The Mets have placed Steven Matz and Dellin Betances on the injured list, called up Franklyn Kilome and Drew Smith to take their places on the team’s active roster, and added fellow pitcher Ariel Jurado to the roster as the team’s 29th man for its doubleheader in The Bronx today.
Matz pitched one inning in relief in yesterday’s loss to the Yankees and did not return to the mound because of his shoulder discomfort. Betances hadn’t been known to be dealing with any injury issues recently, but he had a brutal inning against his former team yesterday in the ninth inning, ultimately throwing a wild pitch that plated the Yankees’ winning run.
