Marcus Stroman exits early as Mets’ pitching nightmare continues
NY Post
The Mets’ pitching depth was already a problem, and then came Tuesday night.
Already without a fifth starter and a long man in the bullpen, they lost one of their top starting pitchers after just one inning. Marcus Stroman lasted just the first frame before leaving three pitches into the second inning with left hip soreness. He asked to remain in the game, but was clearly uncomfortable, unable to follow through on his warm-up pitches, and told manager Luis Rojas he may have hyperextended something in his hip after a pitch in the second inning. “He wanted to stay in, but I think it was wise to come out,” Rojas said after the Mets’ 3-0 loss to the Braves, their sixth setback in eight games. “Just be cautious. You can hurt something else.”More Related News
