After missing the entire month of May due to an oblique strain, Luis Guillorme was finally all set to begin a minor league rehab assignment in Syracuse on Thursday, with the goal being for him to be back with the major league team towards the end of next week. This being a rehab assignment for a member of the 2021 New York Mets, of course something had to go wrong, as his first game back was rained out. It is also possible he will suffer a mysterious “not a setback” setback the same way that so many other players have done this year, but if we want to take the optimistic view and believe that the Mets’ timeline for his return is accurate, then Guillorme will be a much-needed reinforcement for this beleaguered first place team.
