Wander Javier, Injured?

[mudcat14]

I saw he was pulled from a DSL game several days ago and has not returned to the line-up.  I assume he's injured.  Anyone heard any confirmation or severity?

The GCL season is about to start.  Maybe he is heading up North...

I think Seth tweeted something about a minor hamstring strain... but I could be wrong.

I wondered about that.  I believe Javier just turned 17, and the Twins seem reluctant to bring Latinos to the states until they turn 18.  Is there a minimum age in the GCL?  I saw be have a couple freshly minted 18 year olds on the roster.

Could such a move eventually cost him a 4th option year, like Polanco in 2010?

The Twins have pushed Sano and some others up to the GCL the year after they sign. It's rare. I was told earlier in the year that Javier would likely stay in the DSL the whole year though.

Yup, hamstring pull. Hopefully won't be out too much longer.

Anyone know what happened to him? I keep watching the DSL Twins box scores and he hasn't played since the beginning of July.

Same hamstring, re-aggravated a couple of games into his return. He's out for the season and he'll participate in Instructs in the Dominican.

Boo, was hopeful to see him in Instructs in a couple of weeks.  Tentative schedule I got was that the Twins players report on 9/14 while the BoSox report 9/18.  Already know that Ynoa won't be apart of it was hoping to see Javier stateside.
