Why Fontana? They should have also DFA'd Young and replaced him with Blash while he was at it.

Because they’re not calling up Fletcher to ride the pine

[Turd Ferguson]

And Fontana is on the 40-man, Fletcher isn't.

I know we have to have some coverage at SS but Fontana doesn’t give you much....

Thank God that Bedrosian, Johnson and Young are healthy as ever and ready to take the field.

[Chris]

Hopefully none of them visit the Mall of America while they're in Minneapolis.

[Reveille1984]

Pre-emptive ankle braces for everyone!

[hangin n wangin]

Not only can this team not hit....they can't even walk down Facking stairs.

[wopphil]

A guy like Cowart can't allow things like this to happen him.

LMAO thats totally a "baseball player" injury, something that doesn't injure anyone else but baseball players.

You never hear about Hockey players getting injured stepping out of a bus.

[Redondo]

We are not allowed to have good things apparently. So many injuries over the last years, ugh

Hockey players learn to keep their balance on steel blades that raise their height several inches.

[rottiesworld]

Well the only thing Cowart can say is (George Lopez line) I can’t do nothing 

[eligrba4ever]

Three weeks between starts? Not that much more time than Shohei is already used to.

Seriously, we were already aware of his strain. Hope the inflammation subsides.

That’s because they skate out of them.

...and someone like Simmons can?  Seems like Simmons is more important to team success than Cowart.

No, I mean if you are clinging to your career in MLB, you can't get injured walking. It's like if you lose your drivers license and don't own a bike, you can't be late for the 7:00 a.m. bus.
