Josh Edgin felt the pain in his left elbow. And the Mets reliever was dealt a double hit: he suffers from both a bone spur and tendinitis.
"From what I've been told it's both. It's a bone spur, I don't know exactly where but it's not affecting the tendon," said Edgin, who will not accompany the team on its trip to Miami and Cincinnati but will be examined by doctors instead.
"The elbow's pretty sore," said manager Terry Collins. "We got him up the other night to bring him in the game. He didn't finish, it was bothering him that much."
Daisuke Matsuzaka (elbow) also is set for a doctor's exam instead of traveling. Relied pitcher Vic Black, second baseman Daniel Murphy and pitcher Matt Harvey are going to Florida with team but and staying there and are not going on to Cincinnati.
With rosters expanding to as many as 40 players beginning Monday, the Mets recalled infielder Josh Satin and right-handed reliever Erik Goeddel from Triple-A Las Vegas , recalled catcher Juan Centeno from Double-A Binghamton and selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Dario Alvarez from Binghamton.
Fans weren't paying at the box office so a Mets executive paid with her job.
With only the Diamondbacks and Marlins selling fewer tickets in the National League than the Mets, the team has fired Leigh Castergine, senior vice president, ticket sales and services who had been with the team since 2010.
"Leigh Castergine, Senior Vice President of Ticket Sales & Services, is no longer with the organization. Although no replacement has been named yet, we have a talented staff in place to handle all ticket related business while we embark on a national search for this role," the team said Sunday in a statement to The Post.
Entering Sunday, the Mets had averaged 26,631 per home game, surpassing only Arizona (25,088) and Miami (21,484) in the National League. Seven American League clubs had averaged less.
Sunday seemed as good a day as any.
Especially when the subject in question, Curtis Granderson, was hitting 1-of-17 (.059) on the current homestand and 16-of-109 (.147) for the month of August. So yeah, Sunday seemed like a good day for Granderson to sit.
"Curtis just needs to clear his mind a little bit so I thought today might be a good day for that," Collins said about starting Kirk Nieuwenhuis instead. "Even though we've had a couple of days off, I just thought today was the day."
Nieuwenhuis went 2-for-4 with a bunt single and double off the wall. He also stole two bases and scored a run.
Pitcher Dillon Gee had high praise for the Mets' defense, particularly middle infielders Dilson Herrera and Wilmer Flores and center fielder Juan Lagares.
"Those guys turned some great double plays. That last one I just saw on [Ryan] Howard, that was a ridiculous turn. Juan does Juan things out there in center," Gee said.
Reliever Dana Eveland escaped serious trouble, much of it self-induced, in the seventh when he retired three straight lefties — Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Howard — with the tying runs on base. And he did it with bad pitches.
"I've gotten away with some sliders I left up in the zone that seem to be more effectively lately against lefties," Eveland said. "Maybe it's something to work on: bad sliders on purpose."
Phillies starter and loser — and ex-Yankee — A.J. Burnett struck out eight to move into 45th place on the all-time strikeout list with 2,345. Burnett passed Early Wynn (2,339) on Sunday. … The Mets' 13 wins against Phillies were their most against a single opponent since beating Montreal 14 times in 1991. … Flores had his first career stolen base. … Rollins tied Richie Ashburn for Philadelphia's franchise record with his 657th multi-hit game.
