This is why they say you can never have enough pitching, folks. The Mets are already getting tested with the latest Jose Quintana injury update.
The starting pitcher was recently sidelined with a stress fracture in the fifth rib of his left side. While that prevented him from continuing to ramp up and participate in the World Baseball Classic, we were unsure exactly how long it’d prevent him from pitching for New York again. As it turns out, it’s going to be a while.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets’ current plan is to shut Quintana down from throwing for three months.
