Bay and Olson Are Doing Fine

 

According to several reports from the Mets clubhouse at Digital Domain, both Garrett Olson (hand) and Jason Bay (forearm) are doing fine this morning.

Olson who was struck in the hand by a batted ball yesterday said he will throw a bullpen today, and Bay who was hit on the forearm by a pitch said his it was just a little sore, but fine.

By the way, Andres Torres hopes to get cleared for running today.

Mets left-hander Garrett Olson was struck by a batted ball on his pitching hand during a Minor League game on Sunday. He suffered a contusion on the palm of his hand and was taken to a local hospital for precautionary X-rays, which were negative.

Olson was a strong contender to make the Mets as a reliever, and it’s not yet clear if this will pose any setback.

He has allowed one run on three hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out three and walking one in seven spring appearances.

Here is a Twitter-cap of the rest of today’s Mets news and notes.
