| Mets' Carlos Gomez Out 6-8 Weeks Word came down before the Mets/Astros game that Mets outfielder Carlos Gomez has a broken bone in his hand and will be out for 6-8 weeks.
This is a pretty big blow as Moises Alou is not slated to return for another week and a half or so. Lastings Milledge is still out with an injury. Endy Chavez is on the DL for the foreseeable future. I wonder if this means David Newhan will get more playing time in left field.
If nothing else, this means Gomez is guaranteed not to be traded at the deadline. |
