New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard has been on the disabled list due to a strained ligament in his right index finger. He’s now slated to get a second opinion on the injury. Originally set to return against the New York Yankees on Sunday night after missing three starts, Syndergaard’s finger swelled up after […]

No Timetable For Yoenis Cespedes’ Return

Just a few days ago, it seemed like New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was nearing a return from the right hip flexor injury that has kept him on the shelf. That was unfortunately not to be, as Cespedes’ quadriceps tightened up and has kept him out even longer. According to general manager Sandy Alderson, […]

A.J. Ramos Not Expected Back Soon

With all the injuries the New York Mets have incurred this season, the shoulder injury to reliever A.J. Ramos has almost become an afterthought. But alas, the latest news on Ramos is not good. Ramos is currently getting a second opinion to help decide between surgery and a more conservative rehab plan. He's not expected […]

Peter Alonso Could Be Promoted To Triple-A Soon

While news came out on Monday that New York Mets prospect Peter Alonso would not be called up to the Major Leagues “no matter what” in 2018, apparently that statement thankfully didn’t include a promotion to Triple-A Las Vegas. Currently destroying pitching for Double-A Binghamton, Alonso could move up the ranks “soon,” according to general manager […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Is “Ready To Go” On Tuesday

New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) is “ready to go” and will be in the lineup Tuesday, according to general manager Sandy Alderson. Cabrera seemed to have injured his hamstring running to first base on Sunday night against the New York Yankees, leading many to believe he would sit out at least a few […]

Zack Wheeler Looks To Continue Resurgence In Atlanta

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has quietly gotten his career back on track in 2018. You wouldn’t know it by his 4.57 ERA, but trust us on this one.

Mets Won’t Call Up Peter Alonso “No Matter What” In 2018

If for some reason you’ve been holding onto mashing New York Mets first baseman prospect Peter Alonso in a redraft league, you can probably safely cut bait for 2018. According to Mets radio announcer Howie Rose, citing a “pretty strong source” with the team, the Mets will not call up Alonso to the majors “no […]

Mets Prospect Jamie Callahan Undergoing Shoulder Surgery

According to Triple-A Las Vegas manager Tony DeFrancesco, New York Mets prospect pitcher Jamie Callahan will undergo shoulder surgery. Tough break for Callahan, who we can only assume will miss the rest of the season (though we don’t know exactly what type of injury led to the surgery). Callahan has been out since April 21, […]

Mets Skipping Jason Vargas’ Next Start

With an off day on Monday, the New York Mets are tweaking with their starting rotation a little bit and will be skipping Jason Vargas’ next start. He was scheduled to pitch Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves, and while it’s unconfirmed as of now, his next start would seemingly line up to be either on […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Stays In New York With Mets On Road

While we don’t have any updates as to the actual injury suffered by New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera on Sunday, we do have something of an update on his likely playing time. With the Mets heading on the road to Atlanta on Monday, Cabrera remained in New York. Of course, he could always […]

David Wright Ramps Up Baseball Activities

While this will unfortunately likely go for naught, New York Mets third baseman David Wright has ramped his level of baseball activity in an attempt to make it back to the Major Leagues. On Sunday, Wright took 20 swings off a tee, played catch, and fielded grounders. Dealing with a plethora of back, shoulder, and […]

Anthony Swarzak Gets Save For Mets

When closer Jeurys Familia went down with a shoulder injury last week, many assumed Robert Gsellman would pick up the ninth inning duties for the New York Mets. Those assumptions would seem to be wrong. On Sunday against the New York Yankees, Gsellman pitched the eighth inning in a 2-0 victory, while the ninth inning […]

Mets Evaluating Seth Lugo’s Role After Great Performance

New York Mets pitcher Seth Lugo dominated the best offense in baseball on Sunday night in a spot start, the New York Yankees, and after pitching successfully out of the bullpen all year it’s about time his role is reconsidered. According to manager Mickey Callaway, Lugo is “making a case” for a role in the […]

Asdrubal Cabrera To Be Reassessed Monday

New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera left Sunday night’s game against the New York Yankees with a tight left hamstring, and will be reassessed on Monday according to manager Mickey Callaway.

Todd Frazier Hits Second Homer In As Many Days

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier came off the disabled list on June 5 after missing roughly a month, and he’s doing his best to make his presence felt. After going hitless in his first game back, he’s picked up base knocks in the last four to get him going. Even better, he’s gone […]

The Dominic Smith Era In Queens Begins

It took much longer than anyone expected, but New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith has finally been called up for good (or so, we think). Smith gets the call to the bigs after the Mets released first baseman Adrian Gonzalez on Monday, finally acknowledging a completely failed experiment. Unfortunately, Smith hasn’t done much in […]

Seth Lugo Dominates Yankees To Avoid Sweep

The New York Mets needed a big pitching performance out of starting pitcher Seth Lugo to avoid a sweep against the crosstown New York Yankees on Sunday, and they got one. Lugo dominated the Yankees across six scoreless innings pitched, allowing only two hits without any walks and eight strikeouts. What a night for Lugo, […]

Mets Bringing Up Ty Kelly

In a corresponding transaction with the impending DFA of catcher Jose Lobaton, the New York Mets are calling up second baseman Ty Kelly. Kelly was having a solid year down in Triple-A Las Vegas, slashing .252/.346/.450 with six home runs, 34 runs scored and 29 RBI across 229 plate appearances. However, he’s not likely to […]

Jose Lobaton To Be Designated For Assignment

New York Mets catcher Jose Lobaton will be designated for assignment on Tuesday, the team announced. This is one of several roster moves the Mets announced on Monday, coinciding with the release of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and the recalling of first baseman Dominic Smith and second baseman Ty Kelly. With Kevin Plawecki back from […]

Adrian Gonzalez Released By The Mets

The New York Mets have released first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. He was mired in a 1-for-19 slump which had brought his batting average down to .237. Gonzalez is in the last year of his huge seven-year deal and had given the Mets six home runs with 26 RBI. Gonzalez used to be a fairly reliable […]

Mets Agree To Deal With First Rounder Jarred Kelenic

If there’s one thing the New York Mets don’t have to worry about these days, it’s coming to terms with first round pick Jarred Kelenic. The outfielder’s bonus is expected to be roughly $5 million. Taken sixth overall, Kelenic has commonly been described as the best position player out of high school in the draft. […]

No Timetable For Yoenis Cespedes' Return

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was nearing a return from the right hip flexor strain that’s had him on the disabled list since May 14, but due to a setback we may now be a ways away again. Cesepdes left Saturday’s game with Double-A Binghamton in the bottom of the third inning with tightness […]

Michael Conforto May Head To Triple-A

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto could be demoted to Triple-A. Conforto has struggled relatively to his own standards. In 2018, Conforto is hitting just .219 with seven home runs in 212 plate appearances. However, Conforto is second on the team in batting average, OBP, OPS and strikeout rate over the last calendar month. Conforto […]
