CHICAGO -- Buddy Carlyle, whose lower back injury affected him to such an extent that he needed help walking down Wrigley Field's dugout stairs following Monday's game, could be the latest Mets reliever headed to the disabled list.
Manager Terry Collins said the Mets planned to reevaluate Carlyle on Wednesday, at which point they may DL him and call up a reliever -- most likely left-hander Jack Leathersich, who is already on the 40-man roster, though right-handers Chasen Bradford and Zack Thornton are also under consideration.
If Carlyle does land on the DL, he will join Bobby Parnell, Vic Black, Jerry Blevins, Josh Edgin and Rafael Montero, all of whom are already there.
