Frankie Montas shut down for significant stretch in Mets’ first spring training blow
NY Post
PORT ST. LUCIE — Frankie Montas’ triceps soreness following his first bullpen session last week has turned into a rotation vacancy for the Mets to begin the season.
The right-hander is dealing with a high-grade lat strain, manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday, and has been shut down from throwing for 6-8 weeks.
Once Montas begins throwing again he will need a full spring training buildup, meaning in a best-case scenario he won’t return to the Mets until at least mid-May.
The 34-year-old Montas returned to New York, where he was scheduled to receive a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection.
Mendoza isn’t backing off his plan to utilize a six-man rotation, leaving Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn among the primary internal options to replace Montas.
Kodai Senga, Sean Manaea, Clay Holmes, David Peterson and Griffin Canning are the projected top five with Montas sidelined.
