Rubin: Green could be headed to DL, Valdes could get call [Updated]
Update – 11:50 a.m.: Clint Everts has been DFA’d to make room for Valdes on the 40-man roster.
Update – 10:45 a.m.: It’s official. Green to DL, Valdes called up.
Sean Green, who according to a team source, has been dealing with a torn muscle in his rib cage, could be heading to the disabled lists, writes Adam Rubin. He notes that left-hander Raul Valdes, who is on loan from the Mexican League, could get the call to replace Green.
If Green has been dealing with a tear in his rib cage, why did he come north with the Mets?
Either way, good for Valdes. Imagine that feeling? One month you’re pitching for Tabasco in the Mexican League and the next, after a short and decent spring training, you’re on the brink of pitching in the major leagues in the biggest market in the country. Crazy.
Lineup [Game 6]
- Jose Reyes – SS
- Alex Cora – 2B
- David Wright – 3B
- Jason Bay – LF
- Mike Jacobs – 1B
- Jeff Francoeur – RF

Question: Do you want to see the opposing team’s lineup, or is the Mets enough?

Game Recap: Nationals 4 – Mets 3
Willie F*****’ Harris.
The Good
Welcome back, Jose Reyes. Reyes looked a little rusty to start, but made a nice play in the 9th and followed that up with a single to start a failed rally in the bottom half of the inning. Just glad to have him back.
Jeff Francoeur is on a tear. He went 2-4 with another walk today, scoring once.
Jason Bay scored twice, but failed to pick up a hit. (See: Below)
Oliver Perez is batting .500 with an RBI after his single in the second inning.
The bullpen. The Mets ‘pen continues to impress, combining for 3 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball, including Ryota Igarashi getting Willie Taveras to strike out swinging with two runners in scoring position.
The In-Between
Oliver Perez’s 5 2/3 innings, allowing four earned runs and four walks. He struck out six. He wasn’t great but he wasn’t awful. Ordinary Ollie.
The Bad & Ugly
Tyler Clippard. Clippard tossed three innings in relief and struck out seven Mets.
Willie Harris is a Met killer. Another spectacular play to end a game, like he did a few years ago with the Braves. Last time, I broke my plastic helmet in frustration. Guess what? I did it again.
Ducks on the pond. The Mets left 12 runners on base. Lost by 1. Do the math.
K-Bay. Jason Bay: 0-4, 2 K.
Game Ball
Got to give it to Frenchy, again.

Look who’s back!
Tejada to Buffalo to make room for Reyes
Ruben Tejada, who made two starts and picked up his first major league hit last night, has been sent to Triple-A Buffalo to make room for Jose Reyes to return to the Mets lineup.
I wonder how much time Tejada will see at second base with Buffalo. He could be the Castillo replacement in the future.

Game Recap: Mets 8 – Nationals 2
All-around beauty.
The Good
Dingers. Both Rod Barajas and Jeff Francoeur hit a pair of home runs, marking the first time the Mets ever hit four home runs in Citi Field. They combined for five RBI.
Six innings. Mike Pelfrey turned in a good effort, allowing two earned in six innings. He struck out four and tossed 57 of 94 for strikes, including 16 first-pitch strikes.
Dozens. The Mets pounded out 12 hits, five for extra bases.
Hitless. Hisanori Takahashi rebounded from last night, Fernando Nieve pitched in his fourth straight game and Jenrry Mejia set them down 1-2-3 in the ninth.
The Bad
K-Bay. Jason Bay struck out three times in five trips to the plate. He did single and walk in his other two PAs.
Walk on. Tyler Walker surrendered five hits and three earned runs in only 1 1/3 innings.
Walked over. Pelfrey walked four batters in his six innings.
Game Ball
Split between Barajas and Francoeur.
