NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The New York Mets sent pitcher Michael Wacha to the injured list because of right shoulder inflammation three starts into his one-year contract with the team.
Manager Luis Rojas said before Sunday’s game with the Miami Marlins that Wacha felt pain in his shoulder after allowing four runs in five innings on Friday.
Wacha is 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA this season. He pitched five innings of one-run ball in his debut July 27 in Boston, but has allowed nine runs over nine innings in his past two starts.
