Cleveland Guardians prospect George Valera won't be rushed back after he injured his right wrist.
Wednesday has not been the best day for the Cleveland Guardians on the injury front.
First, they learned that they'll be without Sam Hentges for at least a few weeks as he's dealing with shoulder inflammation. Next, they got an update on how one of their top outfield prospects is doing after suffering a wrist injury.
In the bottom of the second inning of Tuesday's game, George Valera fouled a ball back and immediately grabbed his wrist, and then left the game. He was initially diagnosed with "right wrist discomfort" which is very vague.
Terry Francona gave an update on how Valera is doing after sustaining the injury. He said:
The surgery that Tito is referring to is an injury that took place back in 2018. Valera finally got surgery on the wrist over the off-season.
It appears there is some short-term good news and some long-term bad news though. Short-term, it appears Valera will only be day-to-day after this specific incident. However, this injury and surgery took place almost four years ago now. It is a little worrisome that it may still be affecting him.
