In a concerning turn of events for the New York Mets, both of their left-handed relievers, Danny Young and A.J. Minter, have been sidelined with injuries potentially severe enough to end their seasons. Young has a sprained left elbow and may require Tommy John surgery, while Minter is considering surgery for a torn left lat. With no left-handed options currently in the bullpen, the Mets face significant challenges ahead, particularly given bad timing regarding these injuries. Manager Carlos Mendoza and Young emphasize the urgency and gravity of the situation, hoping to explore all possible remedies.
In less than a week, the Mets have lost both of their lefthanded relievers - perhaps for the season.
That's about as bad timing as you can get, it's unfortunate. Obviously, Mint was a big piece for us.
A sprain is a stretching or tearing of a ligament. Severe sprains in the elbow typically require major surgery.
You never really want to assume the worst, but it's real early. We're going to try everything we can.
