NL Injury Notes: Lamet, deGrom, McNeil, Sims, Bote

By TC Zencka | July 25, 2021 at 2:20pm CDT

The Padres are planning for an early August return to the hill for Dinelson Lamet, though he’s likeliest to come back in the bullpen, per Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Said Lamet about a possible role change, “At the end of the day, the rotation is some place I want to get back to, but I’m here to help the team. I’m here to help the team win. So, if that’s what my role is right now and that’s what I need to do to help, of course I’m going to do it.” Lamet’s primary concern is being available for the playoffs, where he could prove a vital weapon as a multi-inning shutdown reliever.

  • Jacob deGrom threw off a mound, and he’s feeling good, per MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo (via Twitter). deGrom was placed on the injured list with forearm tightness, one of many seemingly minor maladies that have derailed his epic campaign at various points this season. There’s not yet an exact timetable for his return.
  • In other Mets’ news, Jeff McNeil will miss his third consecutive game with left leg fatigue, though he will be available off the bench, which is better than the previous two days, per Tim Healey of Newsday (via Twitter). The Mets hope that McNeil will be back in the lineup tomorrow.
  • Lucas Sims will head to Triple-A on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, per Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer (via Twitter). Sims has seven saves, but just a 5.02 ERA in 28 appearances.
  • The Cubs have activated David Bote from the injured list and optioned Trevor Megill to Triple-A, per Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune (via Twitter). Bote started today’s game at third base, pushing Patrick Wisdom to left.

    “Left leg fatigue”? Wow my leg falls asleep all the time, but I never considered it an athletic injury before.

      Maybe because you are not an athlete and your leg falls asleep from sitting on the toilet

        I gotta agree with Monkey. Left leg fatigue? Why are athletes turning into injury machines?

        Monkeys trying to break the world record for longest time spent sitting on the toilet. No need to besmirch them trying to get their name in the record books.

        Well… yeah. If I was an athlete, do you think I’d be hanging out here?

      This is the code the Mets use when they don’t want to give out info.

    You really have to love Lamet’s attitude. The Padres FO obviously wants to limit his work load and while others may kick up a fuss about being moved to a lesser roll to do that, Lamet is all about helping the team.

    Lamet to the backend of the bullpen could be a huge help. When healthy he’s had a bunch of success as a 2 pitch pitcher even as a starter and that fastball slider combo should play up in the pen too.

    If him and Strahm are going to come back to reinforce the pen they can focus on getting another SP at the deadline.
