The Mets’ lineup has a certain fluidity to it right now. Meaning, if someone hits, they’re likely to receive an invite to stay a little longer. With the second-worst team OPS in all of baseball, and multiple injuries, the Mets have needed all the help they can get. We saw it with MJ Melendez early in the season. We saw it with the aggressive promotion of A.J. Ewing. And now...
Good morning, Mets fans! Per Mike Puma of the New York Post, there were thoughts that Jorge Polanco would end his rehab assignment and join the Mets in San Diego on Friday, but he is instead remaining on his rehab assignment. Polanco is thought to be close to joining the Mets and could do so on the next homestand. Latest Mets News The Mets (28-35) beat the Padres (32-30) 5-0 in the series opener...
The road woes continued for the Mets as they dropped two of three in Seattle. New York (27-35) is 12-20 away from Citi Field and hasn’t won a road series since taking two of three in Colorado about a month ago. The Mets won the finale to give them good vibes before a day off Thursday. And up next on the road trip is the slumping Padres, who have lost four in a row, eight of 10, and are in...
For whatever reason, the Mets have been a far worse team hitting on the road. They bucked that trend Wednesday with a 14-hit attack and a 7-1 victory in Seattle. Bo Bichette had four hits, Juan Soto and Carson Benge executed a double steal of second and home and Freddy Peralta struck out six over six innings as the Mets (27-35) broke the Mariners’ eight-game winning streak....
On a day when the New York Mets honored two franchise greats, Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli, the team defeated the Miami Marlins 6-1 on Saturday afternoon, led by another good Christian Scott performance. For Scott, it was the first win of his major league career, and the Mets’ offense gave him some backup with six runs. The bullpen had another strong day and got the remaining 12 outs...
For one night, nine years after they were drafted two rounds apart, Eric Wagaman and Jared Young made for a dynamic duo at designated hitter. Wagaman went 1-for-2 with a 415-foot solo home run in the second inning off Reds lefty starter Andrew Abbott. Young, pinch-hitting when the Reds brought in righty Zach Maxwell, delivered a single in the seventh and scored on Carson Benge’s two-out...
Zach Thornton dominated in his second start for Triple-A Syracuse Friday night, striking out nine over six scoreless innings in an 8-2 victory over Scranton/Wilkes Barre. (You can see one of the Ks here.) The preseason No. 16 prospect on MMO gave up three hits and walked one. The 24-year-old was promoted earlier this month after pitching to a 3.60 ERA over five starts at Double-A. Triple-A...
Good morning, Mets fans! What a painful night. The Mets (18-26) lost the Subway Series opener at Citi Field, but the bigger blow came after the game when it was revealed that Clay Holmes broke his right fibula on a 111 mph comebacker hit by Spencer Jones in the fourth inning. Carlos Mendoza said the dependable Holmes, who will be added to the injured list with a 2.39 ERA, will “be down for...
Things appear pretty bleak for the New York Mets right now. While still early, the last couple of weeks have been ugly, and the struggles continued with the Mets being swept by the Dodgers in LA. Over the course of the three games, New York was outscored 14-3. In all, the offense has managed a measly three runs over the last 38 innings. Furthermore, mental errors continue to plague this team....
The Mets have placed utilityman Jared Young on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 13, with a torn meniscus in his left knee. Outfielder MJ Melendez has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take Young’s roster spot. Additionally, the team has released right-handed pitcher Luis García. Young has been one of the few bright spots for the scuffling Mets offense, going 7-for-20...
Good morning, Mets fans! Four home games, two walk-off wins! Ronny Mauricio drove an 0-2 pitch over the right-fielder’s head to give the Mets a 4-3 victory in 10 innings over the Diamondbacks Tuesday in the opening game of a six-game homestand. Jared Young tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Luis García, Brooks Raley, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver threw five scoreless...
Juan Soto’s early-season injury has raised an important question: Which position players are in line for promotions when the Mets call on their minor league depth in 2o26? It’s not a fun topic, but it’s a necessary one. For pitching depth, it’s pretty clear. There are a handful of starters on call in Syracuse, and the same goes for the relievers. For the hitting depth,...
