  • Mets' Mark Vientos: Scratched from lineup

    Vientos was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers due to abdominal soreness, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

    The Mets are labelling Vientos' removal from the lineup as precautionary, so while he won't play Friday, he doesn't seem to be dealing with anything serious. Brett Baty will shift over to third base while Vientos sits, and Luisangel Acuna will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Mets' Paul Blackburn: Final rehab start coming Tuesday

    Blackburn (knee) will make his final rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Syracuse, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

    Blackburn threw seven scoreless innings in his last rehab start and is set to make his last minor-league outing Tuesday. There isn't a clear spot for Blackburn in the Mets' rotation, so he's likely to join the bullpen as a long reliever once activated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Mets' Frankie Montas: Starting rehab assignment

    Montas (lat) said Friday he's beginning a rehab assignment at High-A Brooklyn and will make a start Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Montas suffered a high-grade right lat strain in February and faced hitters for the first time May 16. He's now been cleared to begin what's expected to be a somewhat lengthy rehab assignment. Per Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record, Montas will throw 30-35 pitches Saturday. The 32-year-old logged a 4.84 ERA across 150.2 innings in 2024.

  • Mets' Jeff McNeil: Out of Friday's lineup

    McNeil is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

    The left-handed-hitting McNeil will begin the contest on the bench as the Dodgers send southpaw Clayton Kershaw to the bump. Fellow left-handed-swinger Brett Baty will cover second base for the Mets.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Sitting against left-hander

    Acuna is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Each of Acuna's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, but he's not in there Friday versus southpaw Clayton Kershaw. He's now been in the lineup just twice across the Mets' last six contests. Brett Baty is handling second base and batting eighth.

  • Mets' Reed Garrett: Collects 11th hold

    Garrett gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday to record his 11th hold of the season in a win over the Red Sox.

    The right-hander is one off the NL lead in holds, trailing the Padres' Jason Adam, the Reds' Tony Santillan and the Brewers' Abner Uribe. Garrett hasn't been quite as dominant this season as he was in his breakout 2024, but he still sports a 0.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB through 19 innings as a key member of the Mets' setup crew ahead of closer Edwin Diaz.

  • Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Nabs third win

    Brazoban (3-0) picked up the win Wednesday over the Red Sox, striking out four and allowing one hit over 2.1 scoreless innings.

    Tylor Megill lasted just 4.2 innings as the Mets' starting pitcher, but Brazoban stepped in to complete the fifth frame and breezed through two more innings, becoming the pitcher of record when New York broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the seventh. The 35-year-old righty has had a fantastic start to the season, posting a 0.90 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB through 30 innings while adding six holds and his first career save to his three wins.

  • Mets' Luis Torrens: On base three times in win

    Torrens went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.

    The 29-year-old catcher has started seven of 19 games in May, hitting safely in the last five while batting. 300 (6-for-20) on the month. Torrens hasn't provided much other production, supplying just one RBI and two runs over that stretch, but half his hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles and a triple) and he sports a 7:4 BB:K. Francisco Alvarez is entrenched as the Mets' starter behind the plate, but Torrens' workload and current form still give him some fantasy value in deep NL-only formats.

  • Mets' Ronny Mauricio: No timeline to join MLB roster

    Mauricio went 2-for-2 with two walks, a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, his second straight game with a homer.

    In three games since joining Syracuse's roster, Mauricio has gone 7-for-11 with a double, two steals and a 2:1 BB:K in addition to the two long balls. Given that the 24-year-old infielder missed the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from knee surgery, however, the Mets aren't going to rush him to the majors, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports. "Where we are right now is we have a player who is medically healthy, who has checked off a lot of the boxes in the rehab progression, has worked really hard to get there," Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said last week. "And now we're working him back into [being] Ronny Mauricio, the baseball player who was on the verge, seemingly, of really breaking out at the major-league level. And that takes some time as well." New York also doesn't have a clear opening for Mauricio in the big-league lineup, and he has yet to play back-to-back nine-inning games on defense this year. Despite his hot start at Triple-A, a return to the majors isn't likely until some time in June at the earliest.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Big day in win

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two stolen bases during Wednesday's 5-1 win over Boston.

    Lindor went 21 consecutive games without a stolen base before recording a steal Tuesday. The shortstop followed up the performance with a pair of steals Wednesday to bring his season total up to nine. Lindor also tagged Sean Newcomb for a homer in the ninth inning. In his last eight appearances, Lindor has gone 4-for-30 (.133) with three RBI, two runs scored and two doubles.

  • Mets' Brett Baty: Delivers clutch hit

    Baty went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a two-RBI single and a stolen base during Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Baty broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-RBI single that plated Tyrone Taylor and Luis Torrens. The outing marked Baty's second game this season with more than two RBI, with his first being a five-RBI performance May 10. On the year, Baty is slashing .222/.247/.444 with five homers, 14 RBI and eight runs scored.

  • Mets' Tylor Megill: Punches out 10

    Megill didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Boston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk across 4.2 innings. He struck out 10.

    It was a much-needed bounce-back start for Megill, who lasted just 2.2 innings his last time out and allowed four runs in each of his three previous starts. Megill tied his season high in strikeouts Wednesday despite failing to complete five innings, and he was pulled after just 85 pitches. Megill has thrown more than five frames in just three of his 10 starts. Across 48 innings this year, Megill owns a 3.56 ERA and a 66:23 K:BB.

  • Mets' Jeff McNeil: Heading to bench for series finale

    McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Though he started the last time the Mets faced a lefty (Max Fried) in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees, McNeil will retreat to the bench for the series finale in Boston while southpaw Garrett Crochet toes the rubber for Boston. Luisangel Acuna will get the nod at second base and could continue to start over the left-handed-hitting McNeil more often than not when the Mets face southpaws.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Out of Wednesday's lineup

    Alvarez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Boston.

    After starting each of the last three games, Alvarez will get a breather in Wednesday's series finale. The Mets will turn to Luis Torrens at catcher as they try to avoid being swept.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Getting breather Wednesday

    Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Nimmo had started in every game for the Mets dating back to May 1, and the Red Sox are sending a tough southpaw (Garrett Crochet) to the hill for the series finale, so the veteran outfielder is presumably getting a planned day off Wednesday. Starling Marte will fill in for Nimmo in left field and will bat second.
