Cionel Pérez hits IL with left forearm strain
The Mets reliever, recently drawing trade interest, is sidelined with a forearm injury that removes him from both the roster and trade market.
Mets left-hander Cionel Pérez has been placed on the injured list due to a left forearm strain. Pérez had been pitching well enough to surface as a fringe trade candidate before the injury. The forearm strain is a notable concern for a pitcher, as such injuries can carry extended recovery timelines. His absence opens roster spots filled by right-handers Jonathan Pintaro and Xzavion Curry.
