Hunter (back) may not pitch again this season, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-May with a back injury, and he was shifted to the 60-day injured list in June. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Hunter apparently hasn't made much progress in his recovery and will have a tough time rejoining the Mets during the second half.
