Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Francisco Lindor told the media before this afternoon’s game that he has a broken right pinky toe and is day-to-day. He told reporters that he hopes to avoid an IL stint and intends to play through it. He appeared to suffer the injury after being hit in the foot by a pitch in last night’s game, but he says he hurt it sliding. He remained in the game despite being in obvious discomfort and he confirmed that he was playing through “a lot” of pain.
Dodgers 6, Mets 5: Megill and the Mets battle back, but fall in extras

3 weeks ago | amazinavenue.com | Allison McCague

Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images The Mets suffered a frustrating 6-5 walk-off, extra-inning loss to the Dodgers tonight in Los Angeles. The game seemed destined to be a lopsided result early, but a bounce back effort by Tylor Megill turned this one into another nail-biter that ended in extremely confusing and anticlimactic fashion. The Mets jumped out to an early lead right away off Clayton Kershaw in the first. Starling Marte singled with one out and a wild pitch advanced him to second.

Mets Player Meter: Pitchers, May 26-June 1

3 weeks ago | amazinavenue.com | Allison McCague

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images As usual, there is much more green than red on the pitching meter, but there is also a poop emoji on this week’s meter for the first time in recent memory. Griffin Canning pitched a clunker. It happens. But the positives still far outweigh the negatives; the rotation as a whole has remained consistently excellent and Edwin Díaz is still lights out. We’ll rip the bandage off and tackle Griffin Canning’s poor outing first.
