NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets suddenly don’t appear to be so deep at pitcher.
According to multiple reports, Seth Lugo has partially torn the ulnar collateral ligament in his right, throwing elbow. He is opting against Tommy John surgery, but will be out at least several weeks while he rests and rehabs the injury, reports said.
The 27-year-old hurler had a platelet-rich plasma injection Tuesday, according to reports.
Lugo, who was vying this spring for the fifth spot in the Mets’ rotation, was placed on the disabled list to start the season with what was initially described as arm fatigue.
