NEW YORK -- The Mets announced that reliever Trevor May had a stress reaction on the lower portion of the humerus, which caused the right triceps inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list.
"The immediate prescription is for Trevor to discontinue throwing for approximately four weeks and then re-image the area," the Mets said on Wednesday. "At that time, then we will update his plan of care."
The injury will sideline May for a significant chunk of the season, leaving the team without one of their late-inning relievers projected to set up closer Edwin Diaz.
