A.J. Minter Lands On The 15-Day IL
New York Mets relief pitcher A.J. Minter has been placed on the 15-Day IL with a left lat strain. Minter was removed in the eighth inning of Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Nationals due to what was initially reported as left triceps tightness. After further evaluation, testing revealed a left lat strain, and the left-hander will now be shut down from throwing for the short term. The Mets selected Jose Urena's contract from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Minter was second on the team in holds with seven on the season, and in the meantime, Danny Young and Huascar Brazoban are the most likely candidates to see an uptick in their relief work leading up to closer Edwin Diaz.
