Mets' Injury Woes Deepen with Robert's Back Issue

0:00On April 30th, the New York Mets are having a nightmare. April, sitting at 10 wins and 19 losses as of Wednesday, tied with the Philadelphia. Philly's for the worst record in Major League Baseball. That's brutal for a squad rocking the league's second highest payroll, turning high expectations into straight disappointment. Entries have piled up, making any comeback feel impossible right now. Juan Soto sat out weeks with a calf strain, Francisco Lindor looks headed for a long absence with the same issue, and Jorge Polonco's already on the shelf, gutting their everyday lineup. Fans and the front office are reeling, knowing this injury wave hits a team already scrambling for traction. Manager Carlos Mendoza called it out ahead of their nationals game, stressing how these setbacks crushed momentum when you're dead last. Now the latest blow, Outfielder Lewis-Robert Jr. has been played since Sunday due to lower back tightness. In Dosa said he barely improved overnight, so an MRI is next, and an injured list trip feels likely.

1:00Robert's battled nagging issues his whole career, but even his early stats, a 0.224 average, 0.327 on base, and 0.6. Five-six OPS through 24 games make him vital over the bench guys. The Mets are crossing fingers that MRI brings good news, or this rough road just got a whole lot longer. That wraps New York Mets News today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with The Story.
