The New York Mets, looking for some roster flexibility and with the best interest in mind about third baseman JD Davis’ health, decided to place him on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 7, with a left hand contusion according to Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News.
The Mets’ third sacker suffered the injury on Tuesday, after being hit by a pitch on his left hand by a 90 mph Chase Anderson fastball and not being able to recover as quickly as the team had hoped.
X-rays taken to Davis’ hand this week were negative, but the Mets decided that they needed his roster spot for as many days as he remains on the shelf.
