The Cleveland Guardians may be without their slugging outfielder for longer than most anticipated when he was quietly placed on the 10-day injured list last week. Cleveland put Franmil Reyes on the IL without an initial designation on Thursday after he missed Wednesday’s game against the Houston Astros in what appeared to be a routine day off.
The big Dominican had an MRI on his right hamstring on Friday, which revealed a minor strain, but now after Cleveland manager, Terry Francona spoke to reporters, it seems unlikely he’ll be activated when first eligible.
The Guardians bench boss revealed, “It’s been bothering him for a while,” and that the hamstring “shuts down on him a little bit and you kind of see him jumping up and down or doing whatever and get it activated.
