Ahead of Monday’s doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets made a flurry of roster moves, largely to supplement the pitching staff. One of the moves, however, was emblematic of this gloomy and injured season.
After seven seasons in the major leagues without a stint on the disabled list, third baseman Todd Frazier is in for his second one of the year. He missed a month earlier this season with a left hamstring strain and will now miss an unspecified amount of time with a left rib cage muscle strain.
“The older I get, I still feel like I’m in control of my body and then something like this happens,” he said before Monday’s first game.
