Luis Robert Jr. Injury Update: Mets Await MRI Results

0:00It's April 29th. This is New York Metz News Today, your AI-powered team coverage. Metz Outfielder Luis Robert Jr. might land on the injured list after an MRI checks out his tight lower back. The 28-year-old first felt discomfort five days ago, and the team is holding off on big decisions until those results come in. Earlier this week, he got tested on Wednesday, shifting from day-to-day status. He has now missed three straight games, including Tuesday's after-treatment, did not help much against the nationals. Manager Carlos Mendoza has been real cautious with Robert this season. His first in New York. They eased him into spring training to build leg strength, and gave him rest days early on, skipping starts five times in the first 26 games. All to Dodge injuries. Robert has hit the injured list nine times over seven big league years, so this hits hard despite the Metz efforts. His hot star faded quick, dropping from a 0.922 OPS in the first 12 games, to batting

1:01224 overall in 24 games. The team is crossing fingers for a quick fix, doing all they can to get him back swinging soon, but for now, they wait on that MRI to map the next move.
