Mets Jason Vargas has fracture in non-pitching hand Jason Vargas second stint in New York isnt off to an ideal start. The Mets left-hander has been diagnosed with a fracture in his non-pitching hand and is scheduled to visit a specialist later Sunday, the team announced. Vargas suffered the injury when he tried to catch a line drive in a minor league game on Saturday. Given the 4-6 week recovery timetable, Mets manager Mickey Callaway doesnt think Vargas will miss the start of the season but indicated some changes to the teams rotation will be necessary. Vargas, 35, agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $16 million with the Mets last month that also includes a club option for 2020.
