John Maine is going to the DL. Jerry Manuel said he didn’t have a setback, but could use more time. The Mets needed an extra bullpen arm anyway because Billy Wagner is injured and unavailable. Wagner has a stiff forearm and will be examined in New York.Looks like the wheels are coming off this season in a hurry. Injuries are starting to pile up and the offense has started to look flat.
The Mets need a run of a few wins here before things get worse.
Rubin also notes that Eddie Kunz could close today if needed.
