Just say "discomfort in his right arm" or something that is not laughable.

It's also known as Coxsackie, so there isn't much to choose from aesthetically.

[G-Fafif]

Kelly DFA'd, Cespedes to DL (awaiting word on surgery or what)

McNeil and Evans are the great Tuesday night hope

[smg58]

And Reyes yet lives.

[G-Fafif]

Corey Oswalt, who's pitched very well, has been sent down to clear space for Jason Vargas, who hasn't.

[G-Fafif]

Official: Austin Jackson is a Met, Matt den Dekker is DFA'd.

[bmfc1]

Guillorme is back to fill the Cabrera slot.

[Edgy MD]

Hopefully, he'll also inherit #13.

[bmfc1]

Not that it matters as they all perform at the same level of "quality" but there could be 4 different Mets tomorrow:
Frazier
Matz might go on the DL
Evans might go on the DL
And they always interchange relievers. I'd vote for glove-throwing Shawn Kelly who was released by WSH today as their GM took a stand on player conduct (not running to first--not a problem; racist tweets--just say that you're sorry; but don't throw a glove!). Also, Bobby Wahl (Familia trade) is doing well so they might as well give him a shot.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Word is Wahl has been called up, need a 40-spot.

Goodbye, Drew Gagnon, we hardly knew ye, except for your one and only appearance before the Tuesday Night Mets Club.

Give your 47 to Bobby on the way out too

[G-Fafif]

Frazier activated, Evans to DL (broken leg but reportedly not a terrible one -- easy to say when it's not yours).

Wahl up and wearing 61, Rhame to Vegas.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

61? Jeez

[seawolf17]

It's "Wear The Number Of Days You'll Spend On The DL" Night.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is the only time in Mets history in which they've had a 59, a 60, a 61, a 62, a 63, a 64, a 65, a 66, a 67, and a 68 in the same year. It's the new normal

Did you tweet that? That's a neat factoid, if kind of a pathetic indictment of this team.

[Edgy MD]

Pathetic? It's the best offensive line in Mets history!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'll do it now, thanks for the courage... oh wait, it's one! Thanks!

[G-Fafif]

Kevin Kaczmarski DFA'd to make room for Bobby Wahl on the 40-man...is a sentence that would have had no meaning not that long ago, but now it describes a current Met roster situation.

Marcos Molina, no longer in the Mets system, has been suspended by MLB for PED use.

Matz not on DL, but that seems his destination, given his mild flexor pronator strain. Matz is one of five Mets on the active 25 since Opening Day (Rosario, Reyes, Lugo and Gsellman are the others).

[bmfc1]

Swarzak has finally been pitching well... oh wait, he went on the DL today with a shoulder inflammation issue. Jacob "Match to a" Rahme is back, he of the 8.00 ERA.

That's the kind of ERA that makes opposing batters drool with anticipation.
I hope that makes the bat so slippery they can't grip it well.
Later

[G-Fafif]

Mets activate David Wright from 60-day DL. So much for the youth movement.
