Mets Morning News: Mets lose again, Wheeler reaction, Atchison to the DL, Mateo undergoes Tommy John

It was easy to forget that the Mets aren't a very good team on Tuesday, as the dynamic duo of Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler left us imagining what could be in years to come. Unfortunately, it will be the weekend before either of them is good to go again, so it was back to the Mets we've come to know and love on Wednesday. They lost 5-3 in what was generally a poorly played game of baseball, the full box score can be found here.

There was a roster move made yesterday, as Scott Atchison was placed on the DL with Andrew Brown being called up to replace him. Luis Mateo was also shut down yesterday, he'll be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Grant Brisbee had a piece about Zack Wheeler and the Mets young starting pitchers. Grant is always worth a read, and he really needs to write about the Mets more often. Hopefully the young pitching the Mets have coming through the system gives him plenty of reason to do so.
