This week’s pitching meter can pretty much be summed up with:
Injuries have struck the Mets in earnest now. We have learned that AJ Minter is out for the year and this week Danny Young got Tommy John surgery and will also miss the season. The Mets are now without a reliable left-handed reliever and have cycled pitchers up and down from the minor leagues to help fill out their six-man rotation in the absence of off days. It has not gone particularly well.
