"He is expected to undergo imaging to reveal the full extent of the issue, but manager Carlos Mendoza did admit that this is concerning, especially because the right-hander just recently returned from a two-week IL stint for inflammation in that same elbow. He continued to have a hard time recovering after every time he pitched, Mendoza said. [Wednesday] night, we got him hot, and as he was getting loose in the bullpen, we shut him down."
"Entering the season as a middle-relief option that could step in at high-leverage situations, Garrett has struggled to be a reliable option out of the Mets' bullpen. He has a 3.90 ERA with 64 strikeouts and 26 walks in 55.1 innings pitched this season. He turned in three scoreless outings out of a possible four since he returned from his previous IL stint on Sept. 7."
Reed Garrett was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Sept. 15 with a right elbow sprain and is expected to undergo imaging to determine the extent. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed concern because Garrett recently returned from a two-week IL stint for inflammation in the same elbow and continued to have difficulty recovering after each outing. The 15-day designation effectively ends regular-season availability, as the earliest return would be Sept. 30. Postseason availability depends on imaging results, and even a best-case scenario would likely require a shutdown period. Garrett has a 3.90 ERA with 64 strikeouts and 26 walks in 55.1 innings.
