After a fairly healthy first few weeks of camp, the Mets have encountered their first injury obstacle. They will find out soon how large the obstacle will be — but it appears to be sizable.

Jose Quintana has suffered a small stress fracture on the fifth rib on his left side, the Mets announced Monday. The lefty will travel to New York for further tests, and the club has not yet released a timetable for his return. Even in a best-case scenario, Quintana is likely to miss the start of a season that begins in just over three weeks.
