No, not for Scooter himself obviously. The All-Star second baseman will miss 8-12 weeks with a groin strain – and may have a tough time coming back, as these sort of muscle issues can be slow-going on the recovery.
But for the Reds? Your favorite team? Yeah it’s not so bad.
No, they won’t take the opportunity to call up Nick Senzel, despite the all-everything prospect being a very cromulent 2b. What the Reds will do, according to C. Trent Rosecrans, is play Jose Iglesias at shortstop and Jose Peraza at second.
Iglesias isn’t going to be asked to replace Scooter’s bat in the lineup.
