Mets Place Devin Williams on 15 Day Injured List With Shoulder Strain
The New York Mets have officially placed relief pitcher Devin Williams on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain. The roster move was announced following recent physical evaluations of the reliever.
Interim manager Andy Green addressed the situation during his media session. Green stated that he does not believe the injury will result in a long-term stint on the injured list for Williams.
The bullpen will now need to adjust its operations in the absence of the key relief arm. Coaching staff members are currently evaluating internal options to cover the late-inning workload.
Williams will focus entirely on his rehabilitation program under the direct supervision of the medical staff. Further updates regarding his recovery timeline and potential throwing progression will be provided by the organization in due course.
