Justin Hagenman Placed on 60-Day IL With Rib Fracture

The Mets have placed right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman on the 60-day injured list due to a rib fracture. The injury comes as a surprise, as Hagenman had been competing for a roster spot after posting a 4.56 ERA over 23.2 innings with the club last season. He will be ineligible to return to major league action for at least two months, effectively sidelining him through the start of the regular season.
