The Mets (33-21) still aren’t right offensively, and they haven’t been for a while, but they’ve been recording some gritty wins lately, which is what good teams do. After being shut down for the first seven innings of Monday’s game against old friend Adrian Houser and the White Sox (17-37), the Mets rallied late and secured a tough 2-1 walk-off win. The Mets’...

Good morning, Mets fans! While the Mets’ bullpen has hit its stride post All-Star break, one of the lone bright spots in the Mets’ ‘pen during the early part of the season could make his return very soon. Reed Garrett, who posted a 1.04 ERA in his first 26 innings of his 2024 season, was placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation on July 10. Garrett had a steep...
Good morning, Mets fans! With a struggling bullpen and an influx of moves on the horizon, the Mets DFA’d both RHP Adrian Houser and RHP Shintaro Fujinami on July 26. While Fujinami cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Houser was released by the club on Wednesday, per Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Mets also released RHP Ty Adcock. Houser, who was acquired...
Tylor Megill was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after his start against the Houston Astros on July 29. Just 28 days later, he returned to the big leagues. With Christian Scott and Kodai Senga out for the foreseeable future, Saturday’s start against at the Atlanta Braves was a massive opportunity for Megill. A strong performance from the right-handed starter could have changed the...
Good morning, Mets fans! With the Mets’ (55-48) 8-4 victory over the Braves (54-48) Friday night, New York took over the top Wild Card spot, surpassing the Braves in the standings. The Mets were as many as 10 games behind the Braves in early June but have now overtaken Atlanta, who are the losers of six in a row. Latest Mets News J.D. Martinez, Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez each...
The New York Mets are in the middle of a playoff race in late July and are also about to play game two of a key four-game series against the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. Before the start of the game, the Mets made a series of roster moves that included reinstating starting pitcher Kodai Senga from the injured list. Senga will make his season debut on Friday. That wasn’t all. New York...
The New York Mets are in good shape at the All-Star break. After taking two of three from the Rockies, the Mets are over .500 at 49-46. They are also in sole possession of the third Wild Card berth in the National League. Granted, New York missed the opportunity to sit pretty at the halfway point with 50 wins after dropping the series finale to Colorado on Sunday. However, it was still an...
Bullpen collapses and a streaky offense were the main causes of pain for the New York Mets in Pittsburgh. After splitting their series against the Nationals, the Mets also had to settle for a series split with the Pirates to finish 4-4 on the road trip. There were yet more implosions from a bullpen teetering on the edge, while an up-and-down offense also contributed to a disappointing finish to...
The Mets had momentum in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Christian Scott was throwing a one-hitter into the sixth inning, Brandon Nimmo clubbed a two-run homer in the sixth to tie the game, and the Mets had an opportunity to win three of four games against the Pirates. But as it’s done all season, the bullpen halted the momentum. Abruptly as well. With two outs in the sixth and 77 pitches thrown (he...
Christian Scott (0-2, 4.15 ERA) exited Monday’s contest in a tie game with two outs and nobody on in the sixth inning. That turned out to be the inflection point of the game, as what followed was a disaster of an inning in which five straight batters reached to score five runs to put the Pirates (43-47) well over the Mets (44-45) late in the game. The Mets couldn’t recover as they...
Two back-to-back disappointing outcomes ensured the Mets had to settle for a split with the Nationals in Washington. After some explosive extra-innings fireworks helped New York take the first two games of the series, they proceeded to lay an egg in the next two encounters, which included a really lethargic effort on July 4. The offense was a no-show in the series finale, with Jesse...
