“Ouch,” Said the Met (Injury Watch 2022)

[batmagadanleadoff]

When I said June, maybe I shoulda said after the All-Star break. I didn't read the original reports closely enough and so I thought I read that deGrom would be expected to be out for four weeks. Instead, the report said that deGrom would be shut down for about four weeks. So now we have to add what would essentially be deGrom's Spring Training once he's cleared to pitch again.



I guess if you're a Met fan, ya gotta hope that a few days from now, deGrom says that he suddenly feels fine and that whatever was bothering him went away.

The silver lining in the cloud:

“I think this is a huge relief,” said Dr. Michael Alaia, a sports health expert and associate professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone Health. An MRI exam Friday found the Mets superstar has a stress reaction in his right scapula. According to Alaia, the “extremely rare” injury in lay humans — though not unheard of in pitchers — is caused by repetitive stress on the muscles that are pulling on the shoulder blade bone. The Mets have said their co-ace will not throw for up to four weeks before they get more imaging on his throwing shoulder. Given that deGrom will first have to allow the bone to heal before building back up again, it's possible he won't debut this season until June. But the odds of this injury spiraling into something greater are slight. “Thankfully, most of the time these don't need surgery,” Alaia said over the phone. “Thankfully, most of the time these heal very nicely with a period of relative rest. “If this was something more — like a rotator cuff injury or labrum injury or something soft tissue related that may or may not heal — I think that can potentially bode a little bit more of a negative prognosis, or it could leave the future a little bit more undecided. Bones heal really well in the human body.”

I don't think I mentioned you at all.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Stalking you? This is the most absurd self-awareness lacking post I've ever read. For close to 10 years, you relentlessly sought me out to challenge whatever I wrote, disagree with me no matter how contrived and misinformed your responses were and then to mock me - while all the while, I totally ignored you., until I had enough. But I'm stalking you.



Your latest thing is to rant about my so called "edited posts" as if they're some part of a master plan to take over the world. 99% of the time, there's not a shred of evidence that I've edited anything, but you continue, nonetheless. And if I did, so what? That, you still havent bothered to explain. But you quote my posts when you have no commentary to add, cluttering the threads with repeat posts, just so that if I were to edit any of those posts, you could say "Aha! He edited his post!" What a moron.



But I'm stalking you. Oh my! What did you? Get tired of bullying the new guy?

Oh, good. Uh.

Leave.

Me.

Alone.

It's fucking creepy.

If you're cool with the way he treats me, then fuck you too.

[G-Fafif]

Scherzer didn't pitch in this morning's intrasquad game, the one that was to keep him on track for his first start. Mets will update his condition later.

[G-Fafif]

"Precautionary" is the word, re Scherzer's hamstring.

[G-Fafif]

Scherzer says is hamstring "just tightened up" while running the other day, went through his routine to pitch today, felt it tightening again. Calls it "a little hiccup". Can't say for sure he'll be ready for the Opener.

[Benjamin Grimm]

By Thursday, I think our Opening Day starter will be someone like Trevor Williams.

[G-Fafif]

Jake speaks, via SNY:

Mets ace Jacob deGrom spoke to reporters on Sunday morning for the first time since the team announced he will miss Opening Day due to a stress reaction in his right scapula. "Yeah I mean I'm really frustrated," deGrom said. "Like I said I came into camp feeling really good, felt like my elbow and shoulder were in a good spot, and then to hear a stress reaction in the bone was definitely something I was not expecting. Level of frustration is really high right now." DeGrom went on to explain that he isn't sure how the injury happened, and that he felt prepared to pitch a full year after a strong offseason. "That's something that I've been trying to figure out," deGrom said. "I felt like I put myself in a good spot this offseason to be ready to make 30-plus starts. So I'd be guessing if I said exactly what happened. I tossed around, short ramp-up. I haven't pitched competitively in what 10 months, if you really looked at it that way. But that would be a guess if I said exactly what happened." DeGrom added that doctors said his shoulder looked as good as it did from previous MRIs, and that once the bone heals, he'll be ready to get back on the mound. "Like I said I felt good, through my bullpen I felt good," deGrom said. "Then I went to play catch and felt a little something in my shoulder. Honestly I was expecting to hear, 'take a couple of days off and you'll be ready to go.' But talking to the doctors about it and it being bone, they said as far as that, once it heals it's healed and then be ready to go. We're asking them how my shoulder looked overall, and they said it looks the same from previous MRIs and that part looks good, I guess that's the only plus that came out of this." The two-time Cy Young Award winner then confirmed that he still plans to opt-out of his contract at the end of the season, despite his most recent injury. He's set to make $33.5 million this season, and if he were to opt-in for the 2023 season he'd make $30.5 million and the Mets would have a club option to pick up for the 2024 season at $32.5 million, per Spotrac.

Zimmo: Still neck, could miss OD

[A Boy Named Seo]

Cortisone shot for Nimmo who missed today's game. And Tijuan Walker's felt knee pain today, per Deesha Thosar. :-|



Are we having fun yet?

[Fman99]

Can we please fire all of the strength and conditioning employees? No other team is snakebit like this.

[Lefty Specialist]

I've seen this movie before and I don't like the ending.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I would really like to see them make a deal for a starting pitcher.



I like Megill as the sixth guy, but the depth falls off pretty quickly after that. Maybe Peterson will be okay, maybe not. It might be wise to trade McNeil or Smith or Davis for the best established starter they can get.

[roger_that]

No, no, a thousand times NO!!!!!



I never want to see a productive position player swapped out for a back-of-the-rotation starting pitcher EVER again!



Absolutely not. Wash your mouth out with Brillo just for typing that. Or your fingers, I guess.

[whippoorwill]

lol

[Edgy MD]

If Francisco Lindor has to be deactivated — and I imagine that's a strong possibility if only for a short-term, concussion-protocols stint — the Mets certainly don't have the high-level shortstop depth they had in 2021. The most likely call-up would seem to be Matt Reynolds, which would make him, for the time being, the only active Met who was on the 2015 World Series roster.



If you want to read into things, Manny Rodriguez, a shortstop from Brooklyn only recently up from Binghamton, started for Syracuse this evening, but was pinch-hit for (with Reynolds) in the ninth. It's possible they yanked him to get him packed and on his way to Washington.

[ashie62]

I believe Lindor passed protocol.

[Lefty Specialist]

'Shoulder irritation ' sounds suspiciously like big problems for Walker.

[G-Fafif]

Bursitis for Walker (10-day IL).

[G-Fafif]

Trevor May Day-today. DiComo elaborates.

A subsequent MRI revealed what he described as a “very, very low-grade triceps strain.” May will rest for a couple of days while taking anti-inflammatory medication, with an eye toward returning soon. He is not currently an IL candidate.

[nymr83]

Every time I see this thread title I think of Sandra Boynton's book "Moo Baa Lalala"



"Ouch" said the Met [Quack says the Duck]

A Horse says Nay,

It's quiet now, what do you say?

[G-Fafif]

[nymr83]

Sounds like he can workout but still cant throw?
