Nick Madrigal, competing for a backup infielder position with the Mets, dislocated his left shoulder during a spring training game against the Nationals. His status is currently uncertain, pending an MRI, which manager Carlos Mendoza approached cautiously, stating that they need to assess the damage. Madrigal's injury compounds the Mets' challenges this spring as he joins Frankie Montas on the sidelines. Meanwhile, players like Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuna are also in the mix for infield roles, and Max Kranick adapted well to his role change, having pitched effectively in a recent game.
Madrigal, the Mets' first position player injury of spring training, suffered a dislocated shoulder while fielding, pending further evaluation from an MRI.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expressed caution regarding Madrigal's injury, stating, "We have to wait and see what we're dealing with," as the team assesses the situation.
With Madrigal questionable for the season, the Mets have several options, including Brett Baty who, while primarily a third baseman, may also play at other positions.
Max Kranick transitioned from starting to relief last season and showed adaptability by successfully pitching two scoreless innings in his first Grapefruit League outing.
