Shockingly, the docs diagnosed Judge with what I suspected. Rest the guy, make sure he’s right. Might not be terrible if we can keep him from cold weather to start the year

SO Judge is down for the start of the season. We should know by the third week of March what the treatment plan will be. It is crazy how the medical staff transition lost two injuries from 2019. Judge said he initially injured the rib in September but played through it. If he has the rib removed, he will be out until June or July. If he improves with rest, we should see him around the same time as Stanton in early to mid April. Either way, the lineup looks like this
1. Lemahieu 2B
2. Andujar DH
3. Torres SS
4. Sanchez C
5. Voit 1B
6. Urshela 3B
7. Gardner CF
8. Frazier RF
9. Tauchman LF
Andujar is apparently working at being a LFer. If successful, he could shift to LF, Tauchman to RF and allow Frazier or Ford to DH
Hal sucks
Well all of these injuries might not matter (excluding Severino) if the season doesn't start until May anyway. Tough break for guys like Frazier and Ford who would have had an opportunity to prove themselves.
This season isn't going to start until July or August. This disease is not going away any time soon
Hal sucks
Cole is going to be sooooo awesome this year that he will go undefeated and not allow an earned run!
