After losing JD Davis earlier in the week with a left hand contusion after a hit by pitch, the New York Mets received more bad news on the injury front. A bullpen that is already without Seth Lugo, its most important contributor in the last few years, suffered yet another injury blow after it was revealed that Dellin Betances has been placed on the 10-day injury list, according to the Mets’ official site.
The right-hander will be on the shelf for the foreseeable future with a right shoulder impingement. The Mets’ reliever conceded a run on a hit, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch in his season debut on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
