The New York Mets are in a quite uncomfortable position. They have dropped crucial games recently, their advantage in the NL East is dwindling (it currently stands at 2.5 games) and they lost six of their last 10 games.
To make matters worse, the injury woes that affected the organization early in the season seem to be back. Arguably the two best players on the Mets’ roster, pitcher Jacob deGrom and shortstop Francisco Lindor, are currently out with injuries.
Whereas the injury crisis of May and June seemed to affect more position players, the rotation is the one suffering the blows this time.
