New York Mets pitcherNoah Syndergaard is headed to the disabled list after contracting hand R.A. Dickey Jersey , foot and mouth disease, according to James Wagner of the New York Times.Mets assistant general managerJohn Riccoexpects Syndergaard to miss at least one start, per Wagner.The Mayo Clinic defines the disease as acontagious viral infection that "is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet" and is common in children. Wagner notes the team believes the pitcher contracted it while working at a youth camp during the All-Star break.Injuries have plagued the right-hander over the last two seasons. He was limited to just seven starts in 2017 because of a partially torn lat muscle. This year, he made it about two months before running into problems, as a strained ligament in his finger sidelined him for more than a month.Of course, Syndergaard is hardly the only Met to be bitten by the injury bug. Jay Bruce http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-scott-ka...mir-jer sey , Todd Frazier and Yoenis Cespedes are all among the New York players who have been hampered by various ailments this season.Regardless of how the team's offense is doing, New York has a chance to contend as long as Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom are healthy.Syndergaardposted a 3.24 ERA in 24 starts as a rookie in 2015 and had sub-3.00 ERAs in each of the past two seasons. In 2018, the 25-year-old is 6-1with a 2.89ERA, 1.25WHIP and 83 strikeouts in 74.2innings.Without Syndergaard, deGrom and Steven Matz will face pressure to carry the rotation. Not only that, but Zack Wheeler will need to regain his pre-Tommy John 2014 form (3.54 ERA in 32 starts) Kurt Suzuki Jersey , while Jason Vargas will now have to show why the Mets gave him a two-year, $16 million deal in the offseason.New York currently sits at 40-56and in lastplace in the National League East.

Martinez stood behind a 2013 Instagram post that attributed a fake quote to Adolf Hitler.The post included a picture of Hitler that read: "To conquer a nation, First disarm it's citizens."TheNew York Daily News' Kate Feldman provided a screenshot of the post:Kate Feldman kateefeldmanI just...what... Jf1gxgzOpq"I posted it," Martinez said Tuesday of the story, per USA Today's Scott Boeck. "I love my country. I love this country. I stand by the Constitution and I stand by the Second Amendment and it's something that I take pride in. It's something that I'll back up.At the time I posted that, the Second Amendment at the time was definitely a hot topic.The point of it wasn't to offend anybody."Chad Amaral of Boston 25 News shared Martinez's full comments from Tuesday:Chad Amaral Chad_AmaralJD Martinez on controversial Instagram post quot;Im here to play baseball guys http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-dansby-s...son-jer sey , Im not a politician.... Im here to help us win...It was something that happened 6 years ago....thats why I dont talk about politics I dont want this distraction.quot; OmkfDElaNrChad Amaral Chad_AmaralJD Martinez addresses controversial Instagram post quot;The point of it wasnt to offend anyone, as most of you guys know Im Cuban American and most of my family was run out of Cuba by a brutal dictator.quot; BfgpbLESPYThe post predates Martinez's tenure with the Red Sox, which started this offseason when he signed afive-year, $110 millioncontract. Still, Red Sox team president Sam Kennedy told theBoston Herald'sSteve Buckleythe team had addressed the situation with Martinez.Kennedy said the Red Sox "work with our players regularly to reinforce that their social media interactions can be interpreted in ways that are unintended."Controversy about his past social media habits aside, Martinez is having an incredibly successful debut season in Boston.He's batting.338 with 38 home runs Ozzie Albies Jersey , 110 RBI and a .656 slugging percentage, and his 5.4 WAR is tied for seventh-best among MLB position players, perFanGraphs.The Red Sox need that production to continue as they look to remain on top in the American League East and avoid the wild-card game in the postseason.
