Mets' Nick Madrigal To Undergo MRI On Dislocated Left Shoulder

Nick Madrigal, the Mets' versatile infielder, suffered a dislocated left shoulder during today's Spring Training split-squad game against the Nationals. The injury occurred in the first inning when Madrigal, playing shortstop, had to awkwardly adjust his body to gather a deflected ground ball. He fell to the ground during his throw to first base, resulting in the dislocation. Despite the immediate concern, the full extent of Madrigal's injury won't be known until he undergoes an MRI.
​
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza informed reporters, including SNY's Andy Martino, that Madrigal will need the MRI to assess the severity of the dislocation. This injury is a significant setback for the veteran infielder, who will undoubtedly miss some time during the recovery process. Should the MRI reveal a more severe dislocation, it could potentially require surgery, potentially ending Madrigal's 2025 season prematurely. The Mets and their fans are anxiously awaiting the results, hoping for a quick and successful recovery for Madrigal.
