The New York Mets expect to place outfielder Jose Siri on the injured list soon after he suffered a broken tibia over the weekend.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that the team wants to wait until after Tuesday's game at the Minnesota Twins before making anything official.
'The reason is Griffin Canning will not make the start (Wednesday). He's under the weather a little bit and feeling weak,' Mendoza said. 'So we want to give him an extra day or so.
'So we just gotta get through today and instead of inserting a sixth starter on Friday, most likely will be tomorrow. We just gotta get through today's game and we will have to make a couple of moves here.'
Siri was carted off the field Saturday after fouling a ball off his leg on the first pitch of his first at-bat in an eventual 3-1 loss at the Athletics.
While an initial X-ray was negative, a follow-up MRI on Monday revealed a fractured tibia.
'It's obviously disappointing whenever something like that happens, but we're not going to get too ahead of ourselves, probably get it reevaluated within the next week,' Siri said through an interpreter. 'I'm a quick healer so hopefully something good can come out of it.'
The Mets acquired Siri from Tampa Bay in November. The outfielder has struggled at the plate this season, going 1-for-20 in 10 games and hitless in his last 16 at-bats.
