New York Mets news, rumors and injuriesWed, 19 Jun 2013 20:10:04 -0700 New York Mets SS Ruben Tejada (quadriceps) has yet to resume any lateral movement in his recovery from a strained right quadriceps muscle. He has been fielding grounders hit directly at him, but is not yet running on his injured right leg. The team still has no timetable for his return. Share: Mets | Josh Satin works out at 3B Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:09:39 -0700 New York Mets 1B Josh Satin worked out at third base during batting practice Wednesday, June 19. Manager Terry Collins said he wants to give 3B David Wright a day off soon, and Satin could be the man to fill in when that time comes. Share: Mets | Zack Wheeler to rejoin team next week Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:06:20 -0700 New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler flew Wednesday, June 19, to Tucson, Ariz., where he will join Triple-A Las Vegas. However, he is expected to rejoin the Mets next week during their road trip to Chicago. "He certainly understood the whole situation," manager Terry Collins said. Fantasy Tip: Wheeler was impressive in his major league debut, become just the third pitcher in franchise history to pick up a win in his very first appearance in the bigs. He should be added in all NL-only leagues, most mixed formats and definitely in long-term keeper formats should he inexplicably still be available. Share: Mets | Luis Mateo recovering Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:05:07 -0700 New York Mets P Luis Mateo (elbow) had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last week, a source confirmed. Share: Mets | David Wright benefits from scoring change Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:04:31 -0700 Major League Baseball made an official scoring change from the game Wednesday, June 12, between the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals. Mets 3B David Wright originally reached on an error by Cardinals 3B David Freese, but it has been changed to a hit. Share: Mets | Eric Young leads off Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:03:44 -0700 New York Mets OF Eric Young Jr. served as the leadoff hitter in his team debut Wednesday, June 19, against the Atlanta Braves, going 1-for-4 with a strikeout. Fantasy Tip: Manager Terry Collins said earlier that Young will be used frequently, so despite his .243 overall average (including his time in Colorado earlier this season), he is worth adding in all NL-only fantasy leagues, and even some mixed formats if you need depth at the outfield position. He could be a cheap source of speed. Share: Mets | Will return to five-man rotation Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:48:51 -0700 The New York Mets will return to a five-man rotation after the All-Star break, and manager Terry Collins indicated that SPs Shaun Marcum, Jeremy Hefner and Dillon Gee aren't guaranteed to have spots in the rotation when that happens. Marcum's $4 million salary doesn't make him immune, especially with the way Gee has pitched lately. Hefner could be moved to the bullpen or optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. "When we get back to five guys, I think we're going to take the five guys that we think are the best to run out there every fifth day, and what gives us the best opportunity to win," Collins said. Fantasy Tip: The odd-man out will probably come down to whichever pitcher is throwing the poorest when the time comes. The club might prefer to leave Marcum in the rotation since he has bonuses in his contract if he's pitching in relief. Stay tuned. Share: Mets | Ruben Tejada not improving Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:00:51 -0700 New York Mets SS Ruben Tejada (quadriceps) is not ready to perform lateral movements when he fields groundballs in Florida. However, he's been hitting off a tee. It doesn't appear as if he's close to returning. SS Omar Quintanilla is hitting .250 with two home runs and seven RBIs in 64 at-bats in Tejada's absence. Fantasy Tip: Quintanilla's NL-only value is bolstered by this news. As long as Tejada is out, he'll be the man at shortstop, and Jordany Valdespin can occasionally spell him. Share: Mets | Shaun Marcum's rotation spot in jeopardy? Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:21:12 -0700 New York Mets manager Terry Collins didn't give SP Shaun Marcum a ringing endorsement to keep his rotation post when SP Zack Wheeler returns from the minors. Share: Mets | Eric Young to play often Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:16:54 -0700 New York Mets manager Terry Collins said OF Eric Young Jr. will play "quite often," because he gives the team a leadoff option and a threat to steal bases. Fantasy Tip: Young was always an intriguing option for stolen bases in deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats while in Colorado, but lack of consistent playing time hurt him. Now that he'll see everyday at-bats with the Metropolitans, he becomes much more worthy of rostering in those same formats for his speed. Share: Mets| Andrew Brown recalled Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:03:59 -0700 The New York Mets recalled OF Andrew Brown from the minors Wednesday, June 19, and designated OF Collin Cowgill for assignment in a corresponding move. Share: Mets | Scott Atchison to DL Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:56:47 -0700 The New York Mets placed RP Scott Atchison (groin) on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, June 19. Share: Mets | David Wright reaches milestone Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:57:37 -0700 New York Mets 3B David Wright collected his 1,500th career hit in the doubleheader Tuesday, June 18, against the Atlanta Braves. He is the 30th active player to reach the milestone. Share: Mets | Zack Wheeler optioned after debut Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:57:09 -0700 New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler made his major league debut in Game 2 of a doubleheader Tuesday, June 18, against the Atlanta Braves, and he picked up the win. He is just the third starting pitcher in franchise history to earn a win in his big league debut, and first since P Masato Yoshii in 1998. He was optioned to Triple-A after the game, as he was the 26th player up just for the doubleheader. Share: Mets | Eric Young acquired Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:56:36 -0700 The New York Mets acquired OF Eric Young Jr. from the Colorado Rockies for P Collin McHugh Tuesday, June 18. Fantasy Tip: Young is likely to see significant at-bats for the Mets in the outfield, and therefore he is worth a look in NL-only leagues if you're in need of an outfielder or utility fantasy option. Young can also help those in NL rotisserie formats if you're looking for a cheap source of stolen bases. Share:  |
