Jeff McNeil Out With Hamstring Tightness
New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday after he felt some left hamstring tightness on Tuesday. McNeil doesn't think the injury is serious and expects to be back in the lineup on Thursday. J.D. Davis is starting in left field and is hitting second, while Todd Frazier […]
Orioles Acquire Keon Broxton
The Baltimore Orioles acquired former New York Mets outfielder Keon Broxton in exchange for international bonus slots on Wednesday. Baltimore also acquired pitcher Chandler Shepherd off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A, transferred pitcher Alex Cobb (back) to the 60-day injured list and designated pitcher Yefry Ramirez for assignment. Broxton had only received 53 plate appearances […]
Jacob deGrom Looks to Bounce Back Wednesday
New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom will look to rebound after a poor start in his last outing. DeGrom will face the Washington Nationals at Citi Field tonight in a marquee matchup against ace Max Scherzer. Run support issues aside, deGrom has performed well against the Nationals in the last few years. The righty pitched […]

Brandon Nimmo To Undergo MRI
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck), who was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday, will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday. He said he hasn't recovered from the neck injury that cost him two games in April, and it has bothered him ever since. Nimmo hasn't really been good all year and is hitting […]
J.D. Davis Comes Up Big In Pinch-Hit Moment
Stepping up to the plate as a pinch-hitter for Zack Wheeler in the seventh inning, J.D. Davis had a huge moment. The 26-year-old drilled a three-run home run that put his club up a run. Davis is currently on pace for the best season of his young career, batting .283 through 39 games. This was […]
Peter Alonso Smacks Game-Tying Home Run In Win
After Jeurys Familia allowed a pair of runs to score, coughing up a New York Mets lead, the offense needed to step up late. Rookie Peter Alonso was the man for the job, as he drilled a game-tying home run in the eighth, giving his club new life as they traverse a perilous time during […]
Zack Wheeler Posts Quality Start, Gets No-Decision
While the New York Mets walked off in victory Tuesday night, starter Zack Wheeler did enough to earn a win. The 28-year-old went seven, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out six. A pair of home runs conceded were a major factor in his performance. Wheeler went down early thanks to a second-inning […]
Brandon Nimmo is Scratched on Tuesday
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Nimmo is dealing with a stiff neck, so this seems like just a day-to-day type of issue. Juan Lagares will play center field and bat eighth versus righty Erick Fedde. Lagares has little fantasy appeal and can be avoided […]
Austin Riley the Latest Braves Prospect To Make Instant Impact
Braves rookie Austin Riley is the most recent of the Uber-Prospects to make their way to Atlanta this season and he's already off to a fast start. Riley joins Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Dansby Swanson to form a young core of players to fill out the Braves lineup, along with franchise cornerstone Freddie Freeman. […]
MLB DFS Prop Picks for 5/21/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
At this point in the Major League Baseball season there are some legitimate surprises, players whose production is above and beyond what might have been expected coming into the year. Maybe it won’t last, but in the here and now of playing props, those hot starts have to be taken into account. Consider a couple […]
Jason Vargas Eyeing Return to Rotation
Jason Vargas is expected to rejoin the Mets' rotation later this week after sustaining a hamstring injury. Vargas struck out five while and allowed one run over four innings in his first rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. As shaky as he was before the injury, he shouldn't be worth a look on your […]
Seth Lugo Lands on Injured List
New York Mets relief pitcher Seth Lugo (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Lugo is dealing with right shoulder tendinitis, so this could be something that sidelines him for longer than 10 days. He was pitching well out of the bullpen, so it's shame to watch him go down. Hector Santiago has […]
Robinson Cano is Benched on Monday
New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano has been benched for lack of hustle, so he'll be out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Cano failed to run hard down to first base on multiple occlusions during the weekend series versus the Marlins. However, this was probably a smart decision with […]
Michael Conforto Symptom Free For Last Three Days
The New York Mets received some good news about outfielder Michael Conforto (concussion) on Monday. The Mets, who were awaiting word from their medical team on Monday afternoon regarding what sort of activities Conforto can start to do, and when, were at least given some good news, as he has now gone three days symptom-free. […]
Yoenis Cespedes Suffers Multiple Fractures In Ranch Accident
New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (heel) suffered multiple fractures in his right ankle after a "violent fall" on his ranch in Port St. Lucie. It is not known when Cespedes, who has been out all year rehabbing from heel surgeries, will be able to return to the Mets' lineup. He is now back in […]
Jed Lowrie Moved To 60-Day IL
New York Mets second basemen Jed Lowrie (hamstring) has been moved to the 60-day IL. Lowrie has already spent 53 days on the 10-day IL so this move is not a sign that he will be out long term. However, there has been little to no news since he suffered a setback early last week, […]
Wilmer Font Slated To Start For Mets
Originally, the New York Mets were going to deploy Drew Gagnon as their opener for tonight's game, but now they have turned to Wilmer Font to take the ball first. Font has made two starts this season for the Mets, in which he went four innings (60 pitches) against the Padres and 2 1/3 innings […]
Drew Gagnon To Open Game For Mets
New York Mets pitcher Drew Gagnon will be utilized as the opener Monday night against Washington. This will be the first start of the year for Gagnon, who has pitched 11 innings so far in six games this season. Gagnon has been effective lately, as he has not allowed a run in his last five […]
Noah Syndergaard Notches Tough-Luck Loss Sunday
New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard had some bad luck on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Syndergaard tossed seven innings of two-run ball, giving up five hits while striking out three in a loss. It was an odd start for the ace, who struggled to accrue many strikeouts, but he was efficient nonetheless. The Mets […]

While it wasn't necessarily a week of attention-grabbing headlines, you may have noticed that I have continuously remarked about the surprising starts for the season, so let's […]
Amed Rosario is Out on Sunday
New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. It appears this is just a routine day off for Rosario. Adeiny Hechavarria will play shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Hechavarria is not a reliable fantasy option here. J.D. Davis or Robinson […]

Steven Matz Officially Activated For Saturday Start
The New York Mets officially activated starter Steven Matz for Saturday's game versus the Miami Marlins sending down Paul Sewald in a corresponding move. Matz has been on the IL over the last couple of weeks with a forearm injury and returns in a juicy matchup against an uninspiring Marlins team. This matchup makes him […]
