The New York Mets have been without some of their key players for the past few games, with the most recent being Luis Robert Jr., as he's dealing with lower back tightness . Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that the injured list could be in play for him, and it looks like that's where he's headed , according to Chelsea Janes of SNY.

"Hearing Luis Robert Jr. likely headed to the IL today, per person familiar with his situation. Joins Lindor and Polanco on a growing list," Janes wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Mendoza said that before Robert received the MRI that was concern, just like any other time a player has to get tests.
"Every time you send someone for an MRI, you're always concerned. … We're doing everything in our power to keep him on the field, and hopefully this is just a minor thing that we're just dealing with for a couple of days and he's back out there soon," Mendoza said.
This makes matters worse for the Mets, as they already placed Francisco Lindor on IL due to a calf injury. There has not been a clear timetable for his return, but it seems like he'll be out for at least another month, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

"The Mets have not provided a timetable for Francisco Lindor 's calf strain, but are privately expecting him to be out until weeks into June," Nightengale wrote.
The Mets have not played well this season, as they are currently 10-20 and in last place in the NL East.
