Smith went on the injured list with a right elbow sprain Tuesday, two days after he exited after getting two outs in the ninth inning of a 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs because he had a hard time getting loose. The 30-year-old was pressed into action and tried warming up on the field after closer Edwin Diaz was ejected for having an illegal substance on his hand. Smith said an MRI revealed "...some pretty significant damage." He is scheduled for a second opinion with Dr. Keith Meister but said he expects to undergo either Tommy John surgery or UCL repair with an internal brace. Smith missed the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. "Just sucks, you know?" said Smith, whose voice broke as tears formed in his eyes as he spoke before the Mets' series opener against the Houston Astros. "My second one. Been with the Mets for a long time and I love this organization. They've done a lot for me. And obviously, going into free agency, it's a tough time for this to happen. There's never a good time for it to happen, but this really stings." Smith, who spent five weeks on the injured list with a sore right shoulder earlier this season, said he began feeling stiffness in the elbow while pitching against the Cubs on June 21. He felt better Saturday but said the discomfort returned quickly Sunday night. "I kind of knew something was going on and I just tried to pitch through it," Smith said. "I don't think the warmup had anything to do with the outcome. I think it was already kind of decided." Smith was 1-1 with two saves and a 3.06 ERA this season and is 12-13 with a 3.48 ERA and five saves in 191 career games, all with the Mets. He was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Lucas Duda on July 27, 2017, and debuted on June 23, 2018, making him the second-longest tenured player on the team behind left fielder Brandon Nimmo. "Not good news -- it's hard, obviously, because of who he is not only as a player but as a person, what he means to this organization," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. "This is a professional. He went down early in the year, got back and was always available, always wanted to take the ball, always wanted to help the team." Smith is the fourth key Mets reliever on the shelf. Díaz is two games into a 10-game suspension for his ejection while Sean Reid-Foley was placed on the injured list last Saturday with a right shoulder impingement. Left-hander Brooks Raley is out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure on May 29. "We're going to need guys to step up," Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said. 3a820befbd8c8c24a18bbf8512d09550 3b89d10265691e5a0b6674d24d071cf5 82cec40730f27ad5fa31a6fb36c32f86 41320ea13c16eafd3e18f1fd7ace06d0 F0b3b01eb246b21fbc650ead6c2a32ff 958aa8d84401ae87f31533478c314fdf 536dc9b1f0f28c61648a13ac216cd923 312b97c6557adcbbcceca40de43c676a 3c95de659e2f941de00ad1c11b6e4605 Img001 Eb5367f21883eb809d324e67b64cdb47 Ccdfcf32a258c68223727a797f1bed2b 30db735d D3b5 4193 A0eb 243603e712d3 1.47cbfd87b9cfdd3cf8ddf3de159ee25c Roma Sleeping 01 1 96360842 266912228016392 1228445712778264576 N 711f241d4da4026c651668a1f26a66a3 223ff394176595d993a3cb43ebfa9115 3137286dae647da3d224ed4391fb3b7f 0fcbf296355652d3baf03748e151eba2 Nails 23f77919302562397a2b29d9ae003eaf E682b09dc205b83ca72fbefdaa74e6f1 5bc3cc46ead046c81661438d1e17f171 97b2fa4b9718afdb615403676024fe75 Efb24a882544eec40af88952694d6755 39b7a44bf9fb86e0ed8cd47bf78f0e6a F52ab043bf5a3539f3fc627d52eaefc4 1941feeac103190960f58fb8d1b640bc Baa7a06e1f9cc2139700bcb90d672137 2406612bb55fb60981bd30ec99eda75f Dabdac6837ae7ec2ad4f3f22612c7aab Bf24a5a95ca5efe8ede3de660109cad3 77740328cad1f34c97b9fa277d0a9489 A413ae94aaaab83924ebd794e55a3b7e 186535fdf3db60902553d1d06100796a
