SAN FRANCISCO -- Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, reliever Michael Tonkin arrived at Dodger Stadium feeling discombobulated. Tonkin, an offseason signee, made the Mets’ Opening Day roster but was designated for assignment only days later, because the team needed to call in a fresh reliever. While Tonkin sat on the

LOS ANGELES -- In the third inning of an otherwise forgettable 10-0 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday, the Mets accomplished something that had eluded them over their first 20 games. Making his first start behind the plate, Tomás Nido -- one of two roster replacements for injured starting catcher

LOS ANGELES -- As Francisco Alvarez spends the next 6-8 weeks recovering from a season-altering left thumb injury, he can at least lean on the counsel of one of his best friends. Teammate Brett Baty underwent an identical operation to repair a torn UCL in his right thumb in August

LOS ANGELES -- Entering this season, Francisco Alvarez ranked among the brightest aspects of an improving Mets organization. Coming off a strong rookie year, Alvarez profiled as one of the league’s most obvious breakout candidates. If he is to make good on that potential, Alvarez will need to wait some

LOS ANGELES -- Until Friday night at Dodger Stadium, Francisco Lindor had not recorded an extra-base hit from the left side of the plate. As a lefty, Lindor hadn’t recorded many hits at all. Although he has shown some recent flashes of emerging from an early-season slump, nearly all those

NEW YORK -- For more than six decades, the Mets have been defined by two colors: blue from the Dodgers, orange from the Giants. Nearly every uniform they’ve worn since their inception has featured some combination of those hues. They’re about to add two more colors into the regular rotation:

NEW YORK -- Good teams need good glue. For the Mets, Tyrone Taylor is proving sticky enough to be just that type of guy. Taylor was not the most decisive force in a 9-1 win over the Pirates on Wednesday afternoon, which gave New York a series sweep and four

We've already seen several noteworthy callups in this young season. The biggest came when the Orioles promoted the best prospect in baseball, Jackson Holliday, on April 10. The Dodgers summoned fellow Top 100 prospect Andy Pages on Tuesday to bolster their outfield. When Justin Steele strained a hamstring on Opening

Every single year we tell ourselves how long the baseball season is, and how short a time it takes for the narrative to flip. And every single year, once Opening Day rolls around, we forget, before a bunch of teams remind us in March and April. One of those teams

NEW YORK -- Butch Huskey was mostly unaware what would happen that night in 1997, when, in the fifth inning at Shea Stadium, play suddenly stopped.
