Tarik Skubal NanoScope Procedure Update

Smaller incisions = quicker recovery.

The real advantage? Much less ramp-up time for pitchers.

Skubal appears to need even less than normal.

Jalen Brunson Update After Game 1 Scare

Good news — his ankle/knee is **not** a major concern. He’s fine.

Mitchell Robinson on the other hand can play through the fracture, but he’s not getting full minutes.

Played all season & Super Bowl.
Another reminder there are way more off season surgeries than in season procedures.

On Christian Ericksen

Last time when this happened we were confident he could return to play soccer and did not agree with thoughts on him ending career, with this now happening again dubious on a return to soccer

[Zorya Londonsk @ZoryaLondonsk]

Eriksen walked onto the ambulance

He’s conscious and that’s all that matters

Wishing him a speedy recovery

Applause and chants of Erkisen from around the ground from both home and away fans

Game interrupted by referee now

Very well could be abandoned but we will see

Last time we held out hope he could resume his career.
This time with World Cup upon, us will be much harder.

Likely to miss time but hopefully contained to 10 day IL or less

[David J. Chao - ProFootballDoc @ProFootballDoc]

Definitely not patella fracture
Bone bruise, structural fracture unlikely
Certainly hurt/painful
Doubt long term injury

[Platinum Key @PlatinumKey13]

The worst possible ending to today's game.

Brandon Lowe fouled a ball off of his knee, and left the game in a ton of pain

Not good.

[David J. Chao - ProFootballDoc @ProFootballDoc]

I get @Yankees fans panic!
Would be surprised if thoracic outlet syndrome and surgery was the outcome. More to come.

[David J. Chao - ProFootballDoc @ProFootballDoc]

Seems like at least a 10 day IL is coming. A lot of unknowns.
