Edwin Diaz Available Wednesday

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz (shoulder), who left a game last weekend with right trapezius tightness, threw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday and is available to pitch on Wednesday against the Cubs. Diaz hasn't been nearly as effective this year as he was with Seattle in 2018, but he should return to his […]

Noah Syndergaard Hopes to Stay Hot Wednesday

New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since the All-Star break, and he will have a chance to build on that Wednesday in a home start against the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs are not nearly as dangerous a team on the road, and the right-hander sports a […]

Peter Alonso Cracks Another Home Run Tuesday

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso stayed hot on Tuesday in a loss against the Chicago Cubs. Alonso went 1-for-4 with a home run off Yu Darvish. It was the rookie's 42nd home run of the season. Alonso is smashing all kind of rookie records for the Mets this season and remains one of […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

[…]

Edwin Diaz Could Be Facing Extended Absence

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz (shoulder) left his outing against the Braves on Saturday with trapezius tightness. Manager Mickey Callaway said "it's really hard to say" if the injury is something that could force the hard-throwing right-hander to the injured list. On the other hand, Diaz is upbeat and doesn't consider the injury very […]

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso tied the team's franchise record for home runs in a season on Saturday night, hitting a go-ahead three-run home run in the fifth inning against Max Fried of the Braves.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 22 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Jeff McNeil Coming Off Injured List

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (hamstring) is coming off the injured list on Saturday. Outfielder Aaron Altherr is being designated for assignment in a corresponding move. McNeil isn't listed in the starting lineup on Saturday, but we'd expect him to be back in there on Sunday. The 27-year-old has done nothing but hit since […]
