New York Mets

Bo Bichette

SS

Bichette's soreness helps to explain why he has been left out of the starting lineup since the Mets began their series against Boston. Green noted that Bichette is available off the bench, but the 28-year-old infielder may also sit out Sunday's game to give him more time to fully "reset" ahead of the second half. If that ends up being the case, Zack Short would be likely to pick up another start in the infield.

Clay Holmes

SP

It's the first time Holmes has faced hitters since he suffered a fractured right fibula back in mid-May. The right-hander could begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. He posted a 2.39 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 52.2 innings before getting hurt.

Mark Vientos

1B

Vientos was struck by a 92 mph sinker thrown by Michael Wacha in the second inning of Thursday's game versus the Royals, and imaging revealed the unfortunate news. He will likely be sidelined until sometime in August, though the Mets have yet to divulge a timeline for the infielder. Vientos has been used mainly in a short-side platoon at first base over the past five weeks.

Austin Warren

RP

Warren landed on the injured list Wednesday with a right forearm strain, but the imaging results confirm he won't need to go under the knife to address the injury. He remains without an official return timeline, but he will most likely be out longer than the 15-day minimum.

Marcus Semien

2B

Semien landed on the 10-day injured list in late June with a left hip flexor strain that's bothered him at least since early May. He believes the nagging injury affected his performance and was a result of compensating for an old foot injury, noting that "it got to the point where sprinting 100 percent was not possible." However, after working to "strengthen some things," Semien is "feeling really good." Semien will likely require a rehab assignment before returning to the Mets' active roster.

Luis Robert Jr.

CF

Robert has been sidelined by a lumbar spine disc herniation since late April, and the injury was severe enough for him to be transferred to the 60-day injured list May 27. He progressed to taking a full BP in a batting cage last week and is ready to take the next step in his recovery program to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. Barring a setback, Robert could be back with the Mets following the mid-July All-Star break.

Dedniel Nunez

RP

Nunez is less than a year removed from undergoing Tommy John surgery but is already been cleared for game action. Barring any setbacks, the reliever appears in line for his season debut around the All-Star break. Nunez boasts a 2.82 ERA and 59:14 K:BB over 44.2 innings during his time with the Mets.

Reed Garrett

RP

The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Bryan Hudson. Garrett underwent UCL reconstruction surgery in October and will miss the entire 2026 season.

Justin Hagenman

RP

It's unclear when Hagenman sustained the injury, but his placement on the 60-day IL means that he won't be eligible to make his 2026 regular-season debut until at least late May. In a corresponding move to bolster the bullpen, the Mets claimed southpaw Richard Lovelady off waivers from the Nationals.

Tylor Megill

SP

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for MJ Melendez, who signing became official Thursday. Megill will miss the entire 2026 season following September 2025 Tommy John surgery.
