Mets' Robert Stock Placed on Injured List with Season-Ending Injury

Robert Stock's season ended on Wednesday as he was placed on the injured list due to finger numbness. However, an MRI revealed that the issue is related to poor circulation in his hand, and he has begun treatment with medication. Earlier this season, Stock underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. He was scheduled to start against the Orioles but was scratched to avoid overextending the bullpen. Xzavion Curry was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take his place in the rotation. Stock, 36, finished the season with a 5.93 ERA over eight appearances, including seven starts. He expressed his desire to be recognized as a major league pitcher, stating, "I have proven that my name should be in consideration for being a major league pitcher." He also shared his ambition to pitch for the next two decades in Major League Baseball. Stock noted that aside from the circulation issue, his arm appeared healthy based on imaging results. In related news, Daniel Duarte was placed on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain, while Jefry Yan was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Carson Benge made history by becoming one of only two rookies in franchise history to achieve at least 40 extra-base hits and 20 stolen bases in a season.
