Story summary

Robert Stock, a 36-year-old right-handed pitcher for the New York Mets, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday due to numbness in his fingers. This condition is related to thoracic outlet syndrome surgery he had in March and typically sets in after about 60 or 70 pitches during a game. Stock’s season-ending injury means he will not be able to pitch again this year, but he is now taking medication for the issue. The Mets recalled Xzavion Curry from Triple-A Syracuse to replace him against the Baltimore Orioles at Citi Field. Additionally, right-handed reliever Daniel Duarte, who had a 2.12 ERA in 24 appearances this season, was also placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain, ending his season as well.
