Trainer's Room....

There's still no timetable for the return of All-Star RF Starling Marte, sidelined since Sept. 7 with a partially broken middle finger on his right (throwing) hand. He received an injection and remains in a splint but is still feeling some discomfort. "I know it's frustrating for him," Showalter said. "He just needs to get to a point where he can grip a ball and grip a bat. Not there yet."
RHP Mychal Givens had two strikeouts in a scoreless inning during a rehab outing for Triple-A Syracuse.

After a day off on Thursday, the Mets will start their biggest series of the season on Friday when they take on the Atlanta Braves at 7:20 p.m. ET at Truist Park. Jacob deGrom (5-3, 2.93 ERA) will start the opener for the Mets against Max Fried (13-7, 2.50 ERA) for the Braves.

Well that goes w/o saying.....but I don't believe that's how it'll play out.
So you just stop with that fear and loathing and the negativity right now, mister.
