Carlos Carrasco’s 60-day injured list earlier this week officially made his Mets debut in early May, at least after the end of May.
Acting general manager Zac Scott on Saturday extended that time even further, stating that Carrasco’s chances of returning to the mound are “not early June” as recovery continues from a torn right hamstring in the right hand which he has since March Had suffered in the middle of
“It is difficult to know exactly when. Apparently, we kept him for 60-days, so that the best case came out in early June. Whether he hits or not, I’d say it’s probably in our interest to slow it down, “Scott said before the game against the Diamondbacks on Saturday. “This person is really impressive as a person, as a competitor. He is really tough, he has done a lot in his career, he cares a lot, and he desperately wants to take the ball, which I really respect and appreciate. With players like that, we have to make sure that we are careful that he is not trying to push anytime soon.
“So I hesitate to put an exact time limit on that, but I will admit that this is not the beginning of June, in that we want to make sure that we do this right by him, and also by the team right. When The goal is to ensure that when he comes back, he is back for good. ”
Scott said it is “definitely a relief” that Ace Jacob DeGrom is “ready to roll right” to begin Sunday’s series finale, having made his previous debut disappear with right latitude.
According to Scott, the Mets are expecting injured pitchers Seth Lugo (elbow) and Noah Syndergaard (Tommy John surgery) to “get ready in a week” or start minor league rehab work. Lugo’s return is still targeted in late May, for Cinderegard “sometime in June.”
Carrasco, 34, who was obtained in an offseason deal importing shortstop Francisco Lindor from Cleveland, was starting rehab work by the end of this week, until the team announced on Thursday that it suffered a setback. Was.
“Part of a specific rehab progression, especially with soft tissue injuries, at some point you have to push the player to see where their boundaries are,” Scott said. “A lot of those types of injuries, their progression is reaction based. You can see MRIs throughout the day but there are a lot of injuries, we look at the intensity and the kind of ramps that the person responds to.
“There was a rehab or talked about starting his rehab progress in the game. It’s not going to happen, it’s going to wait a while. I’m not going to put a timetable on it, because it’s a The guess is based on how he feels, how he responds. But we’re going back to the hamstrings for a while now.
