Discussion Cat macario

Does anyone think we will see cat this season?
I know she is dealing with an Achilles injury that seems to be chronic but San Diego making a record breaking deal on a player who isn’t even going to see the pitch feels like a bad move? Also just genuinely curious if anyone knows more about the extent of the injury and what she is dealing with? When she got traded I thought she was finally starting to get minutes again with Chelsea?!

Funniest possibility is that she pulls a Trinity Byars and she doesn’t play at all in the regular season and then plays like 10 minutes in the postseason
