July 28, 20215 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/07/marlins-select-corey-bird-preston-guilmet.html Cooper has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his left elbow and will undergo season-ending surgery, reports Craig Mish of the Miami Herald (Twitter link). The procedure comes with a three-to-four month recovery timeline, so he should be at full strength for Spring Training in 2022.
July 28, 20215 yr Fuck, this is exactly why I wanted to get rid of him before he blew up. Seems Mattingly was right, he’s not someone that can handle a full season.

July 28, 20215 yr Just now, Iowa said: Gotta play dude from Houston everyday right? Oh for sure, even when Sanchez comes back. Sanchez in Left, De La Cruz in Center and whoever they decide to replace Duvall in right when he’s traded (I’d assume Brinson gets it to give him one last chance to show what he’s got)
July 28, 20215 yr Explains why we stopped hearing about him in trade rumors at all. They probably were seeing what they could get and then he had this happen. He should pair nicely with Buxton on the IL

We need to give Sierra and Brinson a chance.

July 29, 20215 yr Jokes about his fragility aside, I feel bad for Cooper because this has to be more frustrating for him than for anyone else.
July 29, 20215 yr I’m actually excited for De la Cruz. All the Astro guys that project as hit first guys hit really well. Now where’s that CF that Mish promised?

July 29, 20215 yr yeah it sucks for the guy, most of the injuries seem like they've been random kinda stuff too.

It sucks to label a guy injury prone and there's the possibility that he never has a single significant injury ever again, especially considering how many of his injuries have seemed random.... but Cooper can no longer be relied upon and that stinks.
