WASHINGTON -- The Mets, who have benefited greatly from an infusion of youth and speed in recent weeks, are about to add even more of it to their roster. The team is set to promote No. 11 prospect Nick Morabito, a source told MLB.com, adding him to a roster that

WASHINGTON -- One by one and two by two, they came around to score, rapidly transforming a close game into a laugher. Throughout the 10th and 11th innings at Nationals Park, the mood was tense. In the 12th, things changed entirely.

WASHINGTON -- Had the Mets not stormed back in improbable fashion to win Sunday’s Subway Series finale against the Yankees, Bo Bichette’s face almost certainly would have been plastered across the back pages of every New York City tabloid. It was not just Bichette’s dropped popup that was at issue.

WASHINGTON -- To date, Jorge Polanco has appeared in just 14 games for the Mets. For the past month, he has been on the injured list due to a bout of left Achilles bursitis. Although team officials don’t have much more clarity on Polanco’s situation than they did when he

WASHINGTON -- Needing a rotation fill-in for injured starter Clay Holmes, the Mets will turn to one of the most polished strike-throwers in their farm system. The Mets plan to call up 13th-ranked prospect Zach Thornton to pitch in a bulk role Wednesday against the Nationals, either as a starter

NEW YORK -- As two Yankees infielders collided, Carson Benge raised his arms high into the air, celebrating the walk-off win that was unfolding behind him. The Mets had just pulled off the type of magic that had been foreign to them for the last year and a half. The

NEW YORK -- It was Luke Weaver who, after the Mets snapped one of the longest losing streaks in franchise history last month, stood on the field, looked up at the Citi Field crowd and crowed, “I’m not the biggest guy in the room, but I ain’t scared of nobody.”

NEW YORK -- Even manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the gloom that settled over the Mets' clubhouse late Friday night, as players learned that Clay Holmes will miss much of the season due to a fractured right fibula. Although Mendoza declined to put a timetable on Holmes’ return, he said the

NEW YORK -- A Mets team already decimated by injuries endured a nightmare scenario late Friday night, when the club learned that starting pitcher Clay Holmes suffered a fractured right fibula and will “be down for a long time,” according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Holmes was placed on the 15-day

NEW YORK -- Juan Soto ticked off his list of ailments in a matter-of-fact manner: “The hand, calf, elbow, everything.” The start of the season has not been kind to Soto, who landed on the injured list back in April and hasn’t quite been 100% since. Soto did manage to

NEW YORK -- The Mets can ill afford to lose Juan Soto, their best and most expensive hitter, at any juncture of the season. They can afford it even less with nearly half their starting lineup on the injured list. So it came as quite a relief Wednesday when X-rays

NEW YORK -- When the Mets fell behind by three runs in the first inning Thursday, it took only a few innings for Brett Baty to punch back with a game-tying, two-run homer. When New York put a runner in scoring position one inning later, it took just two batters

NEW YORK -- Speed has always been a part of A.J. Ewing’s prospect profile. On-base acumen, absolutely. Power? Not so much. Yet Ewing, who hit just three home runs last season in the Minors, needed only three games to launch his first as a big leaguer. The recent callup took

NEW YORK -- Nolan McLean returned to the mound Thursday for his ninth start of the season against the Tigers, carrying a 1-2 record and a 2.78 ERA into the game at Citi Field. Looking for his first win since April 3, he tossed seven innings of three-run ball, striking

NEW YORK -- Don’t expect Francisco Lindor back in the Mets’ lineup anytime soon. Although an MRI taken Wednesday on Lindor’s left calf revealed “signs of healing,” according to manager Carlos Mendoza, Lindor still must strengthen his leg in the weight room before beginning a running progression. Only after that

NEW YORK -- In the two days A.J. Ewing has been in the Majors, Carson Benge said, “I’ve already been treating him like a rookie.” That may seem rich coming from Benge, a rookie himself with all of 39 games of Major League experience. But even in that scant amount

NEW YORK -- Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez’s history of major injuries has continued into 2026. An MRI taken Wednesday revealed that Alvarez has a torn meniscus in his right knee, requiring surgery to fix. He landed on the injured list and is likely to miss six to eight weeks. It’s

NEW YORK -- Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez, who has battled a string of physical ailments throughout his young career, departed Tuesday’s 10-2 win over the Tigers in the sixth inning with a right knee injury. He was diagnosed with a meniscus tear after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday. Batting with

NEW YORK -- What stands out most on A.J. Ewing’s scouting report is the speed. MLB Pipeline, which rates Ewing as the No. 2 prospect in Flushing and No. 78 in baseball, gave his speed a 70 grade on the traditional 20-80 scouting scale. That translates to “plus-plus,” or some

NEW YORK -- A.J. Ewing’s presence on Tuesday added one potentially premium bat to the Mets’ lineup. Which is important, because three missing veterans could remain out for some time. Here’s the latest on Francisco Lindor, Luis Robert Jr. and Jorge Polanco. Lindor Injury: Left calf strain Lindor is due

DENVER -- Not even a May snowstorm can cool these Mets. Imagine reading that sentence one week ago, as the Mets headed West having lost 17 of their previous 20 games, with several key hitters on the injured list and no obvious path to improvement. Many of the problems that
