Not only did the Mets lose two out of three to the NL Wild Card-leading Atlanta Braves, they may have lost their two most productive hitters in Daniel Murphy and Jose Reyes.
Murphy will miss the remainder of the 2011 campaign after suffering a torn MCL in his left knee in the top of the seventh inning of New York’s 6-5 loss to Atlanta on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field.
Murphy, who was playing second base, was injured while receiving a throw from catcher Ronny Paulino as Jose Constanza attempted to steal. Constanza, who went in with a hard feet-first slide, hit the bag awkwardly and his right leg appeared to bounce off the base and into Murphy’s left leg.
Murphy hopped in pain on his right leg before falling to the outfield grass and required assistance in getting off the field.
“He was in a lot of pain. He just said ‘get me off the field.’ That was all he kept saying,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “[David] Wright tried to get him calmed down, but you could tell he was hurting. These two [injuries] today are big. The minute you do feel sorry for yourselves is when you stop the focus, and we’re not going to stop the focus.”
Reyes exited the game in the bottom of the second inning in favor of pinch hitter Willie Harris after experiencing stiffness in his left hamstring. The Mets have not yet announced whether or not Reyes will require a stint on the DL for the second time in 2011, but he’s expected to miss a few games at the very least.
“Murph is certainly going to be disabled, and we’ll wait on Jose and see where we are. We need to see what level of injury [Reyes] has,” Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. “I think [Reyes’ injury] happened while running the ball out in the first inning and he wasn’t able to move on a play up the middle a little bit later.”
The injuries to Murphy and Reyes forced the Mets to make multiple substitutions and position changes over the course of Sunday’s loss against Atlanta. Scott Hairston made his first appearance at second base since 2008, and David Wright made his first career appearance at shortstop.
“You feel for [Murphy] because you know how hard he’s worked to get to this and you never want to see a guy in pain like that,” said Wright, who added that it was probably his first appearance at shortstop since high school.
“Hopefully, [Reyes’ injury] is nothing serious, and it’s just one of those things where he can take a few days off and get back out there. Obviously, his legs are his game, so he needs those to be healthy so he can go out there and do what he’s capable of doing.”
Murphy joins a long list of Mets who have landed on the disabled list in 2011 which also includes Reyes, Wright, Ike Davis, Jason Bay, Angel Pagan, Chris Young and Johan Santana.
“No, I haven’t [been on a team with as many injuries as the Mets]. It’s unfortunate for us having guys going down. We’ve been playing pretty much the whole season without David and without Ike, but nobody cares about that other than us as players,” Willie Harris said.
“Other guys have to go in there and do the job like [Justin] Turner did, like [Ruben] Tejada did, like Daniel did. It’s just one of those things where we have to pick up one another.”
Murphy had seemingly found his niche batting out of the No. 3 hole in New York’s lineup and had been one of the hottest hitters in baseball prior to the injury. He finishes the season with a .320 batting average, six home runs, 49 RBI and five steals.
“I was sick to my stomach for Murph. He seemed to think he was hurt pretty severely,” Collins said. “Every guy that went up and saw [the slide] said it was a just a good, clean slide.”
In a corresponding roster move, the Mets have promoted infielder Ruben Tejada from Triple-A, and he is expected to be available for Monday night’s 7:10 p.m. matchup against the San Diego Padres. Tejada hit .250 with 19 RBI in 168 during his first tour of duty with the Mets.
