Prior to tonight’s series opener against the Mariners, the Mets announced that James McCann underwent an x-ray this morning that revealed a fracture of his left hamate bone. McCann had been out of the lineup for the past few days with “left wrist soreness” and initially expressed optimism that he could return as soon as today. However, today’s news revealed a far more serious injury, which will require surgery to repair. The approximate timeline for recovery from this surgery is six weeks, but hamate injuries often have lasting effects for hitters beyond the initial recovery time.
