Jeurys Familia Goes On Injured List
6 years agoThe New York Mets placed relief pitcher Jeurys Familia on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with right shoulder soreness after he blew the save against the Reds on Tuesday night. Familia's MRI exam showed no structural damage and just a bony growth that has bothered him off and on for years. He received a cortisone shot. Lefty Ryan O'Rourke was called up from Triple-A Syracuse. The Mets are optimistic that it's not a long-term concern, but Familia had a 6.28 ERA with 13 walks in 14 1/3 innings over his 14 outings this year. Familia could return from the injured list shortly after he's eligible to return. Edwin Diaz is the unquestioned closer in New York, but Robert Gsellman might be the next man up in the eighth inning now.
