Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Edgy MD Feb 25 2018 04:25 PM

Dominic Smith is suffering from a strained right quad, almost certainly sustained on that dynamite stretch he performed yesterday. He has an MRI (which stands for "a Met is Really Injured") scheduled. Also Juan Lagares: strained lefty hammy, day-to-day. Tim Tebow: sprained ankle, day to day, taking batting practice. Jay Bruce: plantar fasciitis, day to day. Longer-Term Dudes Michael Conforto: dislocated shoulder, aiming for May 1, hitting against soft-toss pitching. T.J. Rivera: torn UCL and Tommy John surgery, aiming for the second half, should begin throwing shortly. David Wright: spinal stenosis, disc fusion surgery, rotator cuff surgery, actively rehabbing, allegedly back to his playing weight, return is anybody's guess.

DocTee Feb 25 2018 05:38 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Bruce: Plantar fasciatis. That's one of those pestering injuries that could really linger. Here's hoping it doesn't.

In the great tradition of Mickey Mantle and Eliott Maddox, Tebow's ankle injury is the result of an unfortunate interaction with a sprinkler head.

Jacob deGrom Injury/Malady: Lower-back stiffness. Current Activity: A "throwing progression" and a minor league contract for A.J. Griffin. Prognosis: Day-to-day. Yoenis Céspedes Injury/Malady: Mild shoulder soreness. Current Activity: Rest. Prognosis: Day-to-day. Dominic Smith Injury/Malady: Strained quad, confirmed by MRI (stands for "Muscle Rip Indicator)." Current Activity: Gradual return to baseball activity. Prognosis: Sounds like at least a week.

the beating goes on... Mets RH reliever Anthony Swarzak left Tuesday's game against the Astros in the top of the third inning due to an apparent injury. Swarzak ran to cover first base on a grounder to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, but was unable to catch what was an on-target toss from Gonzalez that would have ended the inning. Swarzak was then visited by the trainer and departed the game.

Mickey sez JdG needs 5 starts to be ready for OD. Daily Snooze says in order to get 5 starts he needs to begin no later than this Sunday. Sunday's start rests on how his scheduled throwing session goes this week.

Or they can decide he's good to go but they'll limit him to 85 pitches for his first start of the season.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 28 2018 02:34 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

And if deGrom starts the fourth or fifth game of the season instead of the first or second, it's no big deal at all. We just have to hope that this doesn't turn out to be more serious than they're saying. (When has that ever happened?).

Edgy MD Mar 01 2018 03:31 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Supporters of baby farm animals everywhere are outraged this morning, responding to reports of Anthony Swarzak allegedly straining his left calf. This strain has been confirmed by MRI (Maddening Results Inevitable). He is receiving treatment, no timetable for return. But hey! Things are looking up for Jamie Callahan! Boy howdy!

Edgy MD Mar 02 2018 04:39 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

So deGrom got his throwing in, putting him back on schedule for opening day, Mr. Plantar Fasciitis is planted in right for today's lineup, and Lagares is taking his hammies out to center. If they make it through today, things could be looking up. Get Céspequads out of the dh spot and into left once or twice next week, and we might be in business.

Edgy MD Mar 08 2018 12:10 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

There's reportedly some concern that neither Rosario nor Smith will be ready for opening day. It could be like 2010, when vets Mike Jacobs and Gary Matthews, Jr. appeared in the opening day lineup, but cleared out for younger players shortly after. I think Smith has already sunk to darkhorse status for opening day.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 08 2018 12:44 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Yeah I don't like the smell of the Rosario injury. Already writing off Smith to start the year. Let's say Rosario misses 2-3 weeks out of the gate. Who's the starting SS? Guillorme? Reyes? Cabrera?

Benjamin Grimm Mar 08 2018 12:52 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Probably Reyes.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 08 2018 02:36 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Yeah, probably. And he's hit well so far. But I'd like to see Guillorme, perhaps at second base.

Centerfield Mar 08 2018 02:53 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Life is funny. Our young shortstop phenom can't stay on the field because of leg injuries. Good thing we have Jose Reyes.

Ashie62 Mar 08 2018 11:04 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Reyes at SS, Guilorme at 2B. Might be that way for some time. Its not like Rosario has looked all that terrific anyhow.

Edgy MD Mar 08 2018 11:42 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Unless something unexpected happens, the second baseman is going to be Cabrera. Guillorme hasn't even reached AAA yet.

Fman99 Mar 10 2018 02:38 AM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Someone sez Smith is now likely to start the year not ready for the major league roster, due to his quad. I think the writing's been on the wall for this since Yo Adrian got signed. He's got options and hit below the Mendoza line last year, they were jumping at any excuse to get him more "seasoning."

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 11 2018 01:03 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Hey look: Here's another article about the Mets revamping their training and nutrition regimen. I have to say, good luck, but this is such a troubling pattern with them. Every few years (2005, 2010) they seem to admit they were half-assing it the year before and make a show of the new methods designed to prevent last year's calamities from happening this year. Remember when they adorned the clubhouse with the PREVENTON & RECOVERY signs? When their equipment staff was a pharmacy? When they screwed up Church's concussion treatment then made a gigantic show of how much they learned? They finally whacked Ramirez -- he was hired in 2005 after the Reyes-needs-to-learn-how-to run fiasco -- but still employ a controversial strength trainer. I feel like, baseball players guys are world-class athletes, and it ought to be an article of faith that the club is doing right by their training but it's always something. They seem incapable of balancing fitness and pushing-the-envelope training. Anyway, meet the new nutritionist: is a firefighter you might recognize from your paper towel packaging. Another high-profile Michigan person, making me think this is a Jeff-Barwis thing: [youtube]rxK_6k84jcs[/youtube]

Edgy MD Mar 11 2018 01:25 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Yeah, I'm sure there are new minds in the front office offering a wholistic and systemic approach, and that's great, but whacking Ramirez while (a) promoting his longtime assistant, and (b) retaining Barwis did not fluff my cahnfidence.

The latest... Yo with a sore wrist he kept quiet for a few games, in keeping with Ray Ramirez's evergreen advice. Dom's quad not seeing game action yet. Anthony Swarzak is still a thing. David Wright fades further into the cornfield with shoulder and back issues. Refraining from baseball activities for eight weeks. Advised to turn in his revolver and take that desk job, but he still has criminals to nab.

Nymr83 Mar 13 2018 06:05 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Is there anyone who thinks Wright plays ever again? I'm not saying he should walk away or anything like that because he has a lot of money guaranteed to him and deserves to collect it but it would be nice of him the Mets and the insurance company could just figure stuff out without continuing the rehab charade and the use of a 40 man spot

Edgy MD Mar 13 2018 06:08 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

I think he'll play again.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 13 2018 06:11 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

I don't. I truly admire his tenacity, but I'd have to think the chances of him being able to play in a major league game are awfully slim.

Jaosn Vargas Injury/Malady: Non-Displaced Fracture, Non-Pitching Hand Current Activity: Working out, not using the hand Prognosis: Two to six weeks, depending on whether he opts for surgery, which is indeed an option So the Wheeler/Matz competition ends where most competitions for the back end of the rotation seem to end.

Vic Sage Mar 18 2018 03:42 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

these things always seem to sort themselves out (usually due to injury). That's why i'm never concerned about having "too many starters". A surplus is rarely a problem; most often, its the lack from which a team will suffer.

Ashie62 Mar 18 2018 05:12 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Benjamin Grimm Mar 19 2018 05:26 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Vargas having the surgery tomorrow. They're going to remove the fractured bone. Newsday wrote: Mets lefthander Jason Vargas will have surgery Tuesday to remove a fractured bone from his right hand, the team announced Sunday night. Removal of the small bone is the usual treatment for the injury. Vargas will begin throwing again about five days later, though it’s not clear how much of the regular season he might miss. The Mets don’t need a fifth starter until April 4, 15 days after Vargas’ operation.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 19 2018 05:48 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

I'm no doctor, but that seems like a pretty large bone to simply remove. Does someone who's given up this bone notice that it's missing? It's a good thing it's not on his pitching hand. I wonder if they would have taken a different approach if it was?

Ceetar Mar 19 2018 05:51 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

I think they just remove the broken off fragment.

41Forever Mar 19 2018 06:21 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Frayed Knot Mar 19 2018 06:53 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

He won't be the first guy to play minus his hamate bone. It's a common baseball injury. Whenever there's a hand surgery the pesky little hamate seems to be the culprit.

A Boy Named Seo Mar 19 2018 08:26 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Sounds like he might not miss any time. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/03/ ... -mets.html Even though Mets left-hander Jason Vargas will undergo surgery on his right hand Tuesday, he might not miss any regular-season time, Tim Britton of The Athletic tweets. It’s not as if the soft-tossing Vargas is going to have to regain lost velocity, manager Mickey Callaway noted – “It’s not going to be too hard to go back and get his 84 again,” he said – while GM Sandy Alderson essentially expressed no concern over the situation. “If he can catch the ball coming back from the catcher, he’s probably good to go,” Alderson offered.

G-Fafif Mar 22 2018 04:29 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

All the time Vargas isn't missing Montero is. As alluded to in his Expectations thread, Rafael has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his pitching elbow and will likely require TJS.

A Boy Named Seo Mar 22 2018 04:31 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Wild timing. The decision on what to do with him gets made, and the Mets no longer risk losing him and can see what they have in 12-18 months, I guess.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 22 2018 04:32 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

So he likely won't pitch again until late in 2019 at the earliest. If he remains a Met, he'll be on the 60-day DL during the course of the 2018 and 2019 seasons, but if I understand correctly, he'd take up a 40-man roster spot during the off-season?

Ashie62 Mar 22 2018 04:56 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

He has one option left. Is Montero worth a 40 man spot?

You can't remove an injured guy from the 40 anyhow. The book closes on him for 2018, but he'll remain on the roster.

Edgy MD Mar 22 2018 06:44 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

It doesn't really remove him from the 40. It just keeps him from counting against the 40-man limit. For all other purposes, he's a man on the 40, with all rights and privileges, only moreso.

Jason Vargas is in the Emergency Room. With a stomach virus. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseb ... -1.3892588

Fman99 Apr 03 2018 12:38 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Swarzak to the DL with an oblique strain, Robles up.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2018 12:44 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Great.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2018 07:07 PM Re: Travis' UCL (split from Trainer's Room)

Vargas went four innings for Vegas Monday eve, allowing three runs, which is better than more than a few pitchers for the 51s this season. All the runs came in the third. He's rejoining the Mets tonight and is expected to be activated and take the start Saturday.

G-Fafif Apr 25 2018 10:55 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Asdrubal not starting tonight because a hamstring is barking. Woof.

Edgy MD May 27 2018 10:44 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Wilmer returning to New York to be examined for lower back soreness. #BarwisMethods

bmfc1 May 28 2018 01:29 AM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Apparently, Robles is with the team and will be activated on Monday. I really don't care if he's healthy and there is a lack of healthy pitchers, there is no way that Robles should ever pitch again for the Mets. I would rather have Doug Sisk pitch for this team and I don't mean Sisk from 1984 I mean now and he's 60.

Nymr83 May 28 2018 02:00 AM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Ramos getting his shoulder looked at, hopefully they find an explanation beyond "he sucks"

Edgy MD Jun 13 2018 01:47 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

This morning I suddenly remembered the Mets have a guy at AA named Yoenis Céspedes. He's 2-4 in two games so far with both of his hits being doubles. He's only played two innings in the outfield thus far.

Ashie62 Jun 13 2018 02:29 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

I hear he likes it in Binghamton though

Ashie62 Jun 18 2018 09:13 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Any new updates on Thor or Cespedes? Rest? 60 day DL?

cooby Jun 19 2018 12:19 AM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

They are both on my fantasy team. I’m sick of them both

Bruce. Back. Day to day as of now but talk of DL.

I'm having a tough time being positive about Nimmo's hand. I'm trying to get past it by finding a way to love Kevin Kaczmarski, but I'm not there yet.

Ashie62 Jun 25 2018 03:59 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Nimmo MRI OK, termed day-to-day. Take that as you will.

Edgy MD Jun 25 2018 08:39 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

With any luck, we'll have the smilingest pinch-runner in the division.

MFS62 Jul 05 2018 11:44 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

TJ Rivera off the DL and at DH for St. Lucie tonight. Heal fast, Homey! Later

Edgy MD Jul 10 2018 03:52 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Jason Vargas was clearly beyond the simple and lowly skills of the New York/Penn League, throwing six shutout innings for The Cyclones against The Staten Island Yankees, giving up a lone single while walking none and striking out nine. The Clones offense and pen were happy to help prepare him for his return to the Mets by giving him just a 1-0 lead to depart with and then blowing it in the bullpen, losing 2-1. It was something of a reverse of the previous day, a 2-1 victory over the Yankees also featuring another encouraging start by a rehabbing Mets pitcher, with Noah Syndergaard going five innings, giving up one run on two hits, walking one, and striking out seven.

G-Fafif Jul 10 2018 08:29 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Syndergaard on track to start Friday night vs. Nats should his Wednesday bullpen go well. Bruce's hip had a setback (it realized it was attached to Bruce). Jay will be shut down for ten days.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 10 2018 08:33 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Any slim hope of trading Jay Bruce before July 31 is becoming even slimmer.

Edgy MD Jul 11 2018 01:10 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Well, he could be traded for somebody else's he-has-two-years.

Centerfield Jul 11 2018 02:16 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Bruce can be traded until August 31. Not a chance in the world he wouldn't clear waivers.

Centerfield Jul 11 2018 02:50 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

In the end I feel like we are going to be stuck with him. Even if he gets back and starts producing, I don't see any team taking on his salary for the remaining 2 years based on just a few good weeks. I guess we can hope that he kills it for the entire second half, but even then with all the talent available in the offseason I don't see anyone taking him on. Part of what makes it difficult to contend in 2019 is the money already committed to Bruce, Vargas and Anthony Swarzak.

But why is Schefter tweeting "stick to basketball?"

Edgy MD Jul 23 2018 07:46 PM Re: Trainer's Room: Injuries in 2018

Hidden upside: Publickly reporting that Syndergaard has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can only help to ease up his jammed social schedule. It'll certainly dry up his opportunities in the food service and med tech industries.
