Mets Pitcher's Comeback Season Cut Short by Numb Fingers
17 Sep
Summary
- Robert Stock's comeback season ended due to finger numbness.
- Daniel Duarte's season also concluded with a hamstring strain.
- Stock hopes to be in contention for a roster spot next year.
Robert Stock's promising comeback season with the New York Mets has been abruptly halted. The 36-year-old right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to numbness in his fingers, a condition linked to thoracic outlet syndrome surgery he underwent in March.
The numbness typically occurred after Stock threw around 60 to 70 pitches. He cited team needs as his reason for withdrawing from his scheduled start, not wanting to risk a short outing after recent bullpen exertion.
In a related move, the Mets also placed reliever Daniel Duarte on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, effectively ending his season. Duarte had posted a 2.12 ERA in 24 appearances.
Stock, who finished with a 5.93 ERA in eight games for the Mets, expressed optimism about his future, stating his desire to contend for a roster spot next year and prove his major league readiness.
