Luis Robert Jr Injury

[ashie62]

Robert was thought to be day to day with back tightness

However he did not respond to treatment and is waiting for the results of an MRI 

A trip to the IL is thought to be likely 

I was vocal about being happy with this acquisition when it was made but Robert with another back injury sounds like a long term stay on the IL

Another addition to David Stearns legion of doom

The Mets seemingly had been openly coveting Robert for a year or two. I never quite understood it.

Dr. Google is not terribly optimistic for a speedy return:

Quote

A lumbar herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a lower spine disc breaks through its outer ring, irritating nearby nerves and causing significant pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs or buttocks. Most cases improve within 4–6 weeks with conservative care, such as PT, NSAIDs, and activity modification.

Weak buttocks is my diagnosis for the 2026 Mets.

Weak, weak buttocks.
