Mistakes in the field and on the bases cost the Mets a 3-1 loss Monday to Cleveland (31-17). Francisco Lindor went 0-for-4 in his return to Cleveland for the first time since he was traded in 2021. Lindor, who played six years in Cleveland, making the All-Star team four times, was greeted with warm applause before his first at-bat. “Well, I walked in through a different route,” he...

Updated Post: May 20 at 4:41 pm In a pregame interview, manager Carlos Mendoza noted that RHP Kodai Senga experienced tricep tenderness yesterday and did not throw his scheduled bullpen session. The team hopes that Senga can throw a bullpen sometime by the end of the week. It’s yet another setback in Senga’s return to Queens, who has been out since Spring Training with a shoulder...
For the next stop on their road trip, the New York Mets (21-25) head to Progressive Field to take on the Cleveland Guardians (30-17). Over the weekend, the Mets only won one out of their three games against the Miami Marlins. While they had a sizable lead during Saturday’s game, closer Edwin Díaz allowed four earned runs in the ninth inning to send the game to extra innings. Consequently,...
Heading into the season, the Mets needed to bolster their outfield depth, a longstanding issue for the team. While having Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, and Starling Marte in the outfield is a solid setup, additional depth was necessary. The Mets addressed this need during the offseason, notably by acquiring Tyrone Taylor from Milwaukee and signing Harrison Bader to a one-year contract. Bader...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets begin a three-game series against the Guardians at Progressive Field this evening, with Tylor Megill (0-1, 2.25 ERA) slated to make his return to the rotation against righty Ben Lively (2-2, 3.06 ERA).

The New York Mets are reportedly set to make more promotions on Sunday. According to Will Sammon of the Athletic, the Mets are promoting pitcher Blade Tidwell and outfielder Rhylan Thomas from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse.

First reported by Daniel Wrexler, the New York Mets are promoting two-way player Nolan McLean from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton. McLean, a third-round pick during the 2023 MLB Amateur Draft, has excelled as both a pitcher and hitter in 2024. As a pitcher, he started seven games for Brooklyn, posting a 2.57 ERA. Across 28 innings of work, he allowed only 20 hits to go along with 36...
The New York Mets (21-24) entered Sunday’s contest with the Miami Marlins hoping to avoid getting swept for the third time, in a three-game series, this season. After a demoralizing loss on Saturday, the Mets bounced back on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot Park in Miami earning a 7-3 decision. Led by two big innings, and just enough out of the bullpen, the Mets were able to get it done....
Sunday, May 19, 2024 • 1:40 PM loanDepot Park • Miami, FL LHP Sean Manaea (2-1, 3.05) vs. RHP Sixto Sánchez (0-1, 5.96) WPIX Saturday’s game certainly was a gut-wrenching loss for the New York Mets. The Mets offense has struggled for stretches of the season, so losing a game after scoring nine runs from 15 hits has to burn. Losing it because of the bullpen, which was the Mets greatest strength...
The New York Mets’ offense has not produced at the level expected of them so far this season. A lineup that includes Pete Alonso, J.D. Martinez and Francisco Lindor, among so many other quality individuals, is more than capable of performing at much higher levels collectively. Despite this, a sign of good things to come showcased itself in Saturday’s loss to the Miami Marlins, one...
If there was a perfect way to describe how the 2024 season has started for the New York Mets, look no further than Saturday’s gut-wrenching loss. The team lead 7-2, then 9-5, en route to blowing the lead in the ninth inning and falling 10-9 in the 10th inning. At the center of it was once again closer Edwin Díaz. In his first season back after missing all of last year due to a complete...
