Mets’ Nunez Back on IL with Forearm Tightness, This Time With a Twist

New York Mets reliever Dedniel Nunez is back on the 15-day injured list, this time with right forearm tightness. Nunez, a rookie pitcher who has been a key contributor to the Mets’ bullpen, was recently placed on the IL after recovering from a pronator strain in his pitching arm. Despite a promising return, the Mets have decided to place him back on the IL after observing that he wasn’t recovering well after his last appearance. The 28-year-old has been a valuable asset to the team this season, delivering a stellar 2.31 ERA in 25 relief appearances. His absence will undoubtedly impact the Mets’ pitching strategy as they navigate the remainder of the season.
