Greg Johns reported that Healy arrived in clubhouse today in walking boot and on crutches. Twisted ankle in postgame workout yesterday. Out for KC series, likely. MRI upcoming.
Cruz not expected to return until Friday. Zunino not even close, may be deactivated (B-R) before Friday. Gamel not a 1B, but getting close to return. It will be interesting to see if we 10-Day Healy and, if so, who gets the call. Matt Hague has both the Tacoma starts at 1B, but no hits. Cam Perkins has two hits, is a RHB, and has a very small bit of 1B experience. Nieuwenhuis had 6 games at 1B last season at AAA, but is a lefty bat.
Or we just ride Motter as the BU 2B and bring up a utility guy like Beckham or Muno.
Sure am glad our new injury prevention regime is working so well.
