The Story: Johnny Giavotella has been out due to fourth nerve palsy.
The Monkey Says: The condition causes double vision, so you can imagine how that might making playing baseball difficult. Johnny vows to be back before the season ends, but I’m not sure how he can promise that. The condition basically has to clear up on its own or he needs eye surgery. Given that he hasn’t seen his vision improve enough for him to do much of anything, it is highly unlikely that we’ll see Giavotella again this year.
The Story: Albert Pujols will be limited to DH indefinitely due to a foot injury.
