Elite athletes get hurt even when they are in great shape.

He won’t likely be back before the all-star break.

Where is the trainer or strength and conditioning coach? Some body is failing here

I’m not saying this helps, but it isn’t completely devastating.

Get well soon, Evan.

After watching the replay, in slow mo, several times, I was convinced that it was his ACL (based on his ‘wobbling’ knee before the actual slide), and from someone who has actually ruptured my own ACL.

That this is “only” a hamstring, is encouraging news, as opposed to how bad it could of been. He could be back within a month, now. Anyway, I think Evan caught a break. He’s one of the good guys in the game, so it’s well deserved.

The outlook for the Rays just got alot hazier.
