I’m guessing that Dusty Baker may want to bump Johnny Cueto’s next start against the Cardinals to, oh, 2024 or so:
LaRue, of course, suffered the concussion when he was kicked in the head by Cueto during that fracas in Cincinnati last week.
Catcher Jason LaRue, who suffered a concussion last Tuesday when he was kicked in the head by Cincinnati pitcher Johnny Cueto reportedly still is having issues and his return is not imminent.
Asked if LaRue might be out for the season, general manager John Mozeliak said today, “I’m concerned. I don’t think we’ve crossed the bridge yet to determine if he’s going to miss the remaining part of the season.
“But given the fact that we’re now 10 days out (actually eight) from that injury, it’s concerning. Right now I think we’re just going to let him have some rest and get away from this a little and he’ll be reevaluated early next week.”
