If you have any link tips, suggest them to @Astromets31 on twitter and I’ll add them in.

Check out yesterday’s results here.

Taking a look at the Mets minors DL situation to start 2018:

- Las Vegas: OF Kevin Kaczmarski, DH/1B Matt Oberste, and C Jeff Glenn start the year on the DL.

- Binghamton: RHP Joshua Torres, UT Nick Sergakis, and RHP Ricky Knapp start the year on the DL.

- St. Lucie: INF Colby Woodmansee (hip surgery) and RHP Jordan Humphreys (Tommy John Surgery) are expected to miss the year, RHP Michael Gibbons and RHP Jeff Diehl start the year on the DL

- Columbia: OF Wagner Lagrange starts the year on the DL.

- No roster yet: LHP David Peterson has been held back in XST with a minor arm injury but could join Columbia before April ends. RHP Bryce Hutchinson is out for the year. RHP Colin Holderman is shut down ~~for now~~ for the year with TJS. SS Dylan Snypes will be out awhile after a recent shoulder surgery. Haven’t heard anything on C Ali Sanchez, LHP Taylor Henry, or LHP Seth Davis (missed all of 2017). Alex Palsha was listed on the Bingo roster but he has been moved to the Brooklyn roster (AKA, he's in XST) - no info on him but I'd expect him to join the pen in St. Lucie or Binghamton soonish.

- OF Arnaldo Berrios, LHP Ben Griset, and INF Vinny Siena were reportedly cut before the season started, and C Jose Maria retired.

- I’m sure there are other guys I’m not thinking of yet who are likely being held back in Extended Spring Training or have an undisclosed injury, so I’ll try to update with any new info I see.
