Adalberto Mondesi’s 2021 season and sadly, most of his career, can be summed up by one word - injured. The enigmatic shortstop suffered a right oblique injury on the eve of Opening Day, then returned in May only to hurt his hamstring and land on the Injured List a week later. He returned in June, but it only took three games for him to injure his left oblique, keeping him out of action until September. He would appear in just 35 games, hitting .230/.271/.452 with six home runs and 15 steals.
Even when he stays healthy, as he did during the entire pandemic-shortened 2020 season, he can be a very enigmatic player.
