Sympathy Pains (Mets Injury Situation 2023)

Go nuts with individual injury threads. This one serves as a repository for the physical state of the Mets.



We are currently keeping an eye on…



Quintana's rib.

Senga's finger.

Raley's hamstring.

Marte's noggin.

Montes de Oca's forearm.

Peterson's foot.

Ruf's wrist.



Oh, our heart? Or just what happens in the course of a runup to the season?

Re: Sympathy Pains (Mets Injury Situation 2023)

Some combination of Tylor Megill, Eliesor Hernández, and Joey Lucchesi angling for the starting opportunities created by the Quintana/Senga/Peterson crisis.



If the rotation survived the spring intact, Peterson had a good shot of going north as a reliever, so his foot may or may not be triggering jockeying in the bullpen as well.

Sam Coonrod has a high-grade right lat strain, which sounds a) uncomfortable and b) not conducive to pitching for a spell.

Re: Sympathy Pains (Mets Injury Situation 2023)

The numbers game wasn't really conducive to Coonrod making the roster as it was. Rest up and get strong Cooney.

Kenny Loggins just dedicated “Danger Zone” to the Mets' pen.

Re: Sympathy Pains (Mets Injury Situation 2023)

I'm still of the mind that Coonie and MdO weren't likely to make the Opening Day bullpen under any circumstances.



Mets Roster Central — whose staff fired up the hard drives just as soon as they saw Edwin Diaz hobbling — is currently projecting that the team breaks camp with a relief corps of:



  Adam Ottavino

  David Peterson*

  David Robertson

  Brooks Raley*

  Drew Smith

  Stephen Nogosek

  John Curtiss

  Jeff Brigham



Brigham is getting the nod for that last spot as a current occupant of the 40-player roster, but the team currently has a spot on the 40 unoccupied (with the return to Yankeeland of Zach Greene), and another one likely to open up (with what looks like a coming 60-Day Injured List assignment for José Quintana), so lefty T.J. McFarland and righty Tommy Hunter are very much in the picture.

This will be Montes de Oca's second Tommy John surgery. Wondering if we'll ever see his 102 MPH fast ball again?

Re: Sympathy Pains (Mets Injury Situation 2023)

Mets placed RHP Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 27, with a low grade teres major strain.



A surprising development for the Mets with Opening Day just hours away. Verlander, who signed a two-year, $86.66 million contract with the Mets this winter, was previously expected to pitch the second game of the season. Per the team, Verlander will continue throwing at "moderate intensity" and will be rescanned in a week. Until then, it's much too soon to speculate on a timetable on his return. Tylor Megill was Triple-A bound, but now he'll take Verlander's spot in the rotation and start against the Marlins on Saturday. The Mets' pitching depth is being tested early.

If Verlander is supposed to be replacing deGrom, he's off to a pretty accurate impression of deGrom.

Re: Sympathy Pains (Mets Injury Situation 2023)

With the ages of Max Justin Carrasco and even Senga I did not buy into the perceived depth of the SP's. I might buy into a Joe Blitzvic sighting or jinx

I'm glad we have Megill and Peterson. These five guys left are the last five that I have confidence in as starters though. Who's up next, Lucchesi? Yeesh

For now, his Mets history: 2 weeks of ST, disappears to sit on the bench in the WBC, returns for a week, plays in the first week of the season, and disappears for 8 to 9 weeks.
