New York Mets

Clay Holmes

SP

Although the schedule says Holmes will pitch at Brooklyn on Sunday, he may not even be in the organization at that point, as Holmes has said himself that he expects to be traded ahead of Monday's deadline. There's always a chance that the Mets hold onto him for the final months of the season, but fantasy managers may have to wait for the right-hander to switch teams before getting a clear picture of his return timeline.

Cionel Perez

RP

Perez has tossed 5.2 scoreless frames with a 9:0 K:BB over his last five appearances but will now be shelved for at least the next couple weeks. The Mets have added Jonathan Pintaro and Xzavion Curry to their bullpen.

Juan Soto

LF

Soto made an early exit from Friday's contest against the Dodgers due to a sore left calf, marking the second time he's been forced out of a game because of his calf since the All-Star break. MRI results confirmed Saturday that the 27-year-old has suffered a strain, and although the Mets haven't provided details regarding the severity of the strain, it will still force him to remain on the shelf until at least Aug. 4. Jorge Polanco figures to see consistent starts as New York's designated hitter while Soto is out, and Eric Wagaman will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to replenish the team's bench depth.

Justin Hagenman

RP

Six weeks have passed since the Mets have provided an update on Hagenman, so the 29-year-old righty could be stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from the fractured rib he sustained in a March 5 Grapefruit League game. Once he finally completes a throwing progression, Hagenman will require an extended minor-league rehab assignment and will likely be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse once he's activated from the 60-day injured list.

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.

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.

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.
