Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-3 with a home run in Double-A Binghamton’s 7-2 loss Friday to Hartford. It was his first homer since hitting one for the big-league team on April 9 vs. Arizona. Robert (lumbar spine disc herniation) could return to the Mets after the All-Star break and they may look to showcase him for teams in need of outfield help at the trade deadline, which is Aug. 3. Robert,...
Jack Wenninger was finally dominant. In his start, he allowed just a hit and three walks in seven scoreless innings. Wenninger struck out five in what was easily his best start of the season. He now has a 3.48 ERA in 16 appearances (13 starts). For more stats and news around the Mets minor leagues, continue reading the Minors Weekly Report below.

Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets are gearing up to very likely be sellers at the deadline, and Will Sammon of The Athletic has some details on how things could shape up. Specifically, Sammon noted that the Mets could get a strong haul for one of their primary two catchers, though it seems unlikely they would do it. The Mets also have a particular affinity for Torrens because of his defense,...
Jack Wenninger had been struggling after a strong start to the season. However, on Saturday, he turned in his best start of his season, tossing seven innings of one-hit baseball. Unfortunately, the rest of the teams in the New York Mets’ upper levels of the minor leagues struggled, as Syracuse was the only team to bring home a win. However, JT Benson continues to light it up professionally...
Nick Morabito showed off the bat and the leather in Syracuse’s 5-4 victory Sunday over Lehigh Valley. He had one of the Mets’ two extra-base hits and made a great catch in center field that you can see here. The 23-year-old, who went 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts in five major-league games this year, has been hot in Triple-A this month. He’s slashed .287/.360/.480 in June with...
Jack Wenninger had a quality start but his offense couldn’t help him in a Syracuse loss, Chris Suero hit a lead-off home run for Binghamton but that would be the only run scored in its loss as Kodai Senga allowed one hit in his rehab start, and Nicolas Carreno was dominant in his first start at High-A. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (34-32) 1, Buffalo Bisons (30-36) 3 BOX SCORE CF Nick Morabito...
Catcher Chris Suero had a night. He sent a 2-2 pitch over the left-field wall for a three-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning that gave Double-A Binghamton a 5-4 victory Friday over Reading. You can see the homer and Gatorade shower here. The 22-year-old also tripled, scored twice, and threw out a runner trying to steal. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (31-29) 4, Syracuse Mets...
While the big-league club looks to take care of business out on the West Coast against the San Diego Padres on Friday, the New York Mets’ minor league affiliates will attempt to follow suit. With Double-A Binghamton, High-A Brooklyn and Single-A St. Lucie all set to face affiliates of the Philadelphia Phillies, it should be a fun night organizationally for the two NL East foes. TRIPLE-A...
Somehow, the baseball season is already two months in. At this point, statistics are starting to stabilize, and we’re getting a sense of the caliber of season the players are in store for. May was an iffy month for Mets prospects, but at each level, there was at least one standout. TRIPLE-A: SYRACUSE METS HITTER OF THE MONTH: RYAN CLIFFORD Statistics: 27 G, .233/.308/.534/.842, 8 HR, 5 2B,...
On Saturday, Jorge Polanco continued his rehab start for Binghamton (Double-A), playing three innings in the field. Meanwhile, the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones had a very rare offensive outburst on Saturday en route to victory. Unfortunately, Jack Wenninger posted his second straight poor outing for Syracuse (Triple-A) in what has otherwise been a sensational season. Triple-A Rochester Red...
The Mets’ path to a playoff spot continues to get more difficult by the day. While they do not have a ton of clear pieces to sell, any moves could open up more playing time for young players. Injuries and prospects in the minors forcing the team’s hand can do that as well. We have already seen Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, Nick Morabito and Zach Thornton debut this season. Who else could...
Nick Lorusso hit seven home runs last year in 112 games for Double-A Binghamton. He’s hit six in his last 11 games, including one in each of his last three. He hit a solo shot Sunday (see it here) to make it 2-0 in the seventh inning, which proved to be the difference in the Rumble Ponies’ 2-1 win over Richmond. Lorusso, 25, of Carmel, N.Y., plays first, second and third base and was...
