On the night that Pete Alonso returned to Citi Field, the Mets could have used a clutch RBI. New York left nine men on base and went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position in a 2-1 loss Monday to the Orioles (73-78) in front of a home crowd that showed a lot of love for the franchise’s home run king. Alonso received warm ovations, a pre-game tribute video, and tipped his helmet to the...
With the Mets up 7-4 in the eighth inning Tuesday night, Dedniel Núñez was tasked with facing the Marlins’ 2-3-4 hitters. He set them down 1-2-3. He got Otto Lopez, who is second in the National League in hits behind Luis Arraez, to fly to center. Agustin Ramirez grounded out and Javier Sanoja struck out swinging at an 88 mph slider. Kodai Senga handled the ninth, allowing a run, but...
Luis Robert’s return to the South Side of Chicago to play his former team has been eventful for him and the New York Mets. White Sox fans met him with some boos on Friday night while New York lost the opener of the series on a walk-off home run. On Saturday, Robert let his bat do the talking with two home runs in a 10-5 Mets win. Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, and Luis Torrens also homered....
One of the big positives of the New York Mets’ second half has been the offensive emergence of Francisco Lindor. Coming into the game on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, Lindor had garnered a .277 average with an OPS of .915. Lindor capped off a come-from-behind win in the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk-off hit as the Mets took game two of this weekend series 5-4. The...
Offense or, rather, a lack of it, proved to be the downfall of the Mets in Atlanta. After putting up eight runs in the series opener, the Mets managed just three runs the rest of the series. Consequently, they dropped the series after losing the final two games against the Braves. It was inevitable that the Mets would come back to earth following the recent hot streak. The offense still features...
The road trip that started with a bang ended with a whimper. The Mets (53-69) scored 50 runs over the first seven games away from Citi Field, but a day after getting shutout they fell to the Braves 6-3 to lose the three-game series. Tyler Mahle (4-9) threw six innings of one-run ball a day after Martín Pérez tossed six scoreless frames. Bo Bichette homered (12) to lead off the ninth and after...
What a week that turned out to be for the New York Mets. Coming off the Trade Deadline, the new-look Mets hit the road and are currently an impressive 5-1 before opening up a series in Atlanta on Monday.

Bo Bichette singled in the free runner and Daniel Duarte pitched a scoreless 10th as the Mets beat the Guardians 6-5 Wednesday in a sloppy defensive game on both sides at Progressive Field. New York was down to its last out in the ninth when Jorge Polanco doubled, Marcus Semien walked and and A.J.

Dedniel Núñez played a big part in the success of the Mets during the 2024 season, pitching 35 innings to a 2.31 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. The expectation was that he would play a big factor in their 2025 season, but injuries limited him to only 9 2/3 innings and his season was cut short by an elbow injury that forced him to undergo Tommy John surgery. On June 25, Núñez began his rehab assignment with...

29-year-old reliever Dedniel Núñez is set to undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed. The Mets had initially diagnosed Núñez with a right elbow sprain, but further testing has evidently made surgery necessary. This will be his second Tommy John procedure after the first, which came in 2021 after a UCL sprain. Post-Tommy John, Núñez rebuilt his career in the...
