LATEST NEWS​

Sept. 14: RHP Paul Blackburn (lower back) has spinal fluid leak
The Mets have shut down Blackburn, one of their most prominent Trade Deadline acquisitions, due to a spinal fluid leak in his mid-back. Team officials are uncertain when Blackburn may be able to pitch again, but president of baseball operations David Stearns cautioned that the injury is not as troubling as it might sound.
"This is not a long-term, scary health situation," Stearns said. "It sounds troubling, but [it's] clearly an unusual baseball injury, and that has led to the back discomfort that he felt and, progressively, got worse."
Blackburn, who hasn't pitched since taking a comebacker off his right hand on Aug. 23 in San Diego, was originally scheduled to return from the injured list this past Monday. Back discomfort subsequently delayed his return and resulted in additional testing, which revealed the spinal fluid leak. For as long as Blackburn is sidelined, Tylor Megill will continue to pitch in his rotation spot.

Sept. 14: SS Francisco Lindor remains day to day due to lower-back tightness
Lindor was out of Saturday's starting lineup after exiting Friday's 11-3 win over the Phillies due to lower-back tightness, but he was potentially available off the bench. The shortstop has appeared in all 147 of New York's games this season, but will need to appear at some point on Saturday if he wants to become the second Met to play in every game of a 162-game season.
"No one at this point is overly concerned," president of baseball operations David Stearns said. More > >
