Prior to the 2019 campaign, the New York Mets and their fans thought they executed a steal by inking a two-year deal with All-Star infielder Jed Lowrie. But that was before he caught the injury bug…big time.
Lowrie dealt with a knee injury that caused him to miss nearly his entire first year in Queens, as he finished with just eight plate appearances in nine games. He reported to spring training on Sunday in a leg brace, which may cause a “here we go again” mentality among fans. The 35-year-old didn’t reveal specific details to reporters but ultimately noted that he’s working towards full health.
