On Sunday, the Mets placed right-handed starter Paul Blackburn on the 15-day injured list with a right hand contusion.
Blackburn was scheduled to play catch on Sunday at Petco Park to see how he felt after taking a line drive off of his hand on Friday night. This forced him out of his latest start in the third inning, which led to X-Rays that were inconclusive., Blackburn shared that his light throwing session was not great as he is still experiencing a good amount of stiffness and soreness in his hand.
In the meantime, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that righty starter Tylor Megill is a possible candidate to replace Blackburn in the rotation.
