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

[Edgy MD]

Did I miss something since the "I feel completely normal" news?

[MFS62]

So, you think a guy on the IL couldn't get hurt?

Think again.

Max Scherzer got bitten by a dog on his (non throwing) hand.

You can't make this stuff up.

Tylor Megill threw 3 2/3 innings in his lone rehab appearance for Binghamton, and is now heading out west to be evaluated as to whether he should be activated.

[Chad ochoseis]

Just saying, but Lindor has stunk up the joint since he fractured his finger...below .200 BA for June with an OPS to match. Might it be time to give him some time on the IL to heal? I could live with Guillorme at short every day for the next week and a half if we get Good Francisco back in July.

[G-Fafif]

Marte out of the lineup tonight, expects to back in there tomorrow.

[Gwreck]

Scherzer threw a three inning simulated game today. Rehab assignment (at least one start) to begin Tuesday.

Have they at least determined which arm it is?

[kcmets]

That sucks, he's been like a human Electrolux out there this season.

Nido out with "non-injury illness," too.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Deven Marrero has been playing SS for Syracuse, and has some limited MLB experiece -- but is not on the 40-man. Blankenship is there, too, and also not on the 40-man.

[Edgy MD]

I got 50 Cranebucks on Gosuke Katoh.



It's smart money!

[Edgy MD]

The only smart part of that bet turned out to be only putting Cranebucks on the line.

[nymr83]

This is a big injury for the Mets because of the way the roster is currently constructed with a short bench and at least one DH-only bat. Might they have to consider beimg down a reliever at least until usage forces them to change back?

[G-Fafif]

[nymr83]

yeah they probably needed the positional flexibility of Marrero even if he wasnt the best available bat

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I can't believe I guessed right!

[G-Fafif]

Taijuan Walker won't pitch Sunday in deference to his bulging disc, but won't go on the IL. Should pitch in the week ahead, Buck indicates.

[MFS62]

Rehabbing Joey Lucchesi is starting a game game for St. Lucie today.

[G-Fafif]

INF Brett Baty underwent an MRI earlier today that revealed a UCL tear in his right thumb. He has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to August 29. He will undergo surgery tomorrow. A typical return to play for this type of injury is five weeks. Additional updates will be provided as appropriate. OF Terrance Gore has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #4.

[Lefty Specialist]

Oh well. He showed some promise and I imagine he'll be a big part of the plans for 2023.
