That sucks. Guessing he’s done for the year.

Even if it's a stress fracture it has a 6-8 week recovery time.
He's done.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
I'm guessing keeping him on the 10 DL gives him a chance of being an option to be added (in case of emergency obviously) before the NLCS or WS if we make either one. Being on the 60 day DL would completely eliminate such a possibility.
Luckily, we have a Hech of a back-up option.

He could go to the 60-day to open up a spot on the 40-man. He'd have to go back on the 40-man after the World Series until the end of spring training. Where I need clarification is I don't know whether he would have to spend the unexpended days after going back on the 40-man roster to fill out the remainder of the 60-day DL stint. For example, if Camargo goes on the 60-day today. The World Series ends 45 days from now (estimate) and Camargo goes back on the 40-man. Would he be ineligible to be activated until 15 days after the start of the regular season or would it be the beginning of spring training or wouldn't it matter.
PS--Not that it matters, but I can remember years and years and years ago that the Braves recalled someone from Low A on the last weekend of the regular season, put him on the DL, and then replaced him with someone not on the roster September 1 for the playoffs. They then proceeded to waive the Low A guy they had put on the DL when they set the off-season 40-man roster. I believe MLB has made changes so that doesn't happen anymore.

It was just reported Camargo is out for the rest of the season. That's a blow, could have been a weapon in the post season. Now who will step up to take his spot? Can't be Riley

I'd rather take all 3 catchers than put Hamilton on the postseason roster.
I'd say it has to be Culberson despite his recent struggle. Mostly because of his success as a pinch hitter and ability to play OF if needed. He's also our emergency catcher so that allows us to not carry all 3 or even carry one as a pinch hitter.
It's hard for me to envision a pinch hitting situation where I'd feel good about having Hech or Hamilton hitting.

Kelsey in pregame report said Camargo had a "micro fracture". He'll be out about 2 weeks. Don't write him out of PS yet.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

So assuming no Culberson, Camargo, and let's just say no Ender. What is our bench shaping up to look like?
Hmm...I guess McCann/Cervelli/Hech/Hamilton and either Riley or Duvall
