Addison Barger Will Be Out Longer

The start of another series, and all I’m thinking is ‘don’t be swept’.

That stuff about Addison Barger being back soon? Not so much. He has a ‘stress reaction in his back’. I guess that means stress fracture, but he’ll be shut down for two more weeks. So let’s hope that he might be back at the end of July.

Beyond that Yimi Garcia is ‘feeling a little better’ and playing catch. And Max Scherzer is playing catch, too.

This is nice. I want to say something snarky about any Met player would be sad if they thought they could be playing for Toronto.
