Here’s a Solid Guess at Play That Caused Kris Bryant’s Shoulder Injury

“About a month ago on a headfirst slide, [the shoulder] kinda flared up a little bit, but I didn’t really think anything of it,” Kris Bryant said Tuesday in LA as The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney looked on. “And maybe I might’ve just tried to play through it and come back too quick.

“It got better, it wasn’t like anything debilitating, but swinging more and stuff like that is more likely to flare up. It hurt when I first complained about it, like pretty bad, but now it’s just kinda sore.”

I can’t say for certain exactly which play he’s talking about and I’ve got neither the time nor ability to search through everything from the last 3-5 weeks.
