Radio silence per @Chris "HEN-ri-KAY"

This was from April 2nd...

Bryan Mata is progressing with his hamstring injury. The hard-throwing right-hander is on the injured list and could return to the club in early May. Mata is out of options, meaning he will need to be placed on the Red Sox 26-man roster or he will need to be designated for assignment.

Chad Tracy is being very quiet about Brandon Walter and Bryan Mata injury updates. We keep trying to pry anything

Would that necessarily be something Tracy has information on? I assume if they're rehabbing it's probably in Ft. Myers & they may not tell him anything unless their return is imminent.

More guys on the IL:

04/20/24 Salem Red Sox placed LF Jhostynxon Garcia on the 7-day injured list. Left hamstring strain.

04/20/24 Salem Red Sox placed OF Stanley Tucker on the 7-day injured list. Right hamstring strain.

& I'm told Austin Ehrlicher is, too. I don't see a transaction, but it's not surprising since he hasn't pitched since 4/14.

A few injury updates in the Glob from Speier.
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/04/30/sports/red-sox-minor-leagues/

Mata to throw live BP and if that goes well, a rehab start:
Righthander Bryan Mata, who suffered a hamstring injury in spring training that put him on the injured list for the first month of the season, is slated to throw his first live batting practice session at the end of this week. If all goes well, he could start a rehab assignment either next week or the following one. Because Mata is out of minor league options, he’ll either have to earn a roster spot by the end of a 30-day rehab assignment or be removed from the 40-man roster.

Walter hasn't thrown but they are hoping to avoid surgery:
Lefthander Brandon Walter, who suffered a rotator cuff strain in spring training, has yet to start throwing and is working on building strength in the muscles around his shoulder. For now, the team remains hopeful he’ll be able to pitch again without surgery.

Brannon and Jhosty:
Catcher Brooks Brannon (No. 29), who is on the 60-day injured list while recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, is adding work at first base in hopes that less time behind the plate will help him stay on the field after the 2022 draftee missed most of last year with back issues. Brannon has huge raw power — his exit velocities rival anyone’s in the system — but just 92 professional plate appearances. Thus, while the Sox expect that he’ll primarily catch, Brannon will see less time behind the plate than a player whose sole defensive responsibility is as a catcher.

Outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia — off to an excellent start (.325/.426/.575) — landed on the injured list with a hamstring injury.

04/30/24 Greenville Drive activated RHP Reidis Sena from the 7-day injured list.

Reidis Sena being back for the 1st time since April 10th makes sense in conjunction with the Bolden promotion.

Here I was thinking that "dodged a bullet" meant "game ended before he got called in from the pen"

If we can chalk up his 11.57 ERA to a strained elbow, maybe things will get less disastrous when he returns?

Here's hoping. That's a way better explanation than "doesn't get people out."

This one is real rough

I was told it was a “significant knee injury” and Johanfran Garcia will undergo surgery. He’s out for the season
Click to expand...
Not surprising after watching him get carted off the field, but yeahhh..definitely not great.

Johanfran doesn't turn 20 until December & on the season in A-Ball:

.387/.467/.596, 1.063 OPS, .212 ISO, 206 wRC+.

Some might say his .514 BABIP was unsustainable, but who's to know really?

05/12/24 FCL Red Sox placed RHP Obed Balderas on the 60-day injured list.

05/12/24 Portland Sea Dogs placed 3B Blaze Jordan on the 7-day injured list.

05/12/24 Worcester Red Sox transferred RHP Brian Van Belle to the Development List.
Click to expand...
Was looking forward to following Obed this year, so that's disappointing. He did quite well as a 16 y/o last season.

Blaze being on the 7 instead of the 60 is hopefully a positive sign.

& BVB isn't really an injury, but he hasn't been great & with Winck & Uwasawa added to the rotation, it isn't surprising they are going to give him some time off.

JM3: anything on Sandlin. Scratched with forearm tightness is not very comforting news..

Haven't seen anything since then. It's probably too soon to have much of an update one way or the other, but it's obviously never a great sign.

I guess this is a positive sign?

05/19/24 Boston Red Sox sent RHP Garrett Whitlock on a rehab assignment to Worcester Red Sox.

Of course, the last Whitlock transaction I saw said the exact same thing except twice...

Sorry to ask you everything, but I couldn't find how Winckowski is doing in AAA. Was just clued in to the fact that he has bone chips but is pitching through it. With Whitlock done for the season, the Sox could really need Winck and Mata to get moving along
