Mets reliever Clay Holmes suffered a fractured fibula after being hit by a comebacker during the game, manager Carlos Mendoza said. Mendoza added Holmes will be out "for a long time" and called losing him a "huge blow," noting Holmes had been one of the team's most consistent late-inning arms. Holmes' absence forces the Mets to reshuffle the bullpen rotation and weakens their reliability in tight, late-game situations. The injury removes a proven high-leverage option the Mets relied on this season, making short-term roster moves and matchups more critical for New York.
