Sean Manaea suffers setback in Mets injury return
NY Post
MIAMI — Sean Manaea certainly won’t return to pitch for the Mets in April, as originally hoped. Now May isn’t looking so good for him either.
The left-hander has been shut down from throwing for at least two weeks in his rehab after receiving a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection for his strained right oblique, manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday. Manaea, who was in the early stages of his rehab, felt discomfort during a long-toss session.
Manaea received an MRI exam that showed inflammation, according to Mendoza.
“He’s getting shut down for two weeks and then we have to revisit and see where he is after that,” Mendoza said before the Mets faced the Marlins at loanDepot park.
Once Manaea resumes throwing, he will still need a full spring training buildup that could last six weeks.
Manaea returned to the Mets last offseason on a $75 million contract over three years as a key piece to this rotation. Last season he pitched to a 3.47 ERA over 32 starts.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
