Jon Niese went down in a heap. Gary Sheffield simply walked off the field.
Niese injured himself covering first base during the second inning of today’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The results from the MRI were just released, and they showed a complete tear of his hamstring tendon. Niese immediately had surgery on the tear, reports Bart Hubbuch.
As you would expect, he will miss the remainder of the season. He is expected back for spring training, 2010.
Sheffield walked off the field and into the clubhouse after singling in the sixth inning. His hit looked like it would have been a double, but the 40-year-old stopped at first base, turned and walked straight into the clubhouse, trainer in tow.
Two more losses for the already injury depleted Mets. It’s time to bring up the kids.
