PHILADELPHIA — New York Mets reliever Dedniel Núñez will be sidelined for the rest of the season with a right flexor injury, manager Carlos Mendoza said before Friday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 28-year-old rookie right-hander has a 2.31 ERA in 25 appearances but has pitched just once since July 23. Mendoza said Núñez would receive a PRP injection. In 35 innings, the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder struck out 48 and walked just eight. He earned one save.
