Tommy Hunter’s second two-inning relief appearance of the season issued him a ticket to the Mets’ injured list Tuesday.
. “I knew we were going to have a challenge these first eight days getting to the off day with the pitching. I was trying to get as deep as we could with [Carrasco], but we couldn’t.”
Hunter, by his own count, has undergone at least seven back surgeries over the course of his career, so the spasms are hardly surprising to him. “It comes and goes and it happened a few times last year,” Hunter said. “It sucks, but we’ll be back. It just takes a few days and usually they go away and you can’t be out a guy for a couple of days.”
The rules governing the usage of position players to pitch had Showalter rooting against Mark Canha hitting a three-run homer on Monday that would have cut into the Brewers’ 10-0 lead. Showalter’s plan was to insert Luis Guillorme as the pitcher for the eighth inning, but that wouldn’t have been allowed unless the Mets trailed by at least eight runs.Share this article:
