Mets' Grae Kessinger sidelined by significant hamstring injury; surgery possible

Mets infielder Grae Kessinger is sidelined with a “pretty significant” hamstring injury, with surgery on the table and an 8–12 week recovery timeline. If he avoids surgery, he could return around Memorial Day as a depth option; with Lindor, Polanco, Semien, Bichette, and Baty starting regularly, the Mets’ utility-infielder job will be scarce and competitive, with Brujan, Cluff, Arroyo and Mauricio among spring contenders for the bench role.
