Lagares' elbow injury could be a long-term issue and will be monitored by the Mets this year, Mike Vorkunov of The Star-Ledger reports. Lagares is still good to go as far as playing time goes, but this definitely makes him a riskier asset for owners and the Mets. If anything, this will hurt him in the field and won't significantly impact his more important fantasy values (batting average, stolen bases), so this isn't a big concern. This would only hurt him if it flares up and forces him out of regular play.
