Here’s some good injury news for your Wednesday afternoon, infielder and left-handed pitching-smasher Wilmer Flores is back with the Mets. The team announced Flores’ activation, and the corresponding move — sending down pitcher Sean Gilmartin to Triple-A Las Vegas — before their third game against the Atlanta Braves.
Flores went on the disabled list back on April 20 with an infection in his knee. The injury was pretty random, and ’til this day, Flores and the team aren’t exactly sure what caused it. He thinks it could have even been a hair that started everything off.
