NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mets catcher James McCann will be sidelined for approximately six weeks after he broke a bone in his left wrist. The Mets say McCann needs surgery to repair his broken left hamate bone. The 31-year-old McCann was placed on the 10-day injured list, and catcher Patrick Mazeika was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. New York is off to a 22-11 start, matching the Los Angeles Dodgers for best record in the National League, despite injuries to ace Jacob deGrom and relievers Sean Reid-Foley and Trevor May.
