Mets' Injury Woes: Robert, Soto, Lindor & More

It's May 1st.

Welcome in.

This is New York Metz News Today, where your team meets AI.

I'm Cory with the story.

The New York Metz are getting hammered by injuries right now.

Their center-fielder, Lewis Robert Jr. just landed on the 10-day injured list with a

herniated spinal disc.

They've also got Juan Soto's sideline for two weeks.

Francisco Lendor out for about a month and started Cody Sanga dealing with back inflammation.

It's the third Metz player to hit the injured list in just one week.

Metz issue popped up on Monday, leading to test on Wednesday and in injection the next

day.

Managers are hoping it's a quick stay, but they got to see how he bounces back from the

treatment.

The team tried easing him in during spring training to build strength, but it hasn't

been enough.

Metz Skipper Carlos Mendoza called it crazy to have all this hit at once, though he admits

injuries happen.

Robert's super frustrated after doing everything asked, like taking rest days.

The whole line-ups in the slump anyway, making it tougher.

To patch things up, they called up pitcher Austin Warren, an infielder Eric Wageman from

Triple A Syracuse.

Right-hander Karl Edwards Jr. got designated for assignment to make room.

The Metz depth is tested, but they're pushing forward, waiting on Robert's recovery, while

leaning on the roster tweaks to stay competitive through.

This rough patch.
