Two days before Opening Day, the Mets released first baseman Luke Voit and pitcher Phil Bickford as they continue to trim the Opening Day roster to 26. New York has 29 players remaining on the active roster, but that includes pitchers Kodai Senga and Max Kranick, who both will be placed on the injured list. So one more player must be trimmed before the Mets take on the Brewers at Citi Field on...

Raley struck out six, Santos struck out one, and Phil Bickford fanned two to keep the Mets competitive....
David Stearns and the Mets were busy last week. The organization rehauled the bullpen for the upcoming season, re-signing Adam Ottavino on Jan. 31, and inking free agents Jake Diekman and Shintaro Fujinami on Feb. 2. These three signings marked serious investments toward the bullpen for next season. Before, Stearns had made 13 smaller moves that didn’t move the needle, but instead fit the...

There’s going to be lots of ups and downs with the New York Mets the rest of the way. But at least it will be fun to watch. That proved to be the way during a two-game series against the Nationals in Washington. The Baby Mets and an explosive offense won the day on Tuesday, before the bats vanished and the bullpen couldn’t get the job done in a 3-2 walk-off loss on Wednesday. With...
For the second time in less than a week, the New York Mets avoided a series sweep thanks to some walk-off heroics. While Rafael Ortega was the hero on Sunday against the Angels, it was DJ Stewart who took center stage on Wednesday with a monster night against the Rangers.

Good morning, Mets fans! Starling Marte said Monday that he is progressing well from his recent groin injury. Marte believes it would be beneficial for him to go on a rehab assignment before returning to action, but he doesn’t know when that will begin. Buck Showalter mentioned there’s a possibility of shutting Marte down for the season, but they haven’t come to that conclusion...

It was an impressive effort from a Mets team that looked all but down and out. It was also the perfect way to begin a 10-game homestand with the Braves next up in town. Small victories will be the name of the...
