The typical timeframe to return to play from a procedure of this nature is four to five months, per the club.
New York Mets right-hander Paul Blackburn underwent a procedure to repair a cerebrospinal fluid leak earlier this month and will be sidelined at least four-to-five months, the team announced Tuesday.
By failing to make the 2024 World Series, the New York Mets did something that had not been done in Major League Baseball history. New York defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in three games during the National League Wild Card round.

Blackburn may be ready for Spring Training.
The Mets announced today that on October 11th, Paul Blackburn underwent a cerebrospinal fluid leak repair. The very specific language used by the Mets was as follows: “the return to play for this type of procedure is 4-5 months.” Blackburn, acquired from the Athletics at the trade deadline for prospect Kade Morris, made just five appearances for the Mets before hitting the Injured List.
Blackburn initially hit...

The 2024 Mets have moved on, just not to the World Series.
Last night, the 2024 Mets season came to an end. The Dodgers—a clearly superior team, assembled by the best organization in baseball—were too big an obstacle, particularly as every arm on the New York roster ran out of gas.
This was, from any perspective, an absurd season. The Mets were expected to be a team in transition and had an offseason that was anything but flashy. They then started...

An incredible playoff run ends sooner than we had hoped.
The Mets’ season came to an end in Los Angeles tonight, as the Dodgers bested them 10-5 in Game 6 of the NLCS. A few months ago, even the suggestion that the Mets might make it this far would have been laughed off. That doesn’t make the end of the season sting any less in the moment, though.
