"Strangers come and cut your heart out": Injuries in 2015

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So THAT's why Recker has provided okay-if-no-great-shakes-defense while giving us nothing on the offensive front. #JohnnyMonellIsTheBumOnMYBench

Rubinesque wrote: New York Mets backup catcher Anthony Recker has been diagnosed with a bone spur in the back of his right elbow, the team announced Wednesday. Recker will continue to play with the issue, including getting a start Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. He may have the spur removed at the end of the season, although Recker suspects that may not even be necessary. "I think we�ll kind of just wait until the end of the year and see what it looks like then,� Recker said. �But, for now, I�m not worried about it.�

It's okay, though, as we've already put in an order for one warm body (about whom the one notable thing seems to be a last name that sounds like an internet-slang gerund) to the Minnesota warehouse.

Rohlfing?

Isn't that Craig Swan's new career?

Bobby Parnell shut down with forearm soreness

Oh, Bobby.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I dread seeing this thread pop to the top. Hopefully this forearm soreness isn't anything, but it very well might be.

Adam Wainwright also dreads seeing this thread pop up, as he hits the DL with an achilles injury trying trying to explode out of the batter's box.

Montero = MRI on shoulder

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm so tempted to lock this thread so that it can't receive any additional posts.

those guys are in the same rotation as Montero, so were it to be a problem, they're not replacements.

If Plawecki proved himself quickly I might ship d'Arnaud to the AL for an arm.

[Edgy MD]

That arm better be attached to Chris Sale. d'Arnaud was the team's best hitter when he went down.

1) Only for an AL arm? Are there no NL arms you want?
2) Can we wait until Plawecki has 2 weeks in the majors and say gets his BA over .200 before we start declaring d'Arnaud to be yesterday's news?

Rafael Montero taking a detour on his way back to Las Vegas to get his shoulder checked out in New York.

Brandon Nimmo. Knee.

I'm a load o' bad news this morning, ain't I?

Well if it's any consolation you were badly scooped on the Montero news (click back a page).

In other news, Beatman Mike Vorkunov apparently injured his tying fingers

While Ricco the severity, or if it's worrisome at all, is unknown, a Mets official said that it was nothing serious and that Nimmo had no issue walking afterward to the team bus.

[Edgy MD]

I'm thrilled to hear the guy can walk to the bus under his own power?

his optional assignment rescinded and he's on the 15 day DL.

here's your conspiracy theory.

They started him in the majors. They sent him down but with a definitive date in mind to be recalled. They needed to send him back down for various reasons, but the mandatory 10 day demotion would've triggered his option year. (20 days total needed)

Instead he's on the DL, which saves his option temporarily, gives them time to trade Gee or stumble into an empty rotation spot another way, and gives them 30 or so days of minor league 'rehab' time to have Montero start games in the minors before they'd need to recall him or officially option him to AAA.

And they can monitor his progress in those minor league games from the grassy knoll.

Wow. Ambriorix Burgos.
There's a gun-toting crazy man I'd forgotten all about.

[Edgy MD]

I wonder what date he's eligible to reinstated to society.

I'm never going to forget about that guy. Most hateful Met ever, and � even apart from that � an avatar for all Omar Minaya transactions ever.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Was it the gun with him? Didn't he, like, run over his wife and another lady?

And Matt Wise-- there's a forgettable Mettable.

Newsday wrote: David Wright's injured hamstring is "doing very well," the Mets said in a statement Friday. But the rest of that sentence about the Mets' captain and third baseman included this: "in the last few days, he has experience some lower back pain." advertisement | advertise on newsday Wright underwent an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, and no structural damage was discovered. The Mets said Wright will resume baseball activities when the discomfort in his back lessens. Wright injured his hamstring in an April 14 game against the Phillies trying to steal second base in the eighth inning. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list the following day.

Updates from the Puma:

* Carlyle - has had a sore hamstring but now adds "back spasms" to the mix after covering 1B last night. It's why Goeddel got the 8th inning after Buddy's final out in the 7th. Apparently, on this team anyway, hamstring problems lead to back problems.

* d'Arnaud - cleared for baseball activities (except for hitting) and went down to PSL (with Gee) to workout. May begin hitting within a week and then go on a rehab assignment

* Wright - receiving treatment but no activity yet. No schedule for return but "not in the next week" says John Ricco

* Parnell - allowed 3 runs in an inning at PSL, having trouble with fastball command (described as 90-92) and is "bouncing breaking pitches" ... but other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?

Makes me wonder if it was a sciatic problem that Carlyle thought was a hamstring problem...

[Frayed Knot]

Sciatica! Sciatica!!

CHICAGO (AP) Mets center fielder Juan Lagares has a slight strain on his upper right side and has been ruled out for New York's game at the Chicago Cubs. Lagares, who won a Gold Glove last season, has been playing with the injury for about a week, but was held out Tuesday night when it got worse. New York manager Terry Collins says he also might sit out on Wednesday. Collins says the injury is ''somewhere underneath his right armpit, probably caused by the diving catch he made in New York last week.'' Lagares, who had played in all 32 games before Tuesday, had an MRI earlier in the day to rule out anything serious.
