Life is painful: Injuries in Eleven

MFS62 wrote: From Rotoworld: Bobby Parnell - R - Mets Bobby Parnell has been dealing with an issue with his right middle finger. Team doctors have told the right-hander that it could be a desensitized nerve, but there hasn't been anything conclusive. Parnell has admitted that the ailment makes it hard for him to grip the baseball, which may help to explain his 6.14 ERA and 1.91 WHIP. He was able to appear in Tuesday's game, but it's not clear if the Mets might shut him down for a few days. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/5658/bobby-parnell Later

I say aneuryism.

Because why not?

Even in a laugher... Cripes.

Mets center fielder Angel Pagan left Thursday's game against the Astros with a pulled muscle in his left side, after running into second baseman Justin Turner on a popup in the fourth inning. Chasing down Hunter Pence's pop to shallow left-center field, Turner backpedaled into Pagan's left side, forcing him to whirl out of the way of further contact. Though he stayed in the game for another two innings, Pagan gave way to a defensive replacement following his at-bat in the bottom of the fifth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, we had a healthy offense for six innings, anyway.

[Ceetar]

Gary said Parnell does not have an aneurysm, but a localized blood clot. He's taking asprin.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

AAAAAUGH!

Angel Pagan will land on the disabled list before Friday's game. Jason Pridie will be activated and is in the lineup over Scott Hairston with the Diamondbacks using a left-handed starter.

[G-Fafif]

And just when we were getting hot.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Really interesting to see who gets time in centerfield.

[ashie62]

Jeff Duncan has been re-signed.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johan "way ahead of schedule" in rehab. He's throwing and junk.

[Ceetar]

Updating this..

Beato with tendinitis.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On the plus side, Chin-Lung Hu's job (as well as those of Harris, Hairston, and Pridie) is safe for the moment.

On the minus side...

LobbyMan wrote: The plan to activate Angel Pagan from the disabled list on Saturday has been scrapped. After playing a second full rehab game in the Florida State League on Thursday night, Pagan complained of pain with the strained left oblique that sent him to the disabled list on April 22, Terry Collins said. Pagan was en route to New York to be examined by team doctors. Clearly, a recurrence of discomfort requires a shutdown period, meaning Pagan may now be at least a few weeks from returning. "He played and said he's been feeling fine," Collins said. "And yesterday a couple of guys talked to him and he said he was feeling fine. Last night, after the game, he felt that he could swing. We were hoping he would be here [active] tomorrow. We just felt he wasn't ready for that, and that there was some discomfort and that ... tenderness."

[Fman99]

Fuck.

Chris Young to the 15 day DL.

I like this guy and everything and he's good when he pitches but man, maybe he should just pack it in. Guy can't stay on the field.

[Gwreck]

Per Rubin, MRI of Young's shoulder is not encouraging.

I still say it was a good signing. Low-cost, high-upside. At least we got a couple good starts out of him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, Santana at least five weeks away, probably more like eight. Bonser down. Mejia down. Young looking down.

Rotation is Pelfrey-Dickey-Niese-Capuano-Gee.

If we need to keep digging, next up is Carrasco, I think. He's two starts into his conversion and still stretching. Schwinden is performing well, but I don't know if it's worth seeing as real.

Crazy, maybe, but I'm a-thinking Taylor Buchholz-type thougths.

Misch is probably a candidate there too. depth looking rather short, but no saying someone doesn't become available by trade somewhat soon.

My sources on Twitter who have intimate knowledge of people within the Mets fanbase are saying that Young might have and they stress might on condition of anonymity has pitched his last game for the Mets.

[soupcan]

Your 'sources'.

You crack me up you crazy old Mick, you.

[ashie62]

I didn't expect both Chris Young and Chris Capuano would stay healthy this season.

[bmfc1]

Sherman says that Wright is hurt:

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He doesn;t make much of a case for the "injury" affecting performance.

I'm sure Wright is banged up a little every year.

never question "sources" , especially ones with intimate knowledge of things.....

If it's true, and I could certainly see him being a little nicked up, it would've certainly behooved Collins to maybe give him a day off somewhere? Give him off Wednesday and let him have the back to back days off, or tell him not to swing or something. you know..rest the injury and let it heal? maybe?


I'm not yet worried about Wright. he's not exactly known for great Aprils. Remember his homerless, .244 avg April in 2007, a year that he finishd 4th in MVP voting and may have indeed won if the Mets didn't collapse?

[metirish]

Ed Coleman thinks Wright just needs a blow..........all that swinging and missing probably has him banged up.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, that's why there's a BJ's Clubhouse at Citi Field.

[Ceetar]

Maybe he should ask Pridie to bring his girlfriend to work..

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Who is our back-up third-baseman? Hu? Murphy? Turner?

Soon to be renamed "Fmans Clubhouse".

Turner

[G-Fafif]

Young done for 2011. Four games started, three of them pitched very well, two of them intensely memorable -- 3-for-3 hitting in one, providing backdrop for We Got Bin Laden announcement in the other.

$1.1 million. Nice work if you can get it.
