so it's a possibility, but not a certainty.
you'd have to tread extremely cautiously with him and not push him beyond his limits physically, but i'd be very hesitant to run him out there. i imagine the angels will be cautious, also.

there are more articles but not a single one of them mentions anything about being able to hit while he's recovering from surgery (the espn article mentions hitting while undergoing treatment only).
got any other evidence, mate?
i'll bet this guy has been a major PITA and the florida folks had just simply had enough.
nevertheless, good to see justice prevailed and that they city can't just do what they want.
don't know that there's any scientific evidence for it, but we notice at school that sickness increases after we 'fall back'. also anecdotal, driving on the freeways is more aggressive.
How interesting (and possibly very practical) that the wheel wells are part of the hood. Today's cars don't seem to have easy access included in their composition.
Finally saw the video today of his putt. Saw that some were calling for him to be DQ'd while others were saying this will tarnish legacy. Disagree on both counts.
he had a good run a couple of years ago when quick was injured but he's clearly not a long term solution.
i'm guessing he's insurance in case quick goes down again. campbell only has a pocketful of games in the bag, so this isn't a terrible move.
if budaj is playing more than 15 games a season for the parent club, there's a huge problem.
i know this might sound cold, but i don't think you should complain about the consequences when you break the laws of a foreign country you entered illegally.
that being said, they need to make sure the penalty fits the crime or revise the process where needed as they go along. i don't think the current process is ideal.
patrick reed playing amazing this morning. got it to +3 and tied for the lead after three straight birdies.
until koepka birdied two holes to take a two-shot lead.
