Things do not look good for the New York Mets. Entering the Atlanta Braves series in Queens, the Mets were in free-fall mode. The slide looked to have been stopped thanks to an offensive explosion on Tuesday. Not to mention Pete Alonso making history. However, Tuesday proved to be the exception rather than the recent rule. Wednesday saw an all-time meltdown, before the Mets continued their...
Paul Blackburn turned in another solid outing with Triple-A Syracuse, going 5 2/3 innings while giving up two runs. The Mets had placed the 31-year-old Blackburn on the 15-day injured list July 3 (retroactive to June 30) with a right shoulder impingement. This was his fourth start in his most recent rehab stretch with Syracuse. Triple-A Box Score Syracuse Mets (60-52) 9, Charlotte Knights...
The New York Mets saw encouraging signs on the mound Saturday across multiple levels of their system. Paul Blackburn continued his rehab assignment with a solid 5 1/3-inning outing as he works his way back from a shoulder injury. Also on rehab, Brandon Waddell threw 2 2/3 hitless innings as Binghamton’s pitching staff threw their second seven-inning no-hitter of the season, combining for 13...
Good morning, Mets fans! Per The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Tim Britton, the Mets are actively shopping 31-year-old right-hander Paul Blackburn ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline, despite him currently being on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement. Blackburn threw 87 pitches in his most recent rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse, allowing just one earned run over six-plus...
Ryan Clifford had an explosive week for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, totaling four home runs and 12 RBIs while batting 12-for-23. He walked a whopping eight times and scored an even crazier 11 runs. Clifford’s OPS has jumped significantly to .864, and he raised his home run total from 17 to 21. He is the first player in the Mets minor leagues this season to cross the 20-home run...
Make time to binge-watch the Benge highlight reel. Carson Benge homered in the first inning, hit another in the second, singled in a run in the third, and (my personal favorite), cut down a runner at home from center field. The first round pick in last year’s draft helped Double-A Binghamton eke out a 17-3 win over Reading. Benge went 4-for-6 with a walk, three RBIs and four runs scored....
José Azócar hit his first Triple-A home run of the season as Syracuse beat Omaha 4-3, while Paul Blackburn made a strong Triple-A rehab start for a shoulder issue. Jett Williams continued his hot streak in Double-A despite Binghamton’s 6-3 loss, and Corey Collins hit his first High-A home run in Brooklyn’s 8-5 defeat. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (47-50) 4, Omaha Storm Chasers (38-58) 3 Box Score RF...
The New York Mets announced several roster moves before they begin the second half with a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. Chief among them is left-handed reliever Brooks Raley’s long-awaited return from Tommy John surgery, as he was officially reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Raley, who signed a one-year deal with the club in April, will now slot in as the...
Doesn’t everything just feel better after a series win? For the first time in three weeks, the Mets won a series. They took two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers. It wasn’t always pretty, but New York got the job done to record just a fifth win in its past 19 games. Despite imploding in the opener, the Mets rallied to beat a red-hot Milwaukee team in the final two games. With...
The Mets added more injury to insult to their pitching woes on Thursday. Paul Blackburn was placed on the 15-day Injured List due to a right shoulder impingement. The team also placed Dedniel Núñez on the 15-day IL with a right elbow sprain. Both pitchers could never quite find their footing so far this 2025 season. Blackburn missed the start of the year after he spent the offseason recovering...
It is official – the New York Mets have now hit rock bottom. In a worrying continuation of their recent slide, the Mets were swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. Yes, swept by the Pirates. Not only that but New York was outscored 30-4 by its lowly opponents. As a result, the Mets are now 3-13 in their last 16 games. That’s not good to say the very least. Overall, this...
There is no way to sugarcoat it, the New York Mets are struggling in every facet of the game right now. After winning two in a row to end their series against the Atlanta Braves, the Mets have dropped two straight, and the series, to the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. One of the main themes of these recent struggles has been the regression of what was an elite pitching staff. Through two games...
