Mets Prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong To Undergo Shoulder Surgery

By Steve Adams | May 18, 2021 at 1:49pm CDT

The Mets’ injury woes continued this week, as the team announced Tuesday that top outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong will undergo surgery on his right shoulder “for a GLAD lesion (glenoid labral articular disruption).” Crow-Armstrong, according to the Mets’ press release, underwent an MRI this week, which “revealed a tear of the labrum as well as injury to the articular cartilage of the shoulder.”

The 19-year-old Crow-Armstrong wouldn’t have been a viable option for the Mets’ banged-up outfield in 2021 anyway, but it’s nevertheless a notable setback to the 2020 first-round pick’s development. He appeared in six games of Class-A ball in 2021, going 10-for-24 with a pair of doubles to begin his professional career. That limited sample will now be the only experience he gets under his belt for the 2021 season. The Mets have yet to announce a formal timeline on his recovery, but a surgery of this nature surely won’t be something from which he can return in just a few months’ time.

Crow-Armstrong becomes the second high-profile Mets prospect now slated for major surgery, joining 2019 draftee Matt Allan, who is out for the year due to Tommy John surgery. Both players rank among the Mets’ top six farmhands on the organizational rankings at Baseball America, MLB.com and FanGraphs.

    It’s contagious. Everyone is getting injured on the Mets at every level.

    It’s sad. I guess his arm really wasn’t that strong. On a serious note, this is the most prolific injury barrage I’ve ever seen. Wishing Pete a speedy recovery.

    I hope he’s going to be alright. On another note, sounds like the injury from the kid in ROOKIE OF THE YEAR whose mom is from LITTLE BIG LEAGUE. Sweet nostalgia.

      Hernandez, if I’m not mistaken, had his knee replaced last year. He’s good to go!

    Is this a bad injury? I don’t know much about torn labrums. It was his non throwing arm.

      If he’s getting Tommy John, it’s probably bad, bud.

        It’s not TJS. And more importantly, not his throwing arm. I’ve had a torn labrum, and while not fun, surgery isn’t always required depending on the extent of the tear. For athletes however, it’s recommended since they weight train and his young age.

      After having surgery for my torn labrum at 33 years old, I was able to throw a ball harder and more accurately than I ever had in my life. 8 years passed w/out issue.
