Mets’ Bullpen Takes Hit As Familia Lands On Injured List

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Jeurys Familia hasn’t been very effective in his return to the New York Mets. Now he won’t be available for a while, either.

The struggling reliever was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday because of a sore right shoulder, one day after blowing a save chance against Cincinnati. Familia coughed up a two-run lead in the ninth inning Tuesday night and informed the Mets his shoulder was bothering him the following morning, manager Mickey Callaway said.

The right-hander had an MRI that came back “fairly clean,” according to Callaway, and was given a cortisone injection.
