Mets Place Outfielder Tyrone Taylor On Injured List With Hamstring Strain

The New York Mets placed outfielder Tyrone Taylor on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain, sidelining him until at least September 9. Taylor had been dealing with hamstring discomfort for several days before the move, and while he showed some recent improvement, the exact severity of the strain remains unclear. Taylor had been a key defensive player and was gaining momentum offensively, having hit 11-for-30 with four doubles and seven RBIs in August. To fill the void, the Mets recalled infielder Jared Young from Triple-A Syracuse, though his major league offensive production has been inconsistent. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Taylor’s return timeline depends on his response to treatment, emphasizing the injury is not expected to be season-ending. The Mets continue to manage their outfield rotation amid ongoing challenges, especially with Cedric Mullins' underwhelming offensive performance since joining the team.
