After getting plunked by a 98 mph fastball on Wednesday, it has been confirmed that Kevin Plawecki has suffered a hairline fracture in his hand. Initial x-rays after the game had come back negative, but after undergoing an MRI, it was confirmed that initial reports were incorrect. Plawecki is expected to be out 2-3 weeks.
This injury comes on the heels of the news of Travis d’Arnaud’s season ending injury that may require Tommy John surgery. Until the Mets can figure out a long-term solution, it seems that Tomas Nido and Jose Lobaton will man the position. However, there are reports circulating that the upper brass have made contact with the Marlins about their catcher J.T. Realmuto. Stay tuned folks.
