Unsurprisingly, Danry Vasquez and Mott Hyde were moved to the Hooks 7-day DL after their terrible collision the other night. Hyde (concussion) will be back when he is deemed to be ready, but Vasquez reportedly suffered a torn ACL in the collision which means that his season is over. We at WTHB wish both of them the very best and a speedy full recovery.
Keep an eye on Franklin Perez who was ranked #21 in the Astros system by Baseball America coming into the 2016 season. Perez won't be 19 until December so he is very young for the Low A level. It will be very interesting to see what he can accomplish.
Vasquez has been hopping around on crutches without putting weight on his leg. His girlfriend (supposedly) said he would only miss 2 weeks. He hasn't had a brace on the knee either which is standard with ligaments. He said something about his knee cap which leads me to think a dislocated kneecap.
ReplyDeleteMott broke his nose also.
