Another one bites the dust.
After receiving second and third opinions on the herniated disc in his back, Neil Walker announced he will undergo season-ending surgery, joining David Wright, Lucas Duda, Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler and Juan Lagares as Mets likely out for the season.
Walker said the operation, known as microdiscectomy surgery, will include a three-month recovery time.
Manager Terry Collins broke the news Wednesday night — hours after general manager Sandy Alderson told reporters Walker could play through the injury and described it as “routine” — and the team’s steady second baseman made it official Thursday before the Mets went for a four-game sweep over the Marlins.
