They could be toying with the 10-day DL, too, though.

 

But if you head over to Mets Refugees, I'm sure they've heard something similar about 30 times. Lat strains are often thought to be minor when that turns out not to be the case, and those things can linger, too.

Mets ace Noah Syndergaard suffered a lat strain in 2017. He began his rehab assignment roughly five months after being placed on the disabled list. Other pitchers to deal with the injury include Jake Peavy, Roy Halladay, Kerry Wood, Stephen Strasburg, Trevor Rosenthal and Huston Street.

 

Did they mention inflammation in his shoulder or something? How do you go from a pitcher complaining about shoulder pain to a lat strain? That's weird.

 

Syndergaard tore his lat muscle IIRC so that's why he missed so much time, but you are correct about how tricky lat injuries can be.

Yeah. I didn't mean to compare it to Syndergaard, but was only meaning to show that lat injuries aren't good and a lot of pitchers that break down have suffered lat injuries. And it's a hard thing to diagnose correctly. It often ends up worse than imagined.

Indeed. I remember Kerry Wood's lat injury lasted for awhile. It seemed to just never go away or get better.

Since SNL just ended and I'm 34 so life is hollow now...

 

Taking Mets scheduled days off after games in Miami, limiting it to '16-'17 because Harvey wasn't bad until then, and Collins was fired, eliminating 2nd half of 2016 because he was on DL, and eliminating April of 2017 because he was off to a good start, I've got it at 9-22-17. (Harvey's start in the Miami series was 4 IP, 12 H, 7 R, 2/2.)

 

Vet Mets still around then:

 

Jose Reyes

Asdrubal Cabrera

Nori Aoki(joined the team in September)

Jerry Blevins

 

I guess it could be somebody like DeGrom, but that doesn't seem to be what the quote is getting at. I guess Reyes or Blevins?

Was David weight traveling with the team at that point?

Adam Wainwright is likely heading back to the disabled list after leaving Sunday's start in the third inning due to renewed pain in his elbow.

 

His return from the disabled list on Sunday was disastrous, allowing two runs on three hits while issuing six free passes in just 2 1/3 innings. Wainwright admitted afterwards that he didn't have a good feel for his pitches and his velocity was noticeably down. What little fantasy value that he had remaining is quickly disappearing.

Lol Wainwright had fantasy value is the best part of this rotowire update. It's an upgrade for them if he's out.

Roberts had a comment the other day that this was the worst he’s ever seen Hill’s blister issue and now he’s out playing catch a few days later????

Can we put an end to this 'Pee on your hands to toughen them up' non-sense?

I’ve accidentally pissed on my hands a few times, and yet my skin is still velvety smooth. Am I doing something wrong??

 

Yes, you’re pissing on your hands

I just looked through on Gameday, and Clayton Kershaw only touched 90 MPH once during his start tonight. And that pitch was exactly 90.0. He'll get some velo back as he gets further away from his DL stint, but he's probably more All-Star than Cy Young going forward.
