Originally went on the DL with back soreness. It was reported by Toscano that he was progressing faster than expected and would be ready May 29 when he was due to come off the DL
However, he has a long history of back problems so I think Mets are just being cautious by push g his return to after the Break.
Once the pen got healthy Hunter moved down to like 11th or 12th on the pecking order. As it is we have a 9 man pen and Reid Foley, who was lights out in the majors and in AAA, is in Syracuse. Y Diaz is also on the 40 and has pitched well. Vizcaino and Nogosef are also options in AAA.
There just is no room for Hunter. So rather than DFA him, we moved him to the 60 day IL to clear up a spot that way.
Nah, your take is a weird one. So, your opinion is that the Mets know the “real” situation and diagnosis all along, disseminate different information control the narrative, only to eventually release the accurate information that will make the look like a clown show anyway?
That’s a bit hard to imagine. The much more believable reason is that their doctors misdiagnosed the issue, forcing them to get a second opinion and finally diagnose the injury correctly. Much like we’ve seen many times with this team...hence the “Mets doctors are dysfunctional” complaint, and rightly so.
But super nice to hear about your irrelevant Twitter connection. You’ve really nailed down that “contrarian Mets fan” role. Good for you, champ.
who are you again?
That’s the direction you decided to go in? Lol, okay.

Already been a long time but this pushes back return to a best case scenario of August.
You know, I wonder if Cookie’s got some lingering impact from his cancer treatment that makes body repair for soft tissue move a bit slower. Hopefully the PRP helps. I would absolutely sign up for early August here.
No one in the world threw more than what, 80-90 innings last year (including playoffs, I’m sure most Mets were 60 innings or lower). Every team is going to be moving people in and out, resting, skipping starts.
Getting Carrasco and Thor back at some point in the second half would be a huge boost.
I think he's literally pushing the boundaries of what the human body is capable of and it's taking its toll.
With that said...if he can make 20 more starts..
For "fun" I just ran some numbers and put Jakes worst 20 starts of the last 3 years on top of his 10 starts this year... And if he was that terrible (about a 5 ERA)..he'd still finish the year at around 3.20 with a 1 WHIP...
That just puts it in some perspective how amazing he's been

I never expected Carrasco to make 30 or even 25 starts. No way after going through chemo. That’s why Indians were willing to include him. They wanted to dump the salary
If he comes back and makes 10-12 quality starts that will be great. At this point that’s all we really need

deGrom did undergo an MRI this morning, just to be cautious. "It came out clean," manager Luis Rojas said. "It was the same diagnosis [right flexor tendinitis] that we got yesterday."
All parties still expect deGrom to make his next start as scheduled.

We need to keep him healthy and manage his innings this season

My hope has been adjusted and I now only want them back in the postseason.
Even just getting them back for October could mean the difference between “contenders” and “favorites” in the postseason.

But will Conforto get a multi year offer from Mets?

Conforto > McKinney, but you have to wonder if McKinney might be a better player than Nimmo.

I’m fairly certain, Sanduy was goi h to let Thor walk. Might get to
Keep him now—at least for s year
