6 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce woke up on Wednesday with a sore back and will likely sit out Thursday’s series opener in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. Of course, that doesn’t explain why he played on Wednesday afternoon against the Atlanta Braves with a sore back instead of simply sitting that one out. Bruce finished 0-for-3 with a walk in that one, but given how bad he’s been this year, his back issues would seem to be the last reason he had a rough day. Stay tuned for updates as to Bruce’s status. It’s unclear yet if he’ll miss more than just Thursday’s game.--John Smith
