I'm only 5 games into the season so still a very long way to go but he is hitting .353 with a OBP of .450 and is a human vacuum out at short.
What's your thoughts on rolling the dice and letting him play verse putting him on the IL for two weeks and playing it safe? I have Crawford who can slot right in so no huge let down on defense and I wouldn't mind getting either Victor Scott II who started the year at Memphis but is already hitting .450 down there or even Alfonso Rivas who can help in the outfield as well until Carson and Nootbaar come back off the IL.
Obviously not ideal just wondering if others have faced the same dilemma so far with 25.

My experience is that these guys either get hit with another injury or else that injury degrades to nagging status a *lot*. Then again, these day to day hurts happen to guys who are Prone or Wrecked quite a bit more often than guys who aren’t and so I tend to take these on a case by case basis.
DHing a player eliminates their chances of getting a running or throwing injury in the field but of course it does nothing for hitting and baserunning injuries, so while it can help it’s anything but a panacea.
