NEW YORK -- Mark Vientos’ disappointing season took another downturn on Thursday, when he fractured a bone in his right hand during the Mets’ 7-3 win over the Royals at Citi Field. Clearly in pain upon being struck on the right hand by a 92.2 mph Michael Wacha sinker, Vientos

NEW YORK -- When Mets interim manager Andy Green broke into the big leagues as a player in 2004, he shared his first clubhouse with 40-year-old Randy Johnson and 36-year-old Roberto Alomar, two future Hall of Famers nearing the ends of their careers. Twelve years later, in his first year

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ bullpen carousel continued Thursday with the addition of right-hander Dan Hammer, an electric arm with deep-seated control issues. Hammer, a 28-year-old whom the Mets signed to a Minor League contract in March, throws in the upper 90s but walked 17 batters over 20 1/3 innings

NEW YORK -- A.J. Ewing hit the first leadoff home run of his career on Wednesday. If the Mets have their way, it will be the first of many. That’s not to say Ewing is or ever will be a classic power hitter. He’s not, and probably won’t be. But

NEW YORK -- What seemed like just a poor outing for Austin Warren turned out to have been caused by injury. A night after Warren gave up five runs in a 16-12 loss to the Royals, the Mets placed him on the injured list with a right forearm strain. An

NEW YORK -- As the old expression goes, errors love company. The Royals committed three of them on the same play in the first inning Tuesday at Citi Field, allowing Carson Benge to race around the basepaths on a play that netted three runs for the Mets in a 16-12

NEW YORK -- Jorge Polanco, the Mets’ $40 million offseason signing who has battled Achilles issues since Spring Training and been on the injured list since April, made his long-awaited return Tuesday to open New York's three-game series against the Royals at Citi Field. Polanco slotted sixth in the lineup

NEW YORK -- It was just two years ago that Mets vice president of amateur scouting Kris Gross used the first pick of his tenure on Carson Benge, a two-way college player who has since become a key part of the Mets’ hope for the future. Already in the Majors,

ATLANTA -- Nolan McLean's latest start did not begin swimmingly. It ended up in a much better place. McLean allowed three first-inning runs to the Braves at Truist Park on Sunday, putting the Mets in an early hole. But beginning with a double play to end that inning, McLean retired

ATLANTA -- It is July, which means it’s Trade Deadline season. Asked about the Deadline shortly after the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza earlier this month, president of baseball operations David Stearns responded that he hasn’t thought about it at all. At the time, that made sense. Stearns has been

ATLANTA -- At the precise moment Juan Soto learned he had been voted a National League All-Star starter, he was leading the circuit with a .971 OPS. That would be impressive in any context. That Soto was doing it for one of the worst teams in the NL encapsulates, in

ATLANTA -- This was not exactly what the Mets had in mind for Kodai Senga heading into the season. When the Truist Park bullpen door swung open in the sixth inning Friday and Senga came jogging through, it represented the sum of nearly three years of false starts and frustrations

TORONTO -- In theory, Freddy Peralta is the Mets’ most valuable Trade Deadline asset -- a two-time All-Star smack in the middle of his physical prime, with three months left on his contract with a last-place team that loathes handing out long-term deals to pitchers. In reality, Peralta has been

TORONTO -- When Francisco Alvarez tore his right meniscus back in May, Mets officials bemoaned the fact that, yet again, Alvarez would not enjoy a long, uninterrupted runway to try to make good on his prospect potential. Yet Alvarez returned to the Mets in about half the time those team

TORONTO -- For better and for worse, Nolan McLean has had about as uneven a season as any starting pitcher in baseball. Some nights, McLean is sharp, flashing the form that made him a Rookie of the Year favorite coming into this season. Other nights, he is confoundingly hittable. Tuesday

TORONTO -- Luis Robert Jr., a key Mets offseason acquisition who has been sidelined since late April, is finally making tangible progress from a lumbar spine disc herniation. Robert began a Minor League rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse, playing five innings in center field and finishing 1-for-2 with a

TORONTO -- For those wondering how things are going for the 2026 Mets: In less than three hours on Monday, Juan Soto and A.J. Ewing misplayed a ball into an inside-the-park home run; Francisco Lindor chastised himself on the field after committing a costly fielding error; Ronny Mauricio accidentally struck

TORONTO -- While Mets officials aren’t publicly placing a timeline on second baseman Marcus Semien’s return from injury, they are reportedly bracing to be without the veteran for more than a month. “He’s got a little bit of time before he’s back on the field for us,” interim manager Andy

NEW YORK -- For the last three months, Carlos Mendoza manned the helm of one of the most disappointing teams in baseball -- certainly one of the most disappointing teams in recent Mets memory. His bosses took pains to assure anyone questioning Mendoza’s job status that the club’s shortcomings were

NEW YORK -- Following a successful final rehab game with Triple-A Syracuse, Francisco Lindor was activated from the 10-day injured list for the second game of the Mets' doubleheader against the Cubs on Wednesday. He was in the lineup playing shortstop and batting second behind leadoff hitter Carson Benge. Ronny

NEW YORK -- Only seven times this season have the Mets played a full game with both Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor in their lineup. Tuesday night, with Lindor hours away from returning from the injured list, the Mets lost Soto to another injury. The good news is that Soto
