Jul 24 Jay Cohen, of MLB.com, reports New York Mets CL Billy Wagner earned his second save in as many days Thursday, July 24. It was Wagner's 26th save of the season. KFFL


Jul 23 LHP Billy Wagner, diagnosed with a muscle spasm by an MRI exam Tuesday, returned Wednesday night to get the save against Philadelphia. He threw a perfect inning for the save. "I wish I had pitched (Tuesday) night after seeing what the bullpen went through," Wagner said. Yahoo! Sports


Jul 23 Wagner was available to pitch for the New York Mets on Wednesday night against Philadelphia after missing the previous game with a sore left shoulder.

Advice: Wagner played long toss from about 250 feet and threw in the bullpen before Wednesday night's game to test his shoulder. "I'm going tonight,'' he said about 75 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. ``Give you all something to write about."

Jul 23 Wagner (muscle spasms in left shoulder) threw a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up the save in the Mets' 6-3 win over the Phillies Wednesday.

Recommendation: The Mets floundered without their closer Tuesday, with four relievers giving up six runs to blow a 5-2 lead. Wagner declared declared himself available Wednesday after testing his sore left shoulder before the game by playing long toss from about 250 feet and throwing off a bullpen mound. With a quick turnaround to a 12:10 start Thursday, it will be interesting to see if the Mets go to Wagner again should a save situation arise.
