J.D. Davis Still Recovering From Finger Injury

Brandon Nimmo Recovering From Injury

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo started swinging a bat again on Sunday. Nimmo has been sidelined since May 5th with a finger injury. It doesn't sound like the Mets will rush to get the outfielder back in the lineup. Through 21 games, Nimmo was batting .318 with one home run and eight RBI. Fantasy […]

James McCann Hits Another Home Run Against Padres

New York Mets catcher James McCann remained red hot on Sunday going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the San Diego Padres.

Jacob deGrom To Start At Home Friday Against Padres

The New York Mets expect to push starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi's start back a day so starting pitcher Jacob deGrom can remain on regular rest.

J.D. Davis Wearing Splint On Hand

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) will be wearing a splint on his left hand for at least a week resulting in his being, essentially, shut down from swinging a bat. Davis was expected to play in rehab games last week, but his rehab assignment was pushed back indefinitely after he experienced discomfort […]

Bruce Maxwell Traded To The Giants

New York Mets catcher Bruce Maxwell has been traded to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. This is a minor transaction as Maxwell has been wallowing in the minors for the last three seasons.
