Cuddyer received a cortisone shot Sunday to address his ailing wrist, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The shot is expected to require 24-to-48 hours to take effect, likely meaning that Cuddyer will miss the first two games of the Mets' series with the Nationals that begins Monday. With Lucas Duda on the DL and Daniel Murphy also day-to-day with an injury, the Mets were a bit shorthanded on first base options for Sunday's game, eventually settling on utility man Kelly Johnson for the start at the position.
