"Thankfully, he's coming back after a minimal stint and will start today's game. Reliever Orlando Ribalta has been optioned as the corresponding move for Gore, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com. The Nats aren't playing for much at this part of the schedule but it's nice for the club and for Gore that he's getting back on the mound before the winter kicks in."
"Per Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, the southpaw said afterwards that he wasn't in pain but his arm felt "dead" on the outside of his elbow. He's getting an MRI today. Detmers is having a really good season out of the bullpen. The Halos will have to decide this winter whether to keep him in a relief role or stretch him back out as a starter next year. Perhaps the outcome of this MRI will play a role in that decision."
"Going into the day on September 3rd, the Mets had the final Wild Card spot. The Reds and the Giants were each five games back. Fast forward to today and the Mets still have that final playoff spot but the situation is far less cozy. They have lost five in a row, which has shrunk their lead over the Reds and Giants to just two games, with the Diamondbacks and Cardinals also in the mix."
MacKenzie Gore was placed on the injured list for throwing-shoulder inflammation and is returning after a brief stint, with Orlando Ribalta optioned as the corresponding move. The quick return reduces concern about lingering offseason issues and preserves Gore's trade value as a speculative candidate with two remaining years of club control. Reid Detmers left a game with his arm feeling "dead" on the outside of his elbow and is scheduled for an MRI that could affect whether he remains a reliever or returns to starting. The Mets have lost five straight, narrowing their wild-card lead amid increasing competition.
