With the Mets set to play four games within 48 hours, what’s bothered the Mets the last month is in question again: what’s up with their rotation? While addressing the media Tuesday, David Stearns said the Mets will continue to evaluate the rotation on a “turn-by-turn” basis. Like the offense earlier in the year, Stearns said the team hasn’t received “consistent” performance from its...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported that despite initial reports of Francisco Lindor returning to the Mets for a simulated game on Tuesday, the shortstop will complete an additional rehab game in Triple-A Syracuse. Assuming all goes well, Lindor could be activated as soon as Wednesday, and play as soon as Thursday after a rest day. Lindor’s return is...
The Mets will not play tonight. Due to weather, their game with the Cubs has been postponed to Wednesday as a split-doubleheader. The first game will start at 1:10 pm with Game 2 starting at 7:10 pm. Kodai Senga, who was supposed to start Monday, will get the start Tuesday against Edward Cabrera. Nolan McLean and Sean Manaea will both start in Wednesday’s games while Freddy Peralta closes out...
Monday, June 22, 2026 • 7:10 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY LHP Shota Imanaga (4-6, 4.26) vs. RHP Kodai Senga (0-5, 9.00) SNY The Mets are so close to things getting better. Francisco Lindor played a rehab game on Sunday with Tyrone Taylor. Christian Scott had a successful bullpen session. The problem is that the team they are all coming back to is quickly falling apart. In the last three weeks,...
The Mets return home once more, and things are not on the upswing. After building some positive momentum, New York faltered against the Phillies and lost two of three games in Philadelphia. The starting pitching was not up to task, and despite some offensive flashes, the lineup was shut down by Cristopher Sánchez and Zach Wheeler. New York now arrives back at Citi Field, welcoming the Chicago...
David Peterson made his first start since May 26 on Sunday against the Phillies. With a majority of the Mets’ rotation struggling or injured, the southpaw stepping up would have gone a long way. Especially in a rubber game against a division rival. Instead, it was more of the same for Peterson and the Mets. They fell behind early and could not recover, losing 6-2 to drop another series and...
Good morning, Mets fans! I have had enough of Kyle Schwarber. Francisco Lindor went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, a run scored, and played nine innings at shortstop in Triple-A Syracuse’s 5-3 victory over Norfolk on Sunday. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported that Lindor (strained left calf) is likely to return to the Mets this week, but probably not until at least Wednesday. “I...
Sports, and specifically baseball, can have patterns to them. As a season churns along, games start to mirror each other, even if they do not occur in the exact same way. This can happen when a team repeatedly fails, and it can happen when a team repeatedly succeeds. Unfortunately for the Mets, the rhythm of things has fallen into the negative category. Facing the Phillies on Sunday night, the...
Sunday, June 21, 2026 • 7:20 PM Citizens Bank Park • Philadelphia, PA LHP David Peterson (3-5, 5.91) vs. RHP Zack Wheeler (6-1, 2.01) NBC / Peacock The New York Mets are at the precipice of living the same week three times in a row. For the first three weeks in June the Mets have started each week losing two games, then they win the third game of a series to avoid the sweep. Then, they win the...
On Saturday night, the New York Mets lost to the Philadelphia Phillies by a final score of 15-3. Kyle Schwarber hit as many home runs (three) as the Mets scored runs. Bryce Harper hit for the cycle, in only five innings, for the first time in his career. And yet, neither of these players were the biggest problem for the Mets. On January 21, when the Mets made the blockbuster trade for ace Freddy...
After a breakout 2025, Jonah Tong has not looked like the team’s top pitching prospect this season. He entered Saturday with a 1-5 record in 11 starts, lugging a 6.13 ERA and 1.49 WHIP into his start against Norfolk. He was roughed up again, allowing seven runs (three earned) on eight hits over three innings. Syracuse battled back from 7-2 and 10-5 deficits and scored twice in the ninth,...
In the 2026 season, the New York Mets have shown many different sides of themselves. However, there has been one constant that has repeatedly shown up on both sides of the ball: certain players have faltered when the team has needed them most. Against the Phillies on Saturday night, that was the case once again, as the Mets were blown out by a score of 15-3. The main culprit of this loss was not...
