Injuries are starting to stack up already for the New York Mets. Word came down Monday afternoon that staff ace Sean Manaea could miss the start of the season with a right oblique strain, putting a major snag in the Mets starting rotation for 2025.
"Nothing
got any better, didn't get worse, it kind of plateaued. The worst part
is it just never got any better," Manaea told reporters Monday.
According to Manager Carlos Mendoza, Manaea's injury was something that had bothered the veteran lefty since camp started last week.
"He kept throwing live in the bullpen," Mendoza said. "It got to the point where we thought it would turn the corner, but it wasn't the case. The good news is the tendon is not involved, and the rib cage is not involved. It's just muscle. So he will be shut down for a couple weeks."
The injury to Manaea isn't the only thing worrying the Mets right now. Infielder Nick Madrigal, whom New York signed as a possible replacement for free agent Jose Iglesias, suffered a fracture in his shoulder that could keep him out long-term.
