JONATHON NIESE RUMORS
Player Profile: Jonathan Niese
Jon Niese has become an above-average major league pitcher and was considered the ace of the Mets until Matt Harvey exploded onto the scene. The lefty started Opening Day at Citi Field in 2013, earning a W against the Padres.

Daniel Murphy had four hits and Jon Niese pitched a gem as the New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 to salvage the final game of the series and avoid the four-game sweep.

Mets' Jon Niese pitching through neck injury
Entering the season, the New York Mets expected left-handed starting pitcher Jonathon Niese to help fill the shoes of departed ace R.A. Dickey. However, after a strong Opening Day start it's been mostly downhill for Niese. While the lack of productivity has been puzzling, one Mets source told Andy Martino of The New York Daily News that Niese is dealing with a neck issue.

Mets Need Niese To Be The Pitcher They Thought They Were Getting
Including this weekend’s 11-2 flameout loss to Pittsburgh, the Mets have lost Jon Niese’s last five starts, with him giving up 22 runs and not getting out of the fifth inning in three of them.

Niese’s Struggles Continue; Mets Have Lost His Last Four Starts
There will be days like today, where the meltdown is complete in all phases, beginning with Jon Niese’s inability to get hitters out, an offense offering little resistance to Tim Hudson, and a porous defense.
NIESE: Didn’t have it. (AP)
It’s not alarming the Mets couldn’t do anything to Hudson, but what should be a source of concern is Niese, who was hit hard in his fourth...
Jon Niese Hoping For The Best After Ankle Injury
It is the morning after and the Mets will hopefully know more about Jon Niese’s injured right ankle. Niese was knocked from Tuesday night’s 7-2 loss to the Dodgers in the third inning after being struck by a hard comebacker off the bat of Mark Ellis.
Niese fell to the ground and had to be helped off the field. X-Rays were negative and he was diagnosed with a bruise.
NIESE: Will...
