Mets infielder Wilmer Flores had wrist surgery

Mets infielder Wilmer Flores had surgery on his wrist Friday, posting after that it went well.

The surgery involved the removal of the hook of the hamate bone in his right wrist.

Flores is expected to be ready for Spring Training.

He was injured against the Braves in Atlanta on Sept. 10 when he slid head-first into home plate.

While sliding head-first was a bit foolish, Flores was only still in the game because manager Terry Collins “forgot” to pinch-run for him. That’s inexcusable, but we digress.

Flores tried to make it back several times near the end of the season, but was unable to swing a bat.
