Shamet to be reevaluated in 4 weeks

I remember this game. And I didn’t like it.

Because we cannot afford to sign another player until Shamet is healthy and are required to have at least 14 players on the roster, we’d need Shamet to fully recover within the 2 week grace period for dipping below the 14 player minimum.

We could sneak a 10-day contract in there and extend it another 24 days (10-day contract length + 2nd two week roster minimum grace period).

So at most Shamet would need to recover within 38 days after being cut (14+10+14) if we push this to the most extreme limit, or we’d need to complete a trade.

If he is back within that time frame, it’s probably not worth cutting him anyway.

“Sprain” is sort of a generic term for a joint that has had its soft tissue disrupted by moving beyond its range. I’m thinking it was at least a partial dislocation with some ligament damage, and that they are saying “sprain” to be slick, i.e. to avoid questions about potential surgery.

Just a guess, of course.
