Dessens Hit by liner, leaves first spring training game


The New York Mets disabled list might have its first guest as Elmer Dessens left today's grapefruit game against the Braves after being struck in the right knee by a line drive off the bat of Brian McCann in the third inning. The Amazin's pulled off the win outscoring Atlanta 4-2, but leaving the game with one less player. Dessens was relieved by non-roster invitee Bobby Livingston. Dessens posted a 3.31 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 32 1/3 innings last season. There is no word yet on Dessens condition.
