I decided to do a little research yesterday after learning Dilson Herrera was heading to the DL.
Not to make any excuses because bad baseball is bad baseball anyway you slice it, and excuses are for losers, but…
The number of players the Mets have lost to the major league disabled list this season is jaw-dropping.
- Dilson Herrera, 2B – Fractured middle finger
- Buddy Carlyle, P – Lower back strain
- Dillon Gee, P – Groin strain
- Rafael Montero, P – Rotator cuff inflammation
- Jerry Blevins, P – Fractured left forearm
- Travis d’Arnaud, C – Fractured right hand
- David Wright, 3B – Right hamstring, sore back
- Cesar Puello, RF – Stress fracture lower back
- Jenrry Mejia, P – Elbow inflammation, PED suspension
- Vic Black, P – Right shoulder weakness
- Josh Edgin, P – Left elbow surgery
- Bobby Parnell, P – Right elbow surgery
- Zack Wheeler, P – Torn ligament, right elbow
According to Man Games Lost, the Mets have lost the third most days to the disabled list this season. The team has lost 193 days to the 15-Day DL and 102 days to the 60-Day DL for a total of 295 days missed as of May 14.
