Wednesday night, the Mets lost yet another player to injury. In the bottom of the third inning of yesterday’s game, Neil Walker laid down a perfect bunt off Cubs’ pitcher Mike Montgomery, which appeared that he may have been able to beat out.
However, after getting more than halfway down the line, Walker grabbed his hamstring, and hobbled to first base before completely collapsing. Walker left the game on Wednesday with obvious pain, and had an MRI done on Thursday — which revealed that Walker has a partial tear of his left hamstring .
