There’s a saying in baseball that taking part in time tends to work itself out. That seems to be the case in heart discipline with Tyrone Taylor occurring the injured listing.
The Mets positioned the middle fielder on the 10-day IL on Tuesday, retroactive to August. 30, with a left hamstring pressure. Cedric Mullins had been the odd man out after Taylor’s bat acquired scorching in mid-August, and Jose Siri is at the moment working his means again to motion on a rehab task with Triple-A Syracuse.
It’s unclear how lengthy Taylor might be out. The Mets had been hoping to keep away from an IL stint for his or her greatest outfield defender, however after taking part in with a brief bench for the final two video games, they made the roster transfer.
Jared Younger was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
“We didn’t want to push it and put him at risk,” supervisor Carlos Mendoza instructed reporters in Detroit on Tuesday. “We just decided to kinda slow this thing down and put him on the IL. Hopefully, it’s not for too long.”
Heart Fielder/infielder Luisangel Acuña was known as up Monday when rosters expanded. The Mets can use him in heart if want be, and Younger can play left discipline if Brandon Nimmo wants a break, as can Starling Marte, so the Mets are coated within the outfield.
Taylor had fallen out of favor after the Mets traded for Mullins on the deadline. An elite defender, the Mets wanted extra offense within the lineup and Taylor wasn’t offering it in July when he hit simply .104 with a .157 OBP. However some competitors has been good for Taylor. Over his final 10 video games, he hit .423 with 1.077 OPS, offering a spark on the backside of the order, permitting the Mets to show it over and drive pitchers to face Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto with additional outs.
Jesse Winker was shut down from baseball actions on his rehab task and won’t return this season. The outfielder/DH was restricted to solely 26 video games this season, happening in Might with an indirect pressure, then with a lower-back situation in July. His return was temporary, solely three at-bats in Baltimore proper earlier than the All-Star break. The Mets did what they may to get him wholesome once more, however again points have plagued Winker all through his profession and he wasn’t capable of get well after taking part in in rehab video games.
He was signed to play a left-handed DH function, and the Mets haven’t had a lot of 1 with out him.
“We miss that bat,” Mendoza stated. “Jared Young has gotten some opportunities, he’s back here on the roster. Guys will continue to step up and get opportunities. At this point, it sucks for Wink, but we’ve got to get him right.”
ROTATION QUESTIONS
The Mets haven’t but selected a rotation for his or her weekend sequence towards the Cincinnati Reds. The second leg of a three-city journey, left-hander David Peterson will possible begin the sequence Friday, and Jonah Tong may get one other flip by means of the rotation Saturday. Struggling starters Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga haven’t been dominated out for his or her subsequent flip, however the Mets haven’t dedicated to conserving them within the rotation both.
