Lenny Dykstra has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke, according to former teammate Darryl Strawberry … but the former NY Mets star is on the mend!

What Happened?

A local Pennsylvania watering hole, Dolan’s Bar, was the first to report the medical emergency, saying the 61-year-old suffered a small stroke.

Recovery Process

Dysktra’s former Mets teammates, Straw and Kevin Mitchell, confirmed the news of the stroke to the NY Post on Thursday. They mentioned that he’s getting better and has been released from the ICU, but is still receiving treatment in the hospital. Thankfully, Lenny’s in good spirits.

Friendship and Support

Lenny, Darryl Strawberry, and Mitchell go way back, having played several seasons together in the 1980s on the New York Mets and won the World Series together in 1986. Strawberry mentioned, “He’s a special friend and I will never turn my back on him and say negative things about him because his life has had some challenges. We’ve all had challenges.”

Statement from Attorney

Matthew Blit, Dykstra’s attorney, provided a statement, “Lenny Dykstra has suffered a mini-stroke and is currently recovering in a Los Angeles Hospital surrounded by family and loved ones. I must say that the outpouring of support has been so welcome and is helping him on his road to recovery.”

Speedy recovery, Lenny!
