If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

New Brewers SS Luis Urias underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a fractured left hamate bone and is expected to be sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks. He suffered the injury while playing winter ball. I wouldn't expect much power from him this season. Hamate surgery for power hitters seems to have an extended recovery time that often goes far beyond the actual return.

Not much, IMO. Certainly, rehab for that injury has changed, presumably improving recovery time. But I'd still consider Olson the exception rather than the rule.
Quick note on Urias - he'll play SS for the Brewers if healthy. Otherwise, it'll be Arcia at SS and Hiura at 2B.
In other Brewer news, looks like the Brewers have informed Braun that they will refuse the option for him in 2021, so it's likely this is his last year in Milwaukee.
I'm just here for the baseball.
