Jose Bautista is back in the lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays because there was no structural damage in his wrist. He said:
It’s all about pain tolerance since there’s no structural damage. As long as you can tolerate the pain, I’m not going to make it any worse unless I do too much, too soon. I’ll let pain dictate what I can do, and hopefully two weeks is enough. I’m thinking it will be.
This got me thinking … I am unsure what structural damage is in an injury.
What is structural damage in a sports injury
The first thing I learned is that structural damage refers to the joints of the body. Most likely:
- Knees
- Elbows
- Ankles
