  "account": "New York Mets pitcher Robert Stock's season was abruptly cut short on Wednesday due to numbness in his fingers. The 36-year-old right-hander, who had been making a successful comeback, was placed on the 15-day injured list. Stock had been scheduled to start the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles, but right-hander Xzavion Curry was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take his place. Additionally, reliever Daniel Duarte was also placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain. Stock's condition was attributed to a recent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery he underwent in March. He said he usually begins to feel numbness after throwing around 60 to 70 pitches in a game. Despite being on medication for the condition, Stock did not want to risk giving the Mets a short start after their bullpen accounted for 8 2/3 innings in their previous two games. Stock finished the season with a record of 1-3 and a 5.93 ERA in eight games for the Mets. This marks his first major league win since 2019. Stock expressed his disappointment at not being able to fulfill his role in the team's bullpen and hoped to be considered for a roster spot in the following season.",
