Mark Trumbo May Be In Danger Of Missing Opening Day
6 years agoBaltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo, who tested his surgically repaired right knee during running drills on Friday, may not be ready to play in spring games by his original target date of March 12. "I’m not trying to cram in his rehab to try to make it on that day," manager Brandon Hyde said. "I want to do what’s best for him. And if that means middle of April or May, whatever it is, I want him to be 100 percent and go forward and not be 80 percent and have it nagging throughout the season." Trumbo last played in a game on Aug. 19 of 2018 and is entering the final year of a three-year, $37.5 million deal. He hit .261 with 17 home runs last year. With him potentially missing the first month or so of the season, Trumbo should only be drafted in AL-only leagues for his power.
