Yesterday, the Mets (22-27) split a double header with the Arizona Diamondbacks (21-30). The Mets belted 22 hits on the afternoon but stranded 21 base runners in the process. Dice-K Matsuzaka spot started for the night cap and pitched 6 brilliant innings, surrendering only 2 runs. Jennry Mejia notched his third save for the Amazin's.
Eric Young Jr. appears headed to the DL early Monday morning, and his likely replacement will be Matt Den Decker. "I just came in one day and it wasn't feeling that good," said Young, "yesterday when I stole that base I felt it a bit more. Young has been hitting .220 on the year with 1 home run and 17 stolen bases.
Dillon Gee had a minor set back as he tries to recover from a strained right lat muscle. Gee did not throw his scheduled bullpen session on Sunday, GM Sandy Alderson said. Gee's goal of a June 5th return is now up in question.
Travis d'Arnaud is eying a return off the DL as well, even as early as Wednesday. Travis went 1-3 with a two run home run and caught five innings in a double A rehab start for Binghamton on Sunday. Mets said d'Arnaud will DH in another rehab game Monday, catch again Tuesday, and be potentially activated Wednesday. d'Arnaud is recovering from a slight concussion and was placed not the 7-day DL.
Next up, the Mets open a series with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Citi Field Monday afternoon at 1:10 PM.
