The offensive tap was shut off when Alonso went into his homerun trot prematurely and barely made it into second.

[Cowtipper]

Gary's going a little too heavy on the 'decline' of Reed Garrett. The guy's still got a 0.78 ERA, Gary. Chill out a bit.

[Edgy MD]

Garrett had all three of his pitches working nicely there.

More injury updates:



Shintaro Fujinami—"The Mets recalled Fujinami from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and placed him on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain. Fujinami hadn't pitched for Syracuse since May 3 due to the injury. He had yet to make his 2024 debut for the Mets, but he was likely recalled and placed on the 15-day IL in the event New York needs to move him to the 60-day IL down the road to open up a 40-man roster spot." Expected to be out until at least Jun 1.



Kodai Senga—"Positive strides in bullpen session: Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Thursday in an interview with SportsNet New York that Senga (shoulder) recently had "a good bullpen" session where he was "making some strides." Senga had to pull back on facing hitters while he dealt with mechanical issues, but he and the Mets were happy with how his last throwing session went. Stearns said he wasn't sure exactly when Senga would be ready to begin a rehab assignment, but it could happen relatively soon. The right-hander has been sidelined all season with a right posterior shoulder capsule strain." Expected to be out until at least Jun 11.



Brooks Raley—"Diagnosed with UCL strain: Manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Raley was diagnosed with a UCL strain in his left elbow after undergoing further imaging, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. Mendoza noted that Raley's UCL is healing, but the Mets will shut him down for two weeks before re-evaluating him, at which point the team will determine next steps. The left-hander has been on the injured list since April 21 and was initially expected to be activated after the 15-day minimum, but he hasn't made any significant progress toward a return to throwing." Expected to be out until at least Jun 21.

Lindor got a hit!

Last batch of updates:



Tylor Megill—"Returning to rotation Monday: Megill (shoulder) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's series opener versus the Guardians in Cleveland, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. After exiting in his season debut March 31 with a right shoulder strain and landing on the IL, Megill is finally ready to make his second start with the Mets nearly seven weeks later. According to Puma, Megill said the injury was caused by the lower arm slot he used on his curveball, but the right-hander reported no issues with throwing his breaking pitches during his four-start minor-league rehab assignment. Megill most recently tossed 5.1 shutout innings and 74 pitches in his final rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse on May 12, so he's not expected to be under any major workload restrictions as he steps back into the big-league rotation." Expected to be out until at least May 20.



Drew Smith—"Return pushed back again: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Smith won't be activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday after recently experiencing a "pinch" in his right shoulder, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. He will have his return pushed back a second time because the Mets need length from their bullpen and Smith isn't ready to provide that yet. Smith is still able to continue throwing in spite of the setback, so he may not be ruled out for a return from the IL for Thursday's series finale in Philadelphia or at some point this weekend." Expected to be out until at least May 19.

Let's go Brandon

[Cowtipper]

A high-quality Bran-dong to make it hurt that much more when the save is blown in approximately 15 minutes.

[Edgy MD]

There's a minor monkey off a back.



They finish the job this afternoon and it might shed a few more.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that ups my confidence in a W here ... a tiny bit anyway.

[ashie62]

Ding dong ring the bell

[Cowtipper]

The Marlins are playing like the 𝟷̶𝟺̶-̶𝟹̶𝟹̶ 15-32 team that they are.

[Frayed Knot]

Now I feel better.

After all, when was the last time you saw a 4-run 9th inning lead blown?

I've got an eye on you, Bender!

[Cowtipper]

3-2. Uh oh!

[Cowtipper]

Should we get the dirges ready?

[Cowtipper]

In all seriousness, I understand now why the Mets didn't ditch Garrett in the offseason.

[Edgy MD]

New relief ace.

MLB.tv is half-off today if anyone is interested, by the way. I bought a subscription earlier today.
