The Mets literally caught two bad breaks this past Sunday, with Travis d’Arnaud knocked out of action for at least three weeks due to a broken pinky and Jerry Blevins on the shelf for at least six weeks after suffering a broken forearm. Unlike prior years, though, the Mets have the depth and upside needed to overcome these injuries.
The injury bug started to bite the Mets in Spring Training, when both Zack Wheeler and Josh Edgin were determined to be in need of season-ending Tommy John surgery.
