Binder undergoes successful surgery
Dr Xavier Mir: "Today we operated on Brad Binder, who had suffered a loosening of the plate on his left forearm. The operation consisted of three phases: The first, removing the old plate, which had lost the pronator axis. Secondly, we placed a new plate with the correct axis of the radius, so that it could do twisting movements; Finally, a graft removed from his arm to wrap around the old fracture and ensure that the bone heals as soon as possible. He will remain in hospital for between 24 and 48 hours and we believe that he will be able to begin recovery exercises in three weeks." Source link

Josh Donaldson’s Mad Dash Sweeps Away Rangers, Sends Blue Jays To ALCS

How Has Mookie Betts Transformed Into An MVP Candidate? Chili Davis Explains
Share this: When Mookie Betts left the batting cage Friday afternoon, he was sure it wasn’t going to be a good night at the plate, according to Boston Red Sox hitting coach Chili Davis. Hours later following a 5-for-5 performance, we all had a friendly reminder of why Betts has catapulted himself into the forefront of the conversation to win the American League MVP award. As Davis explains to NESN’s Guerin Austin, as seen in the video from “Red Sox First Pitch” above, baseball is a game with highs and lows, but Betts is so successful because he never lets those lows drop too far or out of control.
