Eno and DVR discuss another round of injuries including a UCL sprain for Spencer Strider, Tommy John surgery on tap for Shane Bieber, a significant hip flexor strain for Luis Robert Jr, and a dislocated shoulder for Trevor Story. Beyond injuries, they discuss Ronel Blanco's encore and the ongoing battle in the Astros' rotation for a spot once Justin Verlander returns, and several players whose value shifted over the past week. Rundown1:31 Spencer Strider Has a UCL Sprain; Course of Action TBD6:20 Shane Bieber Will Have Tommy John Surgery14:09 How to Adjust to Losing an Ace Early17:04 Luis Robert Jr.: Grade 2 Hip Flexor Strain25:30 Gerrit Cole: Ready to Begin Throwing Program!32:11 Adjusting Draft Strategy or League Setting in the Future to Counter Multi-Year Trend of Elevated Pitching Injuries?44:25 Trevor Story's Suffers a Dislocated Shoulder48:01 Alex Kirilloff & Oliver Dunn53:22 Eno's Bargain Adds From Week 259:22 A Case for Spencer Turnbull Beyond Streaming1:04:10 Good Pickup, Bad Pickup?Follow Eno on Twitter: @enosarrisFollow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRipere-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeJoin us on Fridays at 1p ET/10a PT for our livestream episodes! https://www.youtube.com/c/ratesbarrelsSubscribe to The Athletic for just $2/month for the first year: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrels Hosted on Acast.
