Josh Edgin looks for a May 1 return. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/p ... josh-edgin

That would be nice. (I wonder who would get bumped upon his return?) If he does come back as expected, the Mets will have three lefties in their pen: Bastardo, Blevins, and Edgin. And potentially a fourth in Gilmartin.

I assume the fates will bump somebody before the Mets are forced to.

Well, it does frequently come to that. But I guess I'm conjecturing where Edgin might land on the depth chart.

Edgy MD Jan 27 2016 05:53 PM Re: 'Tis but a scratch: 2016 Injury Thread

Certainly behind the guaranteed major league contractors that are Bastardo and Blevins, but ahead of Gilmartin (generalist/borderline starter), Alvarez (indifferently experienced), and Smoker (non-experienced).

Zimmo in a boot for foot tendon tear. That's not good.

Greg Bird -- Yanx 1B prospect who filled in admirably when Teixeira was shelved for long portions last season [11 HRs in 157 ABs] -- will miss all of 2016 due to surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum. He was probably destined to at least start the year in AAA while waiting for the inevitable Teixeira or ARod injury, but this certainly steals from the Yanx' depth even if not with their opening day lineup.

The Nimmo boot is a stinger. Despite his reputation apparently cooling among prospect watchers, he may well have moved up the depth chart this offseason with the loss of Nieuwenhuis via waiver claim and the removal of Ceciliani from the roster. A hottish start may have made him the first outfielder called up.
