Paul Blackburn made a significant comeback in his first outing since undergoing surgery for a cerebrospinal fluid leak. Pitching for the Mets against the Marlins in a Grapefruit League game, he completed a clean 1-2-3 inning. The successful return is crucial for Blackburn, especially given injuries to teammates that open up a potential spot in the starting rotation. Both Blackburn and manager Carlos Mendoza expressed optimism about his performance and recovery, highlighting this game as an important milestone in his rehabilitation journey.
Huge day,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “It’s a big day for him, it’s a big day for us, because it wasn’t easy what he went through. It was pretty scary when he got the news.
I had the normal jitters and a little anxiety before the game, just wanting to start, some excitement,” Blackburn said. “I feel like today was a good step in the right direction.
