Chris Capuano could be added to the Mets’ list of walking wounded.
After pitching six scoreless innings against the A’s on Thursday, Capuano was removed for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth after complaining of pain in the right side of his abdomen.
He was looked at by the trainers in the sixth after Coco Crisp flied out to center, but was able to finish the inning, despite allowing a double to Scott Sizemore.

Justin Turner was hit in the left thigh in the first inning. Turner was plunked in nearly the same spot with two outs and the bases loaded in the 13th inning Wednesday night, ending the game.
Hideki Matsui sat out for the A’s. Normally a DH, he played the outfield for the first time this season and did quite well in the opening two games of the series.
The Mets rewarded fans who sat through the rain delay with a free ticket for the Aug. 11 game vs. San Diego.
