Nick Madrigal has been diagnosed with a left shoulder fracture after injuring himself during an exhibition game, meaning he will miss a significant amount of time this season. The Mets had planned to utilize Madrigal as a backup infielder, particularly at shortstop, making his injury a considerable setback for the team. Without him in the mix, manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that the team would assess other candidates like Luisangel Acuna and Brett Baty for backup infield positions, particularly for shortstop behind starter Francisco Lindor.
Madrigal's left shoulder fracture is a major setback for the Mets as he was a top candidate for the backup infielder position this spring.
Madrigal's unfortunate injury on Day 1 of spring training means the Mets will need to explore other infield options moving forward.
