Darin Ruf’s first spring training with the Mets could be deemed a time of renewed hope, after his rough two-month stint with the club last season.
could be deemed a time of renewed hope, after his underwhelming two-month stint with the club last season.The veteran DH revealed Tuesday he received a cortisone shot in his right wrist this week and will be limited in his activity in camp for two or three days. Ruf said the discomfort surfaced after he began ramping up for baseball activities in January, and that he’s been diagnosed with arthritis in the wrist.
“[The wrist] is something that was bothersome, but I thought I could get through it,” Ruf said. “But as I progressed this offseason not only was I not getting better, I was getting worse, so it’s not something I want to try to do. I don’t think I could have been as productive as I need to be with the way it was feeling.
Ruf indicated there was likely a snowball effect to his struggles, with increased pressure on him as his slump continued.
