John Gibbons gave a brief update on Lawrie this morning in his office. It was almost apologetic in that the organization honestly believed he would be back in the lineup by now. Apparently he isn't scheduled for a game yet and therefore no timeline on his return.
It sounded like a little frustration on Gibby's part because with the side/ribcage/oblique it's all about the player and it seems Lawrie himself is being ultraconservative. He said he needs his right side to feel like his left side before he comes back. Hell, my right side hasn't felt like my left side since 1984 and I strap it up and never miss a column.
One thing I think Lawrie's absence is proving is that he is one of the more indispensable hard to replace players on this roster. Reyes is another.

Thought we could use a thread for Lawrie updates. I'm dying to see him back in the lineup.
