I don’t know if Rangers fans should be upset or relieved, but Prince Fielder is once again having back issues. According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, it is another herniated disc, different that the one that plagued him in 2014. Anyone who has watched the Rangers this season knows that Fielder was just not right.
It may be a good thing. This can explain why he has been so dreadfully bad in 2016, he was hurt. Fielder is batting right around the Mendoza line (.207), by far his career worst.
The other news that we all kind of saw coming last night is Shin-Soo Choo is also landing on the disabled list with his back issues. TheThe Rangers 2 highest paid players are now out. This might be a blessing in disguise for this franchise that has been struggling of late.
The Rangers have called up Delino DeShields and Hanser Alberto to take their place on the team, and they are still pursuing starting pitching pretty hard. I don’t expect to see Prince Fielder back this season, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t see Choo again either.
The Rangers try to salvage a win tonight behind Martin Perez and get back in tje win column.
