Alex Cora will miss the remainder of the year as he will have surgery to repair torn ligaments in both his thumbs.
Yeah, Cora had been playing with torn ligaments in not just one, but both his thumbs.
Crazy.
First up for surgery, his right thumb. Followed five weeks later by his left thumb.
Wilson Valdez was pulled from the Triple-A Bisons game in anticipation of a call-up.
Cora was a good bench signing who was forced into a major role due to the Mets injuries this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing him back with the Mets, purely as a guy off the bench.
