Mets injury news: David Wright and Michael Cuddyer suffer injuries

During the bizarre, Harvey Day win for the Mets earlier Tuesday, the team saw two of their top players suffer injuries.

In his second at-bat, Michael Cuddyer received a fastball from David Buchanan that struck him on his left hand. Cuddyer grimaced immediately and was taken out of the ball game.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis took his place in left field for the remainder of the game.

Moving forward to the bottom of the eighth with Lucas Duda at the plate, David Wright stole second, but slid awkwardly. He got on his feet gingerly, but after a few pitches to Nieuwenhuis, took himself out of the game. Wright told reporters after the game that he pulled himself instead of risking playing through it and worsening the injury.

Anthony Recker, who pinch ran for Wright, made his first ever appearance at third base in the top of the ninth.

Following the game, Cuddyer, whose X-rays came back negative, spoke to reporters and told them that going off how he feels, he would be able to play tomorrow. He also told them that he doesn’t think his injury is serious.

Wright, however, may be looking at a trip to the disabled list. Preliminary reports are calling his ailment a pulled right hamstring and Wright said in the postgame that he will have an MRI on Tuesday morning to get it confirmed.
