Injuries beginning to mount? Mike Pelfrey has now joined Jason Bay on the DL.
The New York Mets seem to be stuck in a hole they can’t dig themselves out of. This is mostly due to three injuries in the past 48 hours and players who aren’t living up to their potential.
Starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey’s latest injury may be the biggest blow to the Mets. It looks like he’s headed for Tommy John surgery. Adam Rubin is reporting that Pelfrey has a partial UCL tear but the Mets have so far been denying any actual evidence of a tear. Partial or full tear, the big man may be done for the year. Pelfrey said he threw long toss after the game in which he had discomfort and felt fine. However, if the injury does exist, once you turn it up in a game it may rip. He said he was feeling the pain when not throwing. This is not good at all if he’s down for any length of time, especially with him looking like he figured out the problems with his sinker.
The Mets will lose 200 innings which is big, whe...

Is This the End of Mike Pelfrey’s Tenure with the Mets?

As it is looking more and more like a certainty that Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2012 season, it is time to wonder if the start that Pelfrey made on April 21 was the last time that we will see him in a New York Mets uniform.
It seemed as if Pelfrey had figured things out through the early part of the year. He looked good in his first three...

Just as soon as the Mets put Jason Bay (ribs) and Mike Pelfrey (elbow) on the disabled list, the Mets go ahead and win two straight games over the Miami Marlins while also ruining the Jose Reyes homecoming in the process.
Everything is right in the world, correct?
Not so fast.

Bay Placed On DL, Lutz Recalled - Ike To Be Platooned?
Via Long Island Met Fan

April 24, 2012
It was announced earlier this afternoon that Jason Bay suffered a non-displaced fracture of his rib. Lutz, who was recalled from Buffalo can be used as a 3B or 1B.
Chances of Lutz seeing the Hot Corner are slim, so makes one wonder if this means that Fearless Ike, after a dreadful start, might be put into a platoon situation with Lutz.

Mets put RHP Pelfrey, LF Bay on disabled list
The New York Mets have put starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey and left fielder Jason Bay on the 15-day disabled list.
The Mets made the moves before Tuesday night's game against Miami.
Pelfrey is sidelined with inflammation in his right elbow. But Mets general manager Sandy Alderson says the team hasn't ruled out a torn ligament, and says Pelfrey will get a second opinion.

Jason Bay to 15 day DL.
Jason Bay cracked a rib on his left side in last night's game 2 diving for a ball he couldn't keep in his glove. Jason looked banged up on the lack of play but smoked a single up the middle in his next AB. The swing was one of the best Mets Blob has ever seen Jason put on a ball. The Blob knows that's not saying much. Well, for those of us who...

Earlier today, the Mets placed left fielder Jason Bay on the 15-day DL. The hits keep on coming, as the team has also placed starter Mike Pelfrey on the DL with swelling in his right elbow.
