Top Mets News

  • Mets' Kevin Herget: Loses roster spot

    Herget was designated for assignment by the Mets on Thursday, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

    Herget has spent nearly the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Syracuse, so the move won't affect where he is pitching, though it does make his return to the majors with the Mets less likely. Jose Castillo was added to the roster in the corresponding move.

  • Mets' Jose Castillo: Headed to New York

    Castillo was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Mets on Thursday, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

    Castillo was cast off Arizona's 40-man roster Monday but found a new home quickly. He has only 46.2 innings in the majors since debuting in 2018, so he'll likely be in a depth role in his new organization.

  • Mets' Paul Blackburn: Needs two more rehab starts

    Blackburn (knee) is expected to make two more rehab starts before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Joe Pantorno of AMNY.com reports.

    Blackburn reached 60 pitches in his last rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday and is aiming for the 75-pitch mark Friday with Double-A Binghamton. He's expected to make an additional rehab start after that. There doesn't appear to currently be room for Blackburn in the Mets' rotation, so he could be slotted into long relief when he's activated later this month. Blackburn has been out all season with right knee inflammation.

  • Mets' Drew Smith: Rehab progressing

    Smith (elbow) has been playing catch from 120 feet up to three times per week and threw 10 pitches from halfway up the mound earlier this week, Joe Pantorno of AMNY.com reports.

    Coming back from his second Tommy John surgery, Smith hopes to throw from the top of the bump in 2-to-3 weeks. The goal for the reliever is to begin a rehab assignment later this summer and return to the Mets before the end of the season, although he might not make it back until 2026. The Mets re-signed Smith in February to a one-year deal with a club option for next season.

  • Mets' Clay Holmes: Gives up two homers in loss

    Holmes (5-2) took the loss against the Pirates on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.

    Holmes faced the minimum number of batters in three of six innings pitched. However, he gave up two-run homers to Matt Gorski and Jared Triolo in the second and fifth frames, respectively, and Holmes wasn't able to escape the loss as the Mets' offense couldn't muster up any runs. It was just the second time this season that Holmes gave up more than three runs, which raised his ERA to 3.14 across 48.2 innings. His next start is slated next week at Fenway Park against the Red Sox.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Sitting Wednesday

    Alvarez is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Alvarez will get a breather after going 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Luis Torrens (groin) will work behind home plate and bat out of the sixth spot Wednesday.

  • Mets' Luis Torrens: Back in lineup

    Torrens (groin) is starting behind home plate and batting sixth against the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Torrens suffered a groin injury during Sunday's win over the Cubs, but with two days rest he's back in the Mets' lineup Wednesday. He is slashing .247/.313/.425 with four runs scored, one home run and 11 RBI over 80 plate appearances this season.

  • Mets' Brett Baty: Idle against southpaw

    Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    He'll take a seat while southpaw Bailey Falter toes the rubber for Pittsburgh, but the left-handed-hitting Baty seems to have played his way into a regular role against right-handed pitching for the time being. After getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse on May 5, Baty has started in five of the Mets' seven matchups with right-handers during that stretch and has gone 6-for-17 with four home runs and seven RBI.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Could see drop in playing time

    Acuna will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    After sitting against Pirates righty Mitch Keller on Tuesday, the right-handed-hitting Acuna is back in the lineup Wednesday while Pittsburgh sends a lefty (Bailey Falter) to the bump. Before he was out of the lineup Tuesday, Acuna had started in each of the previous five games, but his playing time could become more sporadic with his bat having cooled down of late. Acuna has gone 4-for-20 with no walks and five strikeouts over his last five starts.

  • Mets' Juan Soto: Receiving first day off

    Soto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    After starting in each of the Mets' first 43 games of the season, Soto will hit the bench in what appears to be a planned rest day. With the Mets off Thursday, Soto will effectively get two days to rest up before he returns to The Bronx for a three-game series against his former Yankees squad this weekend. Jose Azocar will replace Soto in right field in the series finale versus Pittsburgh.

  • Mets' Brett Baty: Plays hero in Tuesday's win

    Baty went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

    Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Baty broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning when he drove a Mitch Keller changeup just over the fence in left field. Baty has been getting consistent playing time against right-handed pitching since returning to the majors earlier this month, and he's rewarded the Mets' confidence in him by going 6-for-17 (.353) with four homers and seven RBI over the last six games. The team isn't using Baty and Mark Vientos in a strict platoon at third base, but instead both players have been in the lineup in three of the last four games with Vientos getting two nods at DH. That arrangement will likely continue as long as both young hitters are swinging hot bats.

  • Mets' Edwin Diaz: Escapes with ninth save

    Diaz walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his ninth save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Pirates.

    The final frame was more nervous than it appears from a glance at Diaz's line, as a Francisco Lindor error and stolen bases by Adam Frazier and Isiah Kiner-Falefa put runners on second and third with one out. The Mets closer was able to buckle down though, fanning Bryan Reynolds before getting Joey Bart to ground out to second base. Diaz has yet to blow a save this season despite some bumpy appearances and a career-low 96.6 mph average fastball, posting a 3.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB through 17 innings.

  • Mets' Kodai Senga: Fans seven in no-decision

    Senga came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

    The right-hander didn't give up a run while he was on the mound, but Senga exited the game just shy of his fourth quality start of the year after 102 pitches -- including 32 called or swinging strikes -- and saw a win slip away as well when Reed Garrett walked in the tying run after Senga exited the game. Senga still has yet to be tagged for more than two earned runs in an outing this season, and he'll take a 1.22 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB through 44.1 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Boston.
