URGENT UPDATE: The New York Mets have just announced that right-hander Frankie Montas has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow UCL injury, effective September 30, 2023. This critical move comes as the Mets look to manage their pitching staff amid a challenging season.
Montas, who has struggled this season with a 6.28 ERA over nine games, including seven starts, will now be sidelined as the team evaluates the severity of his injury. His performance had raised concerns, and this setback further complicates the Mets’ pitching rotation as they seek to improve their standing.
In a swift response, the Mets recalled right-hander Huascar Brazobán from Triple-A Syracuse. Brazobán has been effective this season, boasting a 5-2 record with a solid 3.83 ERA across 44 games, including three starts as an opener. His return could provide much-needed stability to the Mets’ bullpen during Montas’s absence.
As fans eagerly await further updates on Montas’s condition, the Mets must now navigate the upcoming games without one of their key pitchers. The team’s performance over the next few weeks will be crucial as they strive for a strong finish to the season.
Stay tuned for more breaking updates as this story develops. The Mets’ management will be closely monitoring Montas’s recovery, and his future availability remains uncertain.
