There are only 27 games left in the regular season, and this year keeps getting stranger when it comes to how Mets players can get injured.
Wilmer Flores, one of the bright spots of this season, broke his nose on Saturday night’s second game against the Houston Astros. Much like Michael Conforto‘s injury, Flores suffered this injury by swinging a bat. In this case, however, he actually made some contact. Unfortunately, it was enough contact to slightly change the direction of the ball from going into the catcher’s mitt to instead go into right into his face.
