Health: Angel Pagan is not Rambo

Angel Pagan will have an MRI today on his left shoulder, which he jammed in a seat after flipping head over feet into the stands while trying to catch a pop up in foul ground in the first inning of yesterday’s game.

pagan stayed in the game for two more innings, but told reporters that he was in a bit of pain…the best part of the play was afterwards, when he watched the replay on the center field scoreboard and laughed out loud after seeing itthe LA fans even cheered for him after the replay…imagine that

Pagan, regarding the injury, after the game:

“Everything happened really quickly. My shoulder got stuck in one of the seats. All my weight went down and my shoulder got pulled back…I really have faith that it’s nothing bad, nothing cracked…It felt like it dislocated and came back again…I couldn’t feel my arm, so I was kind of scared…You do anything to stay in the game, but you can’t be Rambo.”

you know, if the Mets really want to promote both Ramon Castro and Matt Wise for this weekend, they could put pagan on the disabled list, buying themselves a bit more time
