The Mets appeared to receive some good injury news Wednesday.
Marcus Stroman was removed from New York's matchup against the Indians at Citi Field in the fourth inning. He threw 62 pitches and surrendered one run on five hits before departing.
The 28-year-old right-hander, however, underwent an MRI which revealed left hamstring tightness, manager Mickey Callaway told reporters after the game. The team isn't worried about the injury, Callaway said.
