According to a report from Betsy Helfand of the Review Journal, top prospect Amed Rosario has been dealing with a stomach illness and has been hospitalized in Memphis.
Earlier in the week, Mets general manager said that the reason Rosario had missed time was due to a bruised index finger, but it seems that the stomach issue is what the big problem is.
However, Helfand said Rosario is feeling better today and will update his status after the 51s play today.
Original report – July 21
