Who’s still alive on the Mets? DL moves and stuff update

Fun day in Queens.

Tonight’s starter…..MATT HARVEY!  Yep, JDG has a stiff neck.  Hmmm.

Flores and Duda to the DL.  TJ and Gilmartin up.

Reyes The Untouchable is at SS because Cabrera has something.

Bruce at first because someone has to play first.  If only we had used the 40 practice games to try him there.

Cespedes not in the lineup.  But hey Conforto is playing!  See, you got what you wanted!

Oh my.

 

METS ROSTER MOVES

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., April 21, 2017 – The New York Mets today announced that they have placed infielders Lucas Duda (hyperextended left elbow) and Wilmer Flores (right knee infection) on the 10-Day Disabled List. Duda’s placement on the 10-Day Disabled List is retroactive to April 20. Additionally, the Mets have recalled infielder T.J. Rivera and lefthanded pitcher Sean Gilmartin from Las Vegas (AAA) of the Pacific Coast League. Rivera will wear #54 and Gilmartin will wear #36. Both will be available for tonight’s game.

 

Rivera, 28, was on the Mets 2017 Opening Day roster and saw action in four games for the Mets earlier this season going 0-3 with two walks and a run scored.
