Stokes Injures Hammy


Adam Rubin - NY Daily News is reporting that Met reliever Brian Stokes injured his right hamstring, leaving him unable to work off a mound. Downplaying the severity, Stokes said, "It didn't pop or anything."

Stokes, who is expected to make the Met bullpen out of Spring Training, had a solid year for the Mets after being called up on August 9, 2008. Out of options, if Stokes does not make the Met roster, he must clear through waivers before being re-assigned to the Mets minor league affiliate in Buffalo.

Chance of Stokes passing through waivers is slim at best.
