Mets' Jose Siri Diagnosed with Fractured Tibia, Placed on Injured List

New York Mets center fielder Jose Siri has been diagnosed with a fractured left tibia after injuring himself by fouling a pitch off his leg during a game against the Athletics. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Siri will be placed on the injured list, though a specific timeline for his recovery hasn't been established. Initial X-rays were negative, but further testing revealed the fracture, and Siri expressed disappointment while remaining hopeful about a quick recovery. In Siri's absence, Tyrone Taylor is expected to step in as the regular center fielder, with options for veteran players like Brandon Nimmo or Luisangel Acuña also being considered. Siri's performance this season had been lackluster, hitting just .050 with one RBI before the injury. The Mets acquired Siri in the offseason, hoping he would bolster their defense in center field.
