Injuries 2016

[ashie62]

Any time frame on Reyes?

Other than 3-5

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Poor Duda.

No Wright, no Harvey and no Duda. Tough to make a big run missing so many big pieces.

[Frayed Knot]

Did we ever find out how Duda injured himself in the first place?
It seems to me that all of a sudden there was just an announcement of a stress fracture in his back but no explanation of how it happened ... and now it turns into a year-long thing.

IIRC, it involved Melissa McCarthy, a French Maid's outfit and a trapeze. But I don't remember the other details.

they have been very quiet about it. suspect it is Barwis.

[Edgy MD]

I've spotted Barwis once or twice in the dugout during the Yankee series. It seems a little unusual. It's certainly the first time I've recognized him. Aren't you only supposed to have two members of the training staff out there?

It strikes me that they've got a three-man starting lineup — Cabrera, Céspedes, and Reyes — everybody else is part of a rotation that needs to double check the lineup card every day.

As much as it has hamstrung the Mets all season, played correctly, this many ready-to-deploy players could be an advantage down the stretch. A lot of fresh legs, to go with Cabrera and Céspedes, both of whom look like the've ground their wheels to bits.

Matz to throw off a mound tomorrow.

Man, Duda coming back would be awesome.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hopefully, if he does come back this season it will be with close to two weeks left in the regular season. If it takes longer than that, would the Mets consider activating him directly to a post-season roster after not playing for about five months?

[ashie62]

Lagares being rehabbed for his glove only.

Matz threw today and Lucas did hit.

I really wonder if the Mets bring back Duda in arbitration.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Why wouldn't they? It's not like they have a credible 1st baseman under contract for 2017.

If he can still play is what I was driving at. He has a broken back.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wilmer's recovery from his wrist injury not going well. He's quoted in the Daily News today saying that he may not be able to play again this season. "It's frustrating," he says.

The Mets could really use his right-handed bat. What makes it even more frustrating is the fact that the only reason he's injured is because his manager dozed off in the dugout and neglected to pinch run for him.

[Centerfield]

That cost us that game and who knows how many more.

[Frayed Knot]

Wilmer keeps getting injured during windows when he'd essentially be playing almost every day.
Early in the year it was right after David's injury. This time he would have grabbed many of Neil Walker's ABs and then a chunk of Loney's when he started to slump.

[Centerfield]

It looks like there is no update on Flores.

If I'm the Mets, I'd try giving him yet another cortisone shot.

Have they tried Robitussin?

[Benjamin Grimm]

They even tried kissing it to make it feel better.

Seven of twenty-five members of the roster that broke camp have remained active through all 157 games of this season to date:

Familia (longest current uninterrupted active streak, dating to return from DL in Sept. '13)
Granderson (active every game of his three-season tenure)
Colon (whose only time missed was for bereavement leave in August '14)
Syndergaard (active since his promotion in May '15)
Reed (active from the end of August '15 onward)
Blevins (pretty impressive considering how he disappeared in 2015)
De Aza (who must've been good at dodgeball, given how he's often faded into the background)

Robles missed the first two games serving a leftover 2015 suspension. DeGrom took family medical emergency leave for a spell in April. Everybody else was either demoted, disabled or dispatched (Bastardo) at some point. Neil Walker was the last to join the DL parade, going directly to the 60-day on September 6. Given that deGrom has had surgery, yet is still rattling around the expanded active roster, the regular-season personnel paperwork is probably done shuffling (barring calamity or five-game acquisition unseen).

[Edgy MD]

Syndergaard skipped a start or two around the All-Star Break or did he pitch right through?

[Frayed Knot]

The longest Syndergaard went between games was July 8th thru 19th

Marc Carig ‏@MarcCarig 13m13 minutes ago Sandy going to address Matz situation. That isn't good.

Other double digit missed game streaks:
d'Arnaud = 50
Duda = 107
Walker = 33
Cabrera = 17
Wright = 115
Cespedes = 14
Lagares = 16 + 47
Flores = 16 + what's looking like the final 20
Reyes = 17
Ruggiano = 15 + 34
Matz = 45
Harvey = 80
Niese = 37

and then consider that Reyes, Niese, and Ruggiano weren't even on the team from the start, so their combined 103 games missed is out of a possible max of only 195

[Edgy MD]

Even 2015 Mets aren't safe.

Get well, Dill.

[Lefty Specialist]

Looks like we've got a perforated Colon.

Would explain why he had nothing in his last start.

says it's been two weeks though. Some hard-core borderline illegal pain killers and he'll battle through it.
