Thats not great. He'll miss most of this season, could even need surgery to fully repair.
It is a sprain not a tear. Time heals so no surgery plus he will have PT daily and should have been in great condition. I could be wrong on my next statement but sprains are graded 1-3. I don’t remember which is the most acute but I’ll guess #3
WASHINGTON -- Lane Thomas and the Nationals were relieved when they received the results of the outfielder’s left knee MRI on Wednesday. Following a period of uncertainty, the diagnosis of a Grade 2 MCL sprain was an encouraging outcome."Best-case scenario, really,” said manager Dave Martinez.Echoed Thomas, “I definitely think it could have been a lot worse.”...“The initial pain was pretty intense, but it kind of went away quick,” Thomas said. “I feel like I’ve had a pretty high pain tolerance in the past. … Sometimes [with] those things, your adrenaline, you don’t really know what’s going on until a few hours after when you settle down.”
This says 2-4 weeks. But what do they know at Harvard. https://www.health.harvard.edu/a_to_z/knee-sprain-a-to-z#:~:text=In%20general%2C%20milder%20Grade%20I,take%204%20to%2012%20months.
With a grade 2 MCL tear, the ligament is moderately damaged with a partial tear, and you might notice your knee is loose. This type of injury is usually quite painful and accompanied by tenderness and swelling of your knee. In some cases, you might need surgery to recover from a grade 2 tear.
A grade 2 (moderate) MCL tear generally takes four to six weeks to heal with treatment.
Nussbaum reports that Vic is likely heading for a rehab assignment toward the end of next week.
Gallo to the 10-day IL is the corresponding move for Call. Left shoulder AC sprain. Which of course means we get to see more Edwin Rosario!
how long has he tried to play through it?
Blanco reports that Vic has cleared out his locker in Miami and is likely heading on a rehab assignment.
Where he'll no doubt injure something else...
Vic to Rochester per Davey.
