Mets Place Robert Gsellman On 10-Day Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | September 9, 2020 at 3:05pm CDT

3:05pm: The Mets don’t expect Gsellman to return this year, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News tweets.

2:45pm: The Mets have placed right-hander Robert Gsellman on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured rib.  Right-hander Drew Smith was called up from the alternate training site.

While the exact severity of Gsellman’s injury isn’t known, a rib fracture would likely indicate that his 2020 campaign is over with less than three weeks remaining in the regular season.  The right-hander already missed time earlier this season with a triceps injury and didn’t make his season debut until August 8.

The injuries have undoubtedly contributed to a rough year for Gsellman on the mound.  Working as both a reliever and as a starter, Gsellman has a 9.64 ERA over 14 innings, with almost as many walks (eight) as strikeouts (nine).  Gsellman has also been tagged for four homers over his 14 innings for an ungainly 2.6 HR/9.  A big piece of that damage came in last night’s game, when Gsellman allowed six runs to the Orioles over 3 2/3 innings.

Gsellman broke into the big leagues as a starter, though transitioned to relief work in 2018-19 and was only called back to starting this season to help fill the gaps left by the Mets’ many rotation injuries.  The 27-year-old is pitching in his fifth MLB season and will be arbitration-eligible for the second time this winter.  Since he isn’t likely to earn much of a raise over his $1.225MM salary from 2020, it wouldn’t cost the Mets much to bring Gsellman back and hope for better health in 2021.

      Ribs are pretty easy to break

        Tell me about it. I had a gentleman in a police cruiser t-bone me at 100 mph. Busted a bunch of ’em.

      If anything, I’d have expected to see “whiplash.”

    Gsellman has been terrible. He should be released.

    Still no MetsFan22 sighting? Looks like he’s abandoned the Mets this season. I for one am shocked! (sarcasm)

        Yes, I considered that. But I don’t think he ever did anything to get banned…unless being a blind homer gets a person banned.

        Also, I have called him out a few times because he has popped in after a couple of Mets wins when it looked like they could go on a run, but then he has re-disappeared when they’ve gone back to staying down in the standings.

        Also, his homer style of posting is easy to identify and he would definitely make his presence known under a new name if he were here. He can’t help himself.

        I think it’s pretty safe to say that he’s bailed out on the Mets until he sees that they can win. Honestly, it’s not a surprise to me because I said that the ones who are the biggest homers who talk a lot of garbage are usually the quickest to bail on a team when things aren’t going well. Essentially, the biggest homers who make their presence known to throughout a board, usually are overcompensating for the times that they don’t root for the team because they aren’t real fans – just seasonal or fairweather fans. He fit this to a tee.

    Put him on the 10.
    Instead of the 45.
    Which would allow another prospect 2 weeks of workouts.

    But, MiLB per diem.

    Mets keep bringing same pitchers back like Smith, Strickland & they keep making a bad bullpen worse. Don’t they have a different pitcher in Brooklyn to bring back. Killome wasn’t that bad. What took them so long to bring in Ramirez who’s been best of the bunch.

      Smith was good last year and has great minor league numbers. I’d give him a chance.

      The bullpen isn’t even the problem. Diaz has fixed himself somewhat. It’s the starting pitching.
