The Mets are starting the season without last year's ace, Sean Manaea, who has been sidelined due to an oblique strain. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Manaea will be shut down from throwing for at least a couple of weeks following an MRI. The injury necessitates a full buildup once he returns, pushing his potential return to mid-to-late April. This development comes shortly after Frankie Montas was also ruled out due to a lat strain, testing the Mets' pitching depth early in the season.
Manaea's oblique strain means he will miss the start of the Mets' season, which requires a full buildup once he resumes throwing after a couple of weeks.
Mendoza expressed disappointment over losing two starting pitchers early in camp, highlighting the importance of depth in the team to cope with injuries.
