Injuries have hit the New York Mets this year like never before. In general, all 30 MLB teams have had to deal with the rigors of a long, grueling season that has brought lots of physical ailments, but what has happened to the Mets has been something else.
One of the Mets’ injured stars, Carlos Carrasco, hasn’t been able to pitch in 2021 with a myriad of injuries. He came alongside Francisco Lindor from Cleveland at the beginning of the year, but suffered some elbow soreness during spring training that he downplayed.
During his recovery, the Mets’ starter, who was projected to be in the middle of a very good rotation, tore his hamstring in March, and hasn’t been able to fully shake off the injury.
