Injury Notes: Lowrie, Manaea, D-backs, Scooter, Tigers

By Connor Byrne | July 4, 2019 at 1:05am CDT

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Mets infielder Jed Lowrie still isn’t close to making his 2019 debut, manager Mickey Callaway told Tim Healey of Newsday and other reporters Wednesday. Lower body injuries have kept Lowrie from playing this season after he joined the Mets on a two-year, $20MM contract over the winter. With the season now at the halfway point, Callaway doesn’t even seem willing to commit to Lowrie taking the field at all in 2019. Asked if he expects to see Lowrie this year, Callaway said: “That’s hard to say. There’s so much of the season left. We’ll just have to play that by ear.”

  • Athletics left-hander Sean Manaea could embark on a rehab assignment soon, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, though manager Bob Melvin indicated he might not make it back to the A’s rotation this month. Manaea underwent left shoulder surgery last September and hasn’t pitched since. Just when it appeared Manaea was close to a rehab assignment last month, the A’s had to shut him down because of right side soreness. His potential return now looks even more crucial in the wake of the Grade 2 lat strain fellow lefty Jesus Luzardo suffered this week while rehabbing.
  • Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta will undergo an MRI on his balky right shoulder Thursday, manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic and other reporters. The same shoulder forced Peralta to the IL on May 24, led to an early exit Wednesday, and has likely contributed to his dip in production since he returned. Peralta’s OPS has fallen from .881 to .833 over the past month.
  • Second baseman Scooter Gennett exited the Reds’ game Wednesday with left groin tightness, the team announced. Gennett suggested afterward it’s not a serious injury, but he’ll know more Thursday (via Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer). He has already missed nearly all of this season – a contract year – because of a right groin injury. Gennett just made his 2019 debut June 28.
  • The Tigers have placed outfielder JaCoby Jones on the IL with a back injury and recalled outfielder Victor Reyes from Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News tweets. The 27-year-old Jones has been one of the few Detroit regulars to manage passable offensive production this season, with a .244/.313/.444 line (98 wRC+), nine home runs and six steals over 250 plate appearances. On the other side, Jones hasn’t come close to replicating last year’s marvelous display in the outfield. After accounting for 21 Defensive Runs Saved and a 12.3 Ultimate Zone Rating in 2018, he’s down to minus-5 and minus-9.1 in those categories this season.

    Lol. “Passable offense” for the tigers is hitting .244? Shows how badly mismanaged this team continues to be.

      .757 OPS, which is right around league average.

      If you’re picking just a single stat to evaluate a hitter’s offense, batting average certainly should not be the one

        Batting Average certainly should be the one it’s disgraceful to see whole line ups hitting .200-.250

          Average has absolutely no bearing on batter value. For example, Sano on the Twins has over .800 ops which is far above average but is hitting .220. Ops/obp are FAR more accurate statistics to look at for value added, not batting average.

      The Tigers are far from being mismanaged. There is little talent on this team to manage. All 5 free agents were duds including two starting middle infielders and two starting pitchers. As far as hitting, JaCoby Jones was hitting .150 late May so .245 isn’t as bad as it first appears. Still the Tigers are fielding the worst team in MLB.

    I’m starting to think that Jed Lowrie isn’t even a real person. Good thing his former agent, Brodie, gave him $20 million dollars to sit around.

      By not playing Lowrie is still a better move then 2 other Brodie moves. The Diaz Cano fiasco and the Familia idiocy. Both of those moves will destroy the Mets for years to come

        These are ALL positive moves for an unqualified, incompetent GM.

    Is the difference between JaCoby’s 2018 and 2019 DRS numbers because he played LF last year and CF this year?

      I’m assuming. It’s much easier to play LF than it is CF

        Christin Stewart in left not hitting at all…in the Power Explosion, no one hitting for any power.

        Lloyd Has To Go.

          So tired of McClendon messing up our hitters. He didn’t help when we were loaded with All-Stars, he’s certainly not helping with these developing youngsters. They only brought him back as Ausmus insurance. Brad’s gone, move on Lloyd.

        I always found CF easier but you have to have speed to play it

      He played both positions but ended up playing more games in CF than LF last year

    Quite telling that the stock photo used (above) for Lowrie is in an OAK uni and not Mets.

    Their 60-day Injured List has one Tommy John and two Tummy Aches. If only those two tummy aches didn’t cost $40 million this year ( well, probably much less after the insurance money comes back). But if i were the Mets insurance agent, I’d be happy because my commission would be going up as their premium goes up. Insurance companies aren’t stupid.

      The Mets are loving the Cespedes signing. It lets them say how high there payroll is without really spending 20 mill of that money

        And not having responsibility to reinvest insurance money. Instead it gets redirected to the Wilpon Dodger memorabilia fund.

      He is 21 years old and hasn’t even debuted yet. Not even close to the same comparison.
