Chad Tracy's update after the second game of the doubleheader: “It looks like a significant biceps injury. So he’s going to still be seeing more doctors. We’ll get a final conclusion but it’s a pretty significant biceps injury. It’s probably going to take him out.”

More from Willson Contreras on trying to swing: “My hand hurts. I mean when it hurts, it hurts. Especially when it’s the top hand. If it was a bottom hand, I could swing with the right hand, but when it’s the right hand, my right hand just feels weaker until I just let the bat go. It’s not a good sign. Again, I’m doing everything that I can to come back and play with the boys and be there with the boys, but sometimes you have to listen to your body. And I’m listening to the trainers. I’m doing everything that they ask me to do."

More from Willson Contreras: “I’m an honest guy. And if I don’t feel confidence in my hand to be able to play either Sunday or Tuesday, I’ll be completely honest with the team. I don’t want to hurt the team in any way. I know that the guys here have been playing every single day, and I respect that. If I don’t feel good, I don’t want to take anybody’s spot. That’s my point. And the whole team is playing good. Even though we lose tonight, the energy is still up. The guys can’t wait for Tuesday, and I can’t wait either, but we’ll see what happens.

Willson Contreras: “It’s frustrating. Being honest, I was hoping to swing today, couldn’t swing. I came into my locker, tearing up. I’m being honest because that’s what we play for. We play to play in October. September, October. And it’s really frustrating when you’re doing the best you can do and you’re expecting to heal faster and it doesn’t happen."
Contreras said he choked up at his locker today thinking about the lack of progress in his hand. Vowed to do everything he could do try to play but also said he’d be honest with the team if not good enough to play.
