Benson on the DL
Looks like I made an accidental prophecy this morning regarding Kris Benson‘s injury. I mentioned this morning how injuries like Benson’s strained muscle can turn into nagging ones over the course of the season if not treated properly. Rather than pitch through it the Mets decided to put Benson on the DL (hence treating the injury seriously). Let’s hope that a little rest followed by some careful rehab early in the season will result in a healthy Benson for the rest of the season.
In the meantime the Mets will need someone to fill Benson’s slot in the rotation. The smart money says it’ll be Aaron Heilman. If I had it my way it would be recently traded Matt Ginter. Benson’s turn won’t come up until Saturday so we’ll have to wait until the end of the week comes before seeing who it will be. There also remains the possibility that Benson’s spot could be skipped if there’s a rainout between now and then.
