The Mets have been hit with another piece of bad news amid their difficult stretch over the last two weeks. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters on Tuesday that left-hander Sean Manaea experienced a setback in his rehab back from a right-oblique injury that has kept him from making his season debut.

The Sean Manaea news could have been worse, but as the Mets continue to navigate a pitching staff that has been snarled by injury, short starts, and bullpen overuse, even a perceived minor setback can have a major impact.
