According to Kristie Ackert of The Daily News, Dana Eveland will miss the rest of the season. An MRI showed lots of inflammation in his elbow but no structural damage. Eveland will rest and then be reevaluated.
Eveland has been solid for the Mets this year, appearing in 27.1 innings and posting a 2.63 ERA. He has been used as both an inning guy and as a lefty specialist. Ironically, he was better against right handed hitters, holding them to a .216 batting average.
Original Story (9/11/14)
After the Mets 6-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday night, Terry Collins announced that catcher Travis d’Arnaud was removed from the game early because he was suffering from a sore wrist. Collins wouldn’t discuss the extent of the injury.
D’Arnaud was removed in the fifth inning and was replaced by Anthony Recker, who would hit a solo homer for the Mets’ first run of the game.
Daniel Murphy was also removed from the game after he was hit in the left wrist by a pitch from Matt Thornton in the eighth inning. X-rays were negative, but his swelling and bruising looked pretty bad. For now they’re calling it a contusion, and he had his wrist and forearm wrapped.
We’ll have more on both of these injuries after they are examined by team doctors in the morning.
