HOUSTON (AP) -Billy Wagner has a strained left forearm and will have his second MRI in two weeks, leaving the New York Mets without their closer and starter John Maine.
Maine was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. He left Monday’s game in Florida after 4 1-3 innings because of pain in his shoulder and was diagnosed Tuesday with a mild strain in his right rotator cuff.
Wagner said he felt pain in his forearm on Tuesday, when he earned his 27th save with a scoreless ninth in the Mets’ 4-1 win over Florida. He blew a save chance on Saturday night and said his arm felt strong, but he struggled to locate his pitches.
The Mets didn’t make a move with Wagner but the left-hander was unavailable for their game against Houston on Sunday.
