Rosario out with emergency eye surgery.

That outfield construction looking really good right now.
We could always call J Up to the rescue 🤣
 
What type of eye procedure takes 3-4 months of recovery? I’m no eye doctor, but that seems very serious and potentially career ending.

Hah… I hope so. Imagine thinking a dude’s ready who has had all of 66 plate appearances and one homer at AA. Not to mention a .400+ BABIP and who’s had a batted ball profile of hitting more ground balls than fly balls… but sure… lol

Swelling PLUS the blurred vision certainly makes it appear to be pretty serious. If the swelling is placing excess pressure around the nerve endings and that's what's actually causing the blurring, it would seem like something that's terribly complex and is going to take quite a bit of time and extended care - particularly if the swelling is so random that it wasn't caused by some sort of blow to the area.

I had a sinus issue years ago when I was in college that caused some swelling, blurred vision, lost sleep, and migraines, and the eye doctor treating me stated he had concerns it could easily lead to permanent loss of sight in my right eye. He was a golfing buddy and good friend who had a rosier opinion of how far my golf "career" might advance so he was probably a bit more alarmed than others might have been, but he still says to this day that it was a much more serious situation than I ever made it out to be. I avoided surgery, but spent three months without being able to step outside without sunglasses (even on cloudy days), had to wear them inside when in class, and had to only light our dorm room with 40 watt lamps because they were concerned that any extended period where I was exposed to brighter light would make the situation much worse. Unlike regular physical activities, you can't "throttle back" the effort your eyes put forth, and any periods spent squinting caused the swelling to return and/or worsen.

Hate to say it, but it would be a reasonable move considering you are getting him at the minimum and that amount is prorated. But he would take several weeks down in Gwinnett to be ready.

Why? He's already had a full spring training and I would presume has stayed active in case he gets a call.
 
Btw, he's struck out 7 of the 8 batters he's faced in AAA this year. Throws 96-99 with his fastball and occasionally hits 100.

If it was a few days, I could see a quick cup of coffee for Harris, but not for a few months. Honestly, I have liked Demeritte out there better than some other options lately.
 
My wife who is an eye surgeon speculates "central serious retinopathy" or, if he is a diabetic... "diabetic macular edema"

and I don't know what either of those things mean

Me either - but neither sounds particularly good.
 
I can't believe this guy got a two year deal when Joc did not.

I will love him forever for last year's performance. And even with no eyes he can hit vs the Dodgers, that is great. Still can't believe he got a two year deal.
