Guerrero was doing terrific and had an OPS over .900 and OPS+ of about 150 when he tweaked his knee about 50 games into the season.
Instead of going on the IL, he missed 1 game and then tried to play through it and went into a horrible slump and simply hasn't recovered his swing since.
It's a false economy to think you're coming out ahead by playing guys through injuries. Kiermaier also got banged up a few times and hasn't been the same at the plate or in the field since. If someone gets hurt, give them the 10 days off and let them come back refreshed and healthy.
