The Mets are beat up

The conference call is over and two players are out of commission but still with the team (relayed by David Lennon and Adam Rubin).

J.J. Putz has a bone spur in his right elbow, shown on an MRI on Wednesday.  Putz received an anti-inflammatory shot and will not be available for two days.

Carlos Delgado will not go on the DL, at least not yet.  The Mets will wait a few more days to see if a DL stint is needed.  Lennon quotes it as an “impingement” which may also be around a slight tear or bone spur.

The Mets will be playing with a short bench and a short bullpen going into a very tough series against the surprising San Francisco Giants.

They are essentially a 23-man team right now.  That can’t bode well.
