Mets Pitching Prospects Go Down With Injuries

Injuries continue to plague all of the Mets teams with more injury news coming from the farm system as Jenrry Mejia has been placed on the 15-day DL with a strained middle finger retroactive to July 4th.  Originally the Mets thought he would only need a few days, but this is obviously not the case.  Connor Robertson was activated in to fill the roster spot.  I would not worry about Mejia just seems like a ploy by the Mets to limit his inning for the season without publicly saying it.

The biggest and worst news is that RHP Dillon Gee had to undergo surgery to repair a labrum tear as well as Ryan Coultas the 27-year-old in a breakout year as a starter also undergoing labrum tear surgery.  Crushing news for two players who had potential to fill roles in the big league roster has relief pitchers.  Labrum tear surgery is very career threatening surgery that will put both those players at risk of every returning.
