A.J. Minter and Danny Young of the New York Mets are sidelined for the rest of the season due to injuries, leaving the team vulnerable in their bullpen. Minter opted for surgery on a lat strain, while Young is set to undergo Tommy John surgery. Their absence will heavily affect the Mets, who have only Genesis Cabrera remaining as a left-handed option. Meanwhile, Jesse Winker is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with a Grade 2 oblique strain, further depleting the team's roster. The Mets have called up Brett Baty to fill Winker's spot. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed concern over these injuries, emphasizing the tight timelines often associated with recovery from oblique strains.
