WASHINGTON \u2014 A.J. Minter officially hit the 15-day injured list on Sunday after he was diagnosed with a lat strain, but the extent of the injury wasn\u2019t immediately clear to manager Carlos Mendoza.<\/p>\n
After the Mets\u2019 8-7 loss to the Nationals, Mendoza said he had to consult with the medical staff about a prognosis. The lefty reliever was scheduled to receive an MRI exam earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
Minter on Saturday cited discomfort in his triceps as the reason for his departure in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
In need of a fresh arm, the Mets selected Jos\u00e9 Ure\u00f1a from Triple-A Syracuse to take Minter\u2019s roster spot. Ure\u00f1a, who was available from the bullpen on Sunday, was chosen in part because he is stretched out and can provide multiple innings in an outing.<\/p>\n
The Mets will utilize a sixth starter on Wednesday and could choose Ure\u00f1a for that spot if he isn\u2019t needed from the bullpen beforehand. But the team is leaning toward bringing up left-hander Brandon Waddell from Syracuse to start or pitch behind an opener against the Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n
Ronny Mauricio was placed on a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie. The infielder is rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and subsequent procedure to remove scar tissue that cost him all of last season.<\/p>\n
Mendoza said he chose to stick with Starling Marte against right-hander Jackson Rutledge rather than use Jesse Winker as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning with runners on second and third because of the particular matchup. Marte grounded out and the Mets didn\u2019t score in the inning.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a pretty even matchup there,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cAnd knowing that the cutter was an effective pitch there, I knew I had Winker, but I trust Marte in that particular situation to get the job done. It just didn\u2019t happen this time. \u2026 The cutter is a pitch that is giving Winker some trouble and I stuck with Marte there.\u201d<\/p>\n
After finishing the sixth inning at 92 pitches, Tylor Megill was determined to return for the seventh.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told Mendy I wanted to go back out there,\u201d Megill said, referring to Mendoza. \u201cThe bullpen has been working [a lot], so I wanted to go back out and give another inning and save the bullpen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megill was charged for two runs in the inning \u2014 Juan Soto lost a fly ball for a double to begin the Nationals rally \u2014 before he was removed with one out. It was Megill\u2019s first time working beyond 5 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings in his six starts this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
