When the Mets rocked the Phillies for 14 runs Tuesday night, they took two victims from Philadelphia’s pitching staff. Adam Morgan was demoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and Clay Buchholz left early due to an elbow strain.
This isn’t Buchholz’s first elbow strain either. He suffered one back in 2015 while he was still with the Red Sox. He went on to spend the last three months of the season on the disabled list. Buchholz told reporters that it stinks to be on the DL for a long time: [quote via Meghan Montemurro of the News Journal]
It appears Buchholz may be heading back to the disabled list yet again thanks to this injury.
