Mets: Lagares undergoes successful surgery on thumb
Juan Lagares suffered a fractured thumb last week. The team announced Monday he underwent successful surgery
The New York Mets announced outfielder Juan Lagares underwent successful surgery on his thumb at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Lagares is currently on the disabled list and there is no clear timetable for his return after the injury occurred last week.
No injury comes at a good time, but the Mets suffered a rash of them at the worst time. Lagares was getting consistent playing time while Yoenis Cespedes was being protected in his return and Michael Conforto was dealing with a back issue for several days. Prior to that, Lagares was putting together a very productive month.
