Dedniel Nunez Progressing Nicely, Could Pitch In Winter Ball
20 seconds agoNew York Mets relief pitcher Dedniel Nunez (forearm) is progressing well from a strained right flexor tendon after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection. Nunez was once at risk of needing surgery for his injury, but he's going to work out with the Tigres del Licey of the Dominican Winter League and could even make some appearances in that league if he continues to progress. It's really good news for the 28-year-old high-leverage arm after he missed the majority of the second half in 2024 due to the injury. If Nunez is able to avoid any setbacks once he begins ramping back up this offseason, he should be ready for spring training and the start of the 2025 campaign. When healthy, he was great out of New York's bullpen with a 2.31 ERA, 48 strikeouts and only eight walks in 35 innings pitched.
