Never-Ending Avalanche Of Injuries Doing A Number On Mets

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mets pitcher Matt Harvey will be sidelined for several weeks with a stress injury to the scapula bone in the right shoulder, the latest setback to a career already slowed by Tommy John surgery and a Thoracic Outlet Syndrome operation.

The injury-ravaged Mets also put second baseman Neil Walker on the 10-day disabled list with a partially torn left hamstring.

Hours after the Mets made those announcements, they needed to deal with another problem — center fielder Juan Lagares broke his left thumb trying to make a diving catch in an 8-3 loss to Washington.
