WASHINGTON – AJ MINTER felt the oppression in his left triceps a launch or two before the one forced him from the mound in the eighth entrance of Saturday.
The reliever goes to a magnetic resonance exam and will probably be placed in the list of injured, said the manager of the METS, Carlos Mendoza, after the 2-0 victory over the nationals.
MINTER, who has launched an effectiveness of 1.64 in 13 appearances this season, is the main option of team left -hander of the team.
“I am slippery, it was my elbow,” MINTER said. “But see you likely in a period of Il, I just hope I can come to fix this and continue to help the team.”
Among the possibilities of replacing Minder is Deniel Núñez, who has spent the first month of the season in Triple-A Syracuse after starting late in spring training.
Danny Young, the second left -handed in the Bullpen of the Mets, has given the team a scolding impulse, with seven appearances in its last eight in which a won race has been delivered.
Young struck out three batters to keep the national score at sixth entrance on Saturday.
In the need for a starting pitcher for the next series at home, or ate an arm to potentially launch behind a first game, the Mets lean towards an officer within their organization.
Brandon Waddell, a 30 -year -old left -hander, is the main candidate who is inserted in the rotation for Wednesday’s game against Diamondbacks in Citi Field, according to the sources.
The sixth opener is needed since the Mets seek to keep Kodai Senga with an additional rest duration in this section of 13 games without a programmed free day.
The most recently appearance cardinals of Waddell’s major leagues in 2021. This season has launched an effectiveness of 1.54 in five openings for triple-A Syracuse.
The Mets on their most recent road trip used Justin Hagenman as a sixth “holder”, the right launched 3 entries of 3 ¹ behind Huascar Brazobán, who was used as a first game against the twins.
Another potential candidate for Wednesday’s launch allocation, the main prospect Brandon Sproat, is starting with Syracuse. The right has launched to an effectiveness of 5.79 in five outputs and has had problems in its most recent beginning on Thursday. Team officials have not shown any inclination to push Sproat to the big leagues.
Jeff McNeil began in the central garden for the third time in his career when Mendoza inserted Luisangel Acuña in the alignment in the second base.
McNeil, who began twice in the center in 2023, became familiar with the position that turned his allowance of minor leagues.
Mendoza said he prefers to keep Brandon Nimmo in the left garden (at least for now) instead of moving him to the central garden due to the discomfort of the knee that was a problem for him the spring training.
