New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza delivered a concerning injury update on a Juan Soto's teammate and a crucial member of the team's pitching rotation, raising new doubts as the club prepares for its upcoming stretch of games.

The lefty left Saturday's game after throwing his ninth pitch. He signed a two-year deal with the Mets for $22 million in January.

Then, on his ninth pitch of the inning, a cutter that fell out of the strike zone for a ball, Minter pulled his elbow in, winching in pain. Mets trainers wasted no time in visiting Minter on the mound, and after a brief moment, the veteran reliever was headed back into the dugout, his head hanging as he left.
