Mets' Injury Woes Continue: Robert on IL

0:00On April 30th, the New York Mets keep piling on the misery this season. After snapping a 12-game losing streak, their longest in 22 years, they got swept at home by the Colorado Rockies and crushed by the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Now, they've slapped another starter, Luis Robert Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar disc herniation. Robert, who's 28, have been dealing with back pain for days and got an MRI on Wednesday. He last played on April 26th, so they backdated the move to April 27th. Acquired from the Chicago White Sox in the offseason, he started hot with a 258 average, but cooled off to 224 before going. Down. This hits hard as Robert joins Francisco Lindoor, Jorge Palanco, and Codai Senga on the shelf. The Mets called up Eric Wageman from Shribble A to take his spot, leaving centerfield to Tyrone Taylor and Rookie Carson Benj. Not the firepower manager Carlos Mendoza needs with the team sitting at 10 wins and 20 losses, the worst record in baseball.

1:04Health has dog-drobered forever. He's only topped 110 games once, back in his breakout 2023 with Chicago, where he smashed. 38 homers and stole 20 bags. Fans are fuming and Mendoza's seat is scorching after this brutal start. Meanwhile, the Mets limp into their next series, desperate for any spark, hoping these injuries don't bury them deeper in the stand. That wraps New York Mets News today, brought to you with AI.
