Mets TV broadcast says Jenrry Mejia's elbow was barking, rendering him unavailable.

pick up Jeurys Familia ASAP

[gcstomp]

Geez, no. I have him as a cheap closer in 2 leagues.

[virgonomic]

Familia went around 25 mins ago in both leagues. One guy dropped Benoit for him. I beat him to Grilli yesterday so no harm, no foul.

Who's next in line after Familia?

[BigJonEmpire]

Black and eventually Bobby Parnell I guess.

though Carlyle got the save today...

I also have two shares of Mejia. In one league, I have to decide by noon tomorrow to keep him at $9 or Familia at $5. Ugh. In the other league, I just submitted the keeper list yesterday.

Because Familia came in earlier. Just happenstance.

And Dane, you gotta go with Familia. Regardless of the Mejia injury, he'll be the closer sooner rather than later, and Parnell still lurks.

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess in that league, if it works out that way (Mejia is seriously injured and Familia actually is the replacement), it's a boon for me because I end up with $4 extra at draft on Friday.

Allegedly, the issue is inflammation, and not structural. However, others have stated that was the initial diagnosis for Wheeler, last summer.

It's never structural with the Mets medical team. Always just a flesh wound.

[joncarlos]

Yeah, they did such a bang-up job with Wheeler, what could possibly go wrong?

Mejia placed on DL retroactive to April 5.
