Todd Helton (1B, COL)
Injury: Inflammation, left forearm
DL date: April 20
Estimated DL time: Approximately three weeks. When you are 39 years old and play baseball in what looks like Alaska this month, it's hard to overcome ailments quickly. This muscle injury should not be a long-term issue.
Estimated 2013 effect upon return: None expected.
Jason Heyward (OF, ATL)
Injury: Appendicitis/appendectomy
DL date: April 21
Estimated DL time: Pro athletes are coming back from this medical procedure quicker than ever. It is not out of the question he can return in 21-28 days.
Estimated 2013 effect upon return: Other than some minor stamina issues early on, it won’t impact his production.
Justin Maxwell (OF, HOU)
Injury: Fractured...
Almost!
