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

[Edgy MD]

Strangers have apparently come and fractured Dilson's finger.

Campbell, Reynolds, Muno, Tovar, or possibly Castellanos. Go fish.

Dilson to the 15-day DL... what's next?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Slick postin'!

[Zvon]

Reynolds already

Never, and I mean NEVER, ask that question.

[Edgy MD]

For what it's worth, Campbell has destroyed opposing pitching in the 15 games since he went down: .440 / .569 / .820 // 1.389.

[Edgy MD]

Campy time.

I take back the question... I'll just quietly wonder it to myself!

And the answer is, a knee injury to Brandon Nimmo.

Binghamton Press and Sun-Bulletin wrote: Binghamton Mets infielder Brandon Nimmo's left Friday night's game with a knee injury in the ninth inning. Nimmo, who Baseball America ranks as the third-best prospect in the Mets farm system and 45-th best prospect in the minors, was the first batter in the inning. He beat out an infield chopper, but went down in a heap after crossing the base. It appeared Nimmo's left foot may have slid off the bag and caused him to twist his knee while running through the base. He got to his feet initially, but could not put weight on his left leg. Nimmo fell back down on his way to the dugout, and had to be helped by teammates down the dugout steps and into the clubhouse. After the game, Nimmo got examined by the B-Mets team doctor, but it is very possible that the Mets have him get examined by their doctors in New York City. Nimmo remained in the trainer's room after the game and was not at his locker.

Falling in a heap usually means ACL tear. See you in 2016 Brandon Nimmo.

In other news, David Wright set to resume baseball activities on Monday.

No word yet on when the active roster will resume baseball activities.

[Guest d'Kong76]

How does one resume baseball activities without swinging a bat?

[Edgy MD]

It's almost like a setup for an Airplane! joke.

Doctor: Everything checks out! It looks like I can clear you to begin resuming baseball activities!

Ballplayer: Great! <> <> <> Feels good to get the juices flowing again!

Wright, of course, would start by wiping his nose on shirt.

I guess running, throwing, fielding ground balls...

[Guest d'Kong76]

Well... I know that! It's just typical Mets nonsense to me though, David
Wright's gonna this and he's gonna do that for seemingly the last week
and now he's resumed baseball activities. Oh, but he can't (or won't) be
swinging a bat quite yet.

[Centerfield]

Did they give us a timeframe for Dilson and Nimmo?

Sprained ACL, per Rubin. No timetable yet...he'll resume baseball activities when he is pain free.

Per Mets.com yesterday:

Another set of X-rays confirmed the break in Dilson Herrera's right middle finger. He will be re-examined in three weeks.

[ashie62]

CBS in reporting that David may be back to the Mets in about 10 days. That makes me happy.

[ashie62]

Oh well, is David just plain shot?

[metsmarathon]

Well. Fuck.

Well, I believe the Mets should just go ahead and activate Wright. He should fit right in with the rest of the roster. It appears they can't swing a bat either.

An article on Matt Harvey having a dead arm.

If Parnell's career as we once knew it were on the table in the ER, how long would it be before Clooney looked up at the clock and pronounced it dead?

Adam Rubin wrote: Working on a second straight night for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2014, rehabbing Bobby Parnell allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while recording only one out. Seven straight batters reached before he was pulled.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I hope the best for them but Bobby Parnell and/or Vic Black are about the least vital returning pieces to this team. Conceiveably bigger jolts could come from the return of Blevins and dare I say it, Mejia, both around 7/1.

Apparently it is OK to warm Mejia up in the minors and have him ready to go the day his suspension ends. Would not have thought he'd beat back Black, Parnell or Wright but he might all 3.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Best case scenario for Parnell is that there is a long recovery from TJ surgery. But what does that project for Wheeler for next season? Should be not expect him until the All-Star break?

[ashie62]

I saw Wright had two epidural shots for his back.

I would think Molly is extolling the virtues of being able to walk in middle age.

The current estimate is June 2016, so the All-Star break is certainly a possibility.

[Edgy MD]

I wouldn't conclude too much about one case based on another single case, however.

[Edgy MD]

Dillon Gee to be activated and get Wednesday's start @San Diego, where Nettles is expected to get him, bottom of the ninth.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Murphy 15 day'd... Muno recalled... per the twitterboids...
