NEW YORK -- Second baseman Neil Walker will likely opt for season-ending surgery on a herniated disc in his back, Mets manager Terry Collins announced following New Yorks 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins at Citi Field on Wednesday.After all the evidence has been gathered, he thinks thats where hes probably headed, Collins said.Walker is expected to address the media Thursday.Already without Matt Harvey (thoracic outlet syndrome) for the remainder of the year and with lingering injuries to Noah Syndergaard (bone spur), Steven Matz (shoulder/elbow), Asdrubal Cabrera (knee) and Yoenis Cespedes (quad), losing Walker comes at an inopportune moment. The Mets have won 10 of their last 13 to close to within 1 1/2 games of St. Louis for the second National League wild card.This year, Walker has been a big part of this team, its a shame, infielder Wilmer Flores said. Weve had a lot of injuries but we have to keep playing with what we have.Flores and Kelly Johnson, who both homered in New Yorks victory, stand to see increased playing time over the final 29 games of the regular season in Walkers absence.Massive, Johnson said about how big of an impact losing Walker for the remainder of the season would be. Losing anybody that youve been counting on and having such a great year, not just on the field but in here. Hopefully hell be around regardless of what happens. Were going to miss him a lot and hopefully we can pick him up.Both Walker and the Mets had previously classified the injury as a stiff back. Collins indicated he wasnt at liberty to reveal the exact diagnosis during Tuesdays pre-game news conference, but general manager Sandy Alderson shared the condition to a few reporters early Wednesday afternoon.Collins was then pressed for additional details before the Mets took on the Miami Marlins.The issue is, the herniated disk is causing weakness in one of his legs, Collins said before the game. The weakness is causing numbness in one of his feet. The numbness is keeping him from playing.Walker has matched his career high with 23 home runs in his first season with the Mets.Were certainly very disappointed that it comes to this, Collins reflected. Hes had a tremendous year for us.Walkers 2012 season with Pittsburgh ended prematurely with a similar injury. He went through six weeks of physical therapy to rehabilitate a disk in his lower back.
