Catcher Brian Schneider was hospitalized April 24, 2008 in Manhattan with an infection to his left thumb. This happened just one day after he made his return to the lineup. His returned to the lineup from a three day absence from a bruised forearm. After all this appeared it left the Mets looking for a replacement and had those questioning what caused these injuries. At first, Schneider was said to undergo surgical procedure where the doctors would lance his thumb. But then there was a second opinion where doctors recommended antibiotics to be used. The Mets are thinking the worst and are saying that it will be hard for Schneider to avoid the disabled list. If surgery was issued, Schneider would be missing 3 weeks of games and practices. He was treated with antibiotics but on April 30, 2008 his condition became worse. It was said that Schneider had been bothered with his thumb since their series against the Cubs. Schneider’s had got so bad that he was sent to a specialist for hands. As of right now Schneider has lots of things to worry about. There is no update if he will make a full recovery and return to the game. The Mets are worried about if he will ever play again but I think the most important thing right now is to make sure Schneider is healthy.
