Mets Add Pitchers Paul Blackburn and Dedniel Núñez to Long Injured List
- On Thursday, the Mets placed Blackburn and Nunez on the 15-day IL with shoulder and elbow injuries, deepening their pitching staff's struggles.
- Blackburn’s shoulder impingement and Nunez’s elbow sprain stem from recurring injuries including prior shoulder, knee, spinal fluid leak, and forearm issues, leading to their IL placements.
- The Mets have four starters on injured list, including Blackburn and Canning, with three relievers called up from Triple-A to fill gaps.
- The Mets scramble to fill innings with unproven arms and swingmen on short rest due to Blackburn and Nunez's injuries.
- The Mets' rotation recovery depends on Sean Manaea's return amid a tough July schedule and strained bullpen, as Blackburn and Nunez remain on the injured list.
