Dedniel Nunez Placed on Injured List With Elbow Sprain
The New York Mets announced on Thursday that they placed right-handed reliever Dedniel Nunez (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with a right-elbow sprain and recalled right-hander Justin Hagenman from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. There's no exact timetable for Nunez's return, but it's possible he won't be ready to go for the start of the second half of the season on July 18. It's definitely a blow to the back end of New York's bullpen to close out the first half, as the 29-year-old Dominican hurler had allowed just two runs in six innings with eight strikeouts and two holds since returning from the minors last month. Nunez posted a 2.31 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with his first career save, 48 strikeouts and only eight walks in 35 innings in his first year in the big leagues in Queens in 2024.
