• Not a whole lot of injury news, but I did make quite a few changes to the disabled list return times.

• Sadly, it looks like Joe Nathan’s career may be done with a torn UCL. He will need to have Tommy John surgery to throw again.

• I wasn’t going to make fun of Scooter Gennett because he has probably already takes a lot of crap over his lifetime for having the name Scooter. I am not holding back now. He cut his hand on a shower head. Uh, really. I am not sure how that is possible. And his hand is cut so bad he can’t play. There has got to be more to this story, but we may never find out.

• Jake Lamb is on the DL for a stress reaction in his left foot.

Lamb will be in a walking boot for two weeks and manager Chip Hale said he is hopeful Lamb could be back in the lineup within three weeks.

It looks like it is finally Yasmany Tomas at third base time. Yea.

• LaTroy Hawkins lost his closer role and now he is head to the DL with a bicep injury.

• Dioner Navarro is out with a strained hamstring.

• Sean O’Sullivan is headed to the DL. And yes I know no one cares.

I’m I right in assuming that a stress reaction is a precursor to a stress fracture?

If that’s so, isn’t Lamb’s injury being underplayed? He’s not going to be able to avoid all that loading on his foot. Right?
