LATEST INJURIES
OF Brandon Nimmo
Injury: Right knee soreness
Expected return: Spring Training
Status: Nimmo received a gel injection on March 7, returned to game action as a DH on March 13 and resumed outfield work four days later. He believes he'll be a full go for Opening Day. (updated March 17)
RHP Dedniel Núñez
Injury: Strained right flexor tendon
Expected return: Opening Day or shortly thereafter
Status: After spending the winter rehabbing, Núñez made his spring debut with a scoreless inning on March 17. He'll either be ready for Opening Day or will join the team slightly after that date. (updated March 17)
INF Ronny Mauricio
Injury: Torn ACL in right knee
Expected return: Early 2025
Status: Mauricio underwent arthroscopic surgery on Aug. 2 to remove scar tissue resulting from his original operation. He won't appear in spring games or break camp with an affiliate, but the Mets believe he should return to the field early this season. (updated March 16)
LHP Sean Manaea
Injury: Strained right oblique
Expected return: Mid- to late April
Status: Manaea was shut down in late February and will miss Opening Day. He was cleared to begin throwing the week of March 10 but still must go through a full, Spring Training-style progression. (updated March 13) More >>
C Francisco Alvarez
Injury: Fractured left hamate bone
Expected return: 6-8 weeks
Status: Alvarez fractured his hamate on March 8 and underwent surgery two days later. If all goes well, he could return to the Mets in late April. (updated March 12) More >>
LHP A.J. Minter
Injury: Labrum tear in left hip
Expected return: Possibly Opening Day
Status: Minter made his spring debut March 12 and will continue throwing every few days in hopes of being ready for Opening Day. Even if he misses that mark, he shouldn't need much additional time. (updated March 12) More >>
INF Nick Madrigal
Injury: Fractured left shoulder
IL date: Feb. 24 (60-day IL)
Expected return: 2026
Status: Madrigal dislocated and fractured his shoulder during a Feb. 23 Grapefruit League game and subsequently underwent season-ending surgery. He's under team control through 2026, should the Mets decide to tender him a contract. (updated March 12) More >>
RHP Christian Scott
Injury: Sprained UCL in right elbow
Expected return: 2026
Status: Scott underwent a hybrid Tommy John surgery in September 2024 and will almost certainly miss all of 2025. He began throwing for the first time again on March 11. (updated March 12)
RHP Frankie Montas
Injury: High-grade right lat strain
Expected return: Late May or June
Status: Upon straining his lat in mid-February, Montas entered a period of six to eight weeks without throwing. He will need a full, Spring Training-style buildup once he's recovered, taking him into May or potentially June. (updated Feb. 17) More >>
RHP Drew Smith
Injury: Recovery from Tommy John surgery with internal brace
IL date: Feb. 13 (60-day IL)
