The Mets placed Ridings (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings is still working his way back from a shoulder injury that limited him to just two minor-league rehab appearances in 2022, and though he was expected to pitch in a Grapefruit League game at some point, that never came to fruition before spring training. The Mets are now classifying his injury as a lat strain, but it's unclear whether he suffered any sort of setback with the shoulder issue he dealt with a season ago.
