserunning.

EDIT: It's turf toe, usually a NFL injury:

This may actually be a blessing in disguise. Yeah, it sucks for 2023, but we weren't winning the championship anyway. He was kind of starting to fade a bit anyway -- his OPS for the games after the All Star break was actually a bit below .700. But overall, it's a really positive year, and so he goes into the off season having a pretty decent, albeit shortened, campaign -- given the mood going into the las offseason, that's maybe not a bad thing.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I have to say, this year has sneakily turned into another crappy one on injury luck, hasn't it?

 

[Humphrey]

This type of surgery is not that common. 2 to 6 months recovery. At least doing it now should have him recovered by Spring Training.

[mikeford]

Damn, surprised he isn't doing his own research on this toe surgery.

 

[canderson]

He was one of two reasons to watch this team. Bello, be safe.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

As disappointing as this is, and as disappointing as it was to have Duvall injured when he was on fire to start the season, those two players have really timed their hot streaks and injuries quite well with one another. Duran saved the season from one of mid-summer irrelevance. And while Duvall wasn't himself when he first returned, he got locked in again right when Duran went down.

It still stinks, but it's a silver lining.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

I doubted he was trade bait prior to this…. He definitely isn’t now.

 

[Van Everyman]

He was one of two reasons to watch this team. Bello, be safe.

Ser Triston is gonna hit one 435 tonight just because you forgot him.

Ahhhh damn true. I was late to his party and continue to miss the invite. I’ll do better.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

Maybe pick up Renfroe for free?

 

[simplicio]

Maybe pick up Renfroe for free?

Does he do something Abreu/Rafaela can't that makes him worth kicking someone off the 40 man?

 

[bsj]

Harrison Bader, come on down.
