Jose Siri's left leg injury has taken a serious turn, revealing a fractured tibia after initial X-rays were deemed negative. The Mets now face a critical decision regarding their center-field position.

Manager Carlos Mendoza has indicated that he will consult with president of baseball operations David Stearns on how to fill Siri's spot. Until a more permanent solution is found, Tyrone Taylor will likely see increased playing time, having already played three games since Siri's injury. The Mets' outfield depth provides options, including the possibility of utilizing Brandon Nimmo again, who was the primary center fielder last season.

Another potential candidate is Luisangel Acuña, who played center field at Triple-A last season, and the team hopes to develop him for this role rapidly. This situation complicates the Mets’ offseason plans, especially considering Siri's struggles at the plate early in the season, collecting just one hit in his first ten games.
