Mets OF Kevin Pillar hits IL following scary HBP

Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar is set to join a long list of Mets players on the injured list.

After taking a 95 mile-per-hour fastball to the face in Monday night’s win over Atlanta — a frightening scene — Pillar will hit the injured list with multiple face fractures, according to Tim Healey of Newsday.

Mets transactions:

* Kevin Pillar to the IL with multiple facial fractures.

* Infielder Wilfredo Tovar called up from Triple-A Syracuse.

* Catcher Deivy Grullon designated for assignment.
