Drew Smith, the New York Mets' right-hander, has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow injury. This decision comes after Smith's recent issues with forearm soreness, which he developed while playing catch during the last two days.

Injury Details and Initial Concerns

Manager Carlos Mendoza revealed that Smith had imaging testing to establish the source of his problem. The prognosis verified a sprain, however the exact degree is unknown. As a result, Smith will be out for at least two weeks.

"Doctors are gathering more information, and we will know more with the next step here, but, obviously, he's got that," Mendoza said after the Mets' 12-2 victory on Wednesday. "Unfortunate. Feel for him."

Mendoza declined to comment on the potential of surgery, saying, "We'll see what we got in the next couple of days."

Incident That Caused the Injury

Smith's current circumstance resulted from an unexpected outing in Chicago on Sunday night. Edwin Diaz was dismissed for violating foreign substance bans, therefore he was asked to warm up quickly. Smith struggled to relax during his outing, which was cut short when he conceded a single to Dansby Swanson.

Smith acknowledged trouble warming up during that outing, citing the unexpected need to replace the ejected All-Star closer.

Seasonal Performance and Impact

Smith, 30, has been a consistent pitcher for the Mets, compiling a 3.06 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 19 outings after returning from a shoulder ailment earlier in the season. His absence will be felt in the Mets' bullpen as they work through this spell without him.

Following Smith's placement on the IL, the Mets have recalled right-hander Ty Adcock from Triple-A Syracuse. Adcock will provide more bullpen support in Smith's absence.
