Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius blames the worst season of his career on an elbow condition he says developed after he was vaccinated for COVID-19. He claims the shots caused him to develop pseudogout — a form of arthritis characterized by sudden, painful swelling — in his right elbow which debilitated his performance.

Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said that no vaccines, including those for COVID-19, could cause pseudogout. “It has nothing to do with the vaccine,”

Gregorius was one of the Phillies’ top hitters last season and signed a $28 million contract in the offseason, but he has been one of baseball’s least productive offensive players in 2021 and is valued roughly the same as a replacement-level player in Wins Above Replacement.
