I don't know man. When they say he could have gone back in, they/he don't know the extent of the injury at that point, and if he thought he could go back in, sometimes its adrenalin. Sometimes players go back in and play right after the injury and then find out a day later its more serious.
I think it was a high ankle sprain the whole time. What I question is why they went with the day-to-day status for damn near 3 weeks. That's not Lamar. That's the GM. I am kind of done with DeCosta, same as I am with the piece of shit, gaslighting Orioles GM.
