Morning Briefing: A.J. Minter Likely Headed For IL Stint

Good morning, Mets fans!

Lefty A.J. Minter left Tuesday’s game in the middle of the eighth inning with tightness in his left tricep. Both Carlos Mendoza and Minter himself have now said the injury will likely land him on the injured list.

Mendoza said that Minter will undergo an MRI on Sunday, at which point they’ll evaluate his condition further. Regardless, losing Minter for any amount of time would be a significant blow to the team. His 1.64 ERA over 11 innings has made him a major piece in this brilliant Mets bullpen.
