The conference call is over and two players are out of commission but still with the team (relayed by David Lennon and Adam Rubin).
J.J. Putz has a bone spur in his right elbow, shown on an MRI on Wednesday. Putz received an anti-inflammatory shot and will not be available for two days.
Carlos Delgado will not go on the DL, at least not yet. The Mets will wait a few more days to see if a DL stint is needed. Lennon quotes it as an “impingement” which may also be around a slight tear or bone spur.
The Mets will be playing with a short bench and a short bullpen going into a very tough series against the surprising San Francisco Giants.
They are essentially a 23-man team right now. That can’t bode well.
