Overview

  • MRI results showed a small loose body in Manaea’s left elbow, prompting a cortisone injection and a 48- to 72-hour shutdown from throwing.
  • The team has yet to decide if post-season surgery will be needed, but medical staff believe he can pitch through the issue without risking ligament damage.
  • Veteran right-hander Frankie Montas was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and made his Mets debut on Tuesday after recovering from a right lat strain.
  • Designated hitter Jesse Winker is slated to begin a minor-league rehab assignment by the end of the weekend following a right oblique strain suffered in early May.
  • The Mets have nine pitchers on the injured list and have dropped nine of their last ten games, leaving them 1.5 games behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East.
