Injuries 2016

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

what the everloving fuck.

I blame Mike Barwis.

[Edgy MD]

He has the only unscarred elbow in the pitching rotation. It's like the sword of Damocles hanging over the guy.

The scalpel of Damocles.

OE: And how about the all-new Ring-and-Run Terry?

[Edgy MD]

About as good a set of news as you had any right to hope for. Céspedes is day-to-day and Syndy's MRI has shown no structural damage and he's being treated with anti-inflammatories.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wheeler, too: no structural damage; sensory nerve issue, treated with cortisone shot and a couple of days' rest before getting back on the throwing-routine cycle.

Worries about Thor. They always underplay things.

who knows, maybe Thor being proactive and honest about aches is actually preventative.

This is precisely why Terry would have preferred to keep things under wraps. now whenever Syndy has a bad day, and even when he doesn't, he'll face questions about the elbow.

Not saying the team should have succeeded in that, just that injuries are such a messy thing to endute.

Especially when there are half a jillion of them.

When is David Wright to be reactivated?

[Frayed Knot]

When he's healed.

[Centerfield]

Matz. Has to be at least kinda hurt if you don't throw your slider all game right?

Mets downplaying.

[Theoldmole]

Where does Lagares stand?

[Edgy MD]

I think typical time for that sort of injury is six-eight weeks, so I would guess we'll look for him around the time of the trade deadline.

[Guest d'Kong76]

It's almost like it would be easier to keep track of who's not DL'd,
injured, banged up, day to day, nursing a ________, might retire,
or almost set to return...

Wonder how Yo's ankle woke up this morning.

[Edgy MD]

The funny thing is that they haven't called up an outfielder all season. Bumps and bruises though there have been many, the only Mets outfielder that has hit the disabled list has been Lagares, and the Mets replaced him with an infielder in the person of Ty Kelly, and subsequently replaced Kelly with a pitcher.

[ashie62]

Concerned about Matz's elbow. He referred to it as being tight but "nothing unusual."

They probably read this post this morning and then called up Nimmo IMMEDIATELY.

[G-Fafif]

Matz reportedly in peril of missing next start, Wednesday vs. Nationals, due to elbow tightness for which he was examined today.

Let us all rub our left arms in view of cameras to reverse whatever curses this young man.

Mets downplaying less than they were before.

Bone spur in the elbow, Ackert reports re Matz.

I'm shocked.

[ashie62]

Another one bites the dust.

[G-Fafif]

Newsday reporting surgery may be required.

WASHINGTON — Steven Matz could be facing elbow surgery to treat a bone spur that has forced him to deal with lingering discomfort, multiple sources told Newsday on Monday. Matz’s elbow ligament is not damaged. But the spur is causing pain, and the Mets are concerned that it has impacted his performance. Matz is scheduled to start on Wednesday but the Mets have not committed to it. Matz is 7-3 with a 3.29 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 76 2/3 innings this season.

[Centerfield]

It's starting to feel like 1987.

Who wants to grow a mullet with me?

[Centerfield]

Bone spurs for Noah as well.

Just fucking punt.

[Edgy MD]

Granderson: hurt or not hurt?

[G-Fafif]

Harvey: DL for shoulder discomfort.

[Guest themetfairy]

From Mets Twitter -

Harvey was seen by #Mets doctors and has been referred to Dr. Thompson in St. Louis for further examination set to take place on Thursday.

[G-Fafif]

Lagares to DL for thumb ligaments, apparently facing surgery. Nimmo en route.

[TransMonk]

Per Metsblog: Duda shut down for 30 days due to back flare up.

I don't see any way that he is coming back this season.
