Pink Sox

The Pink Sox gave unhealthy information on one in all their offseason commerce acquisitions.

One Pink Sox participant’s season may come to an finish earlier than it ever began.

Pink Sox supervisor Alex Cora advised reporters on Tuesday that Adalberto Mondesí has been shut down from all baseball actions. This announcement got here not too lengthy after stories surfaced that Mondesí was making progress in his rehab, however the Pink Sox selected to take this essential precaution resulting from “lingering soreness.”

“It has been on and off,” Cora mentioned, per MassLive’s Chris Cotillo. “He began, once more, his baseball actions. He didn’t really feel so effectively so we needed to shut it down,” Cora mentioned.

Mondesí has struggled to get better from a torn ACL he suffered in April 2022, lengthy earlier than the Pink Sox traded for him. They acquired him with the hope that he could be able to play by Opening Day 2023, however they ended up inserting him on the 60-day damage checklist to begin the season.

He has spent his 2023 in Fort Myers rehabbing his knee, however setbacks have pressured the Pink Sox to close him down in June.

These setbacks have been irritating for each Mondesí and the Pink Sox.

“We’ve carried out every little thing attainable to get him proper,” Cora mentioned. “He has carried out every little thing attainable to get it proper. It’s only a matter of leaping that final hurdle and we haven’t been ready to try this.”

The Pink Sox haven’t but dominated out the potential for Mondesí’s return this season, given how a lot they’ve put into making ready for that day to come back. However time shouldn’t be on their aspect, and Cora is aware of that.

“We’re operating out of time,” Cora mentioned. “Nevertheless it’s not lack of effort. From his finish and our finish, I’ll inform you, we’ve carried out every little thing. We’ll see what occurs.”

Mondesí has all the time had expertise and sky-high potential. The shortstop’s dazzling velocity made him the Kansas Metropolis Royals’ high prospect from 2015-16. However his main weak spot was his sturdiness, as numerous accidents have allowed him solely 358 video games since he made his main league debut in 2015.

It’s not but clear if Mondesí will be part of the ever-growing checklist of Pink Sox gamers’ names which were scratched off the damage checklist. However after the Pink Sox have shut him down with little time left to play, these odds seem much less and fewer seemingly.
