A. Rubin:
"Duda had a flare-up of discomfort in his lower back and has been advised by Los Angeles-based specialist Robert Watkins to remain idle for 30 days. Duda originally landed on the DL on May 23 with a stress fracture. Because Duda is making $6.725 million this season and is eligible for arbitration a final time this winter, he is a non-tender candidate. James Loney has proven a capable alternative to Duda. Sandy Alderson mentioned the possibility of asking an outfielder to prepare during the offseason to play first base in 2017. Michael Conforto and Jay Bruce would be the logical candidates."

Jay Bruce has played first a couple times when Votto was hurt and some in spring training.

Bartolo Colon was surprised A-Rod (.442 with 8 homers against him) was not in the lineup Thursday. "I always say that's my dad," Colon said through an interpreter,

No Gary Cohen in the booth this weekend--this is perhaps more jarring than any 2016 player injury so far.

Watched a chunk of yesterday's game and I don't think I'd ever heard a more miserable booth pair than whoever that was -- Cohen and Darling? It was almost "well I'll commit suicide if you will" "I'll totally commit suicide if you will, but it has to be at the same time."

In nine no-decisions this season, deGrom has a 1.92 ERA. Six times he has allowed no more than one run and failed to get a win. Familia has squandered three ninth-inning leads for deGrom, who has held the opposition to one run or fewer in each of his past four starts (0.65 ERA) and owns a 1.56 ERA since the All-Star break.

It would be a good time for the Mets to get on a roll. One good week and they would be back in the wild card mix.
Someone has to take out the Cardinals, those clowns neeed out of the playoffs.
Don't think Pittsburgh has the pitching depth and losing Stanton has got to hobble the Marlins.
