News: Church goes on DL

by Matthew Cerrone on June 9th, 2008 at 7:28 pm

Three weeks later, the Mets have finally placed Ryan Church on the 15–day disabled list.

i haven’t heard yet, but i assume the corresponding move will be to activate Moises Alouor call up a fourth catcher, because, you know, you can never have too many catchers

what a mess this situation with church was…the thing is, i’m not even sure who is to blame for all of this…it’s probably equal parts medical, Omar Minaya and church, who were probably at odds with needing him to play and rest at the same time

i just hope he gets better…not from a baseball sense, but for his own well being

The transaction is retroactive to last Friday, meaning he will be eligible to return to action around June 20.

However, according to the team, Church will not be activated until he is ‘symptom free.’
