NEW YORK -- When David Peterson sustained a right oblique strain earlier this month, the Mets knew he would be sidelined for several weeks. They could not have predicted what would come next.
Just as he was recovering from the oblique strain, Peterson injured his right foot while walking through the clubhouse on Friday evening, sustaining a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal that will require surgery. The Mets won’t have a timetable for Peterson’s return until after the operation, but it’s possible he has thrown his final pitch this season.
“I don’t know,” Mets manager Luis Rojas said. “I can’t give you an answer there.”
