Mets' Reed Garrett: Undergoes UCL surgery on elbow
Rotowire
Garrett underwent UCL reconstruction on his right elbow Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Garrett had hope to avoid UCL surgery and treat the injury with a platelet-rich plasma injection, but ultimately it was decided a reconstruction was the best course of action. The righty previously had an operation to move a nerve in his elbow, so he'll be recovering from dual surgeries on his pitching arm. Garrett will not be ready to pitch again until the 2027 season.

Mets' Sean Manaea: Elbow surgery undetermined
Rotowire
Manaea will be evaluated soon to determine whether he will need surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
Manaea was diagnosed with loose bodies in his pitching elbow in June, which set back his rehab from an oblique strain at the time. He made his season debut just before the All-Star break, stayed off the injured list from that point forward and finished the year with the elbow feeling well. However, Manaea posted a 5.64 ERA over 12 starts and three relief appearances, and it's possible the elbow was a factor in his struggles. More should be known about Manaea's status in the coming weeks.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Thumb surgery imminent
Rotowire
Alvarez will undergo surgery in the coming days to repair a sprained UCL in his right thumb, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Alvarez suffered the injury in late August, but he elected to delay surgery until the offseason and returned to play in early September. The operation could delay Alvarez's offseason workouts a bit, but it should not affect his availability for the beginning of spring training.

Mets' Sean Manaea: Fans three in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Manaea walked two batters, struck out three and yielded zero hits across 1.2 innings during the Mets' 4-0 loss to the Marlins on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
Manaea served as the opener for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Mets still fighting for a playoff spot, and he did his part by keeping the Marlins off the board. Manaea began the season on the injured list due to a right oblique strain that he suffered in spring training and didn't make his 2025 debut until July 13. He didn't complete six innings across any of his 15 games (12 starts), and he'll finish the 2025 season with a 5.64 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 75:12 K:BB across 60.2 innings.
Alonso said after Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Marlins that he plans to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and become a free agent this offseason, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Alonso signed a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets in February, which included an opt out after the 2025 season. For the second season in a row, Alonso played in all 162 games for the Mets, batting .272 with 38 home runs, 126 RBI, 87 runs scored and one stolen base. The slugger will now enter free agency with plenty of interested suitors for his talents, though a return to the Mets could remain a possibility.
Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Miami.
Mullins continues to bleed playing time to Tyrone Taylor, ceding center field for a second straight game against a right-handed pitcher. Mullins hasn't generated multiple hits in a game since Aug. 23, and he has gone 7-for-57 (.123) at the plate during that stretch.
Manaea will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Manaea will toe the rubber for the Mets' all-important final regular-season contest. The left-hander has struggled to a 7.64 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in five appearances, including three starts, in September. It's possible that Manaea will be on a short leash versus Miami considering New York is on the postseason bubble, making him an unpredictable fantasy asset in Game 162.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Prolific campaign continues in win
Rotowire
Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Marlins.
Alonso ripped his 38th big fly of the season and his seventh of the month. The All-Star first baseman will likely fall short of what could be his fourth career 40-homer year, barring a multi-homer effort in Sunday's regular-season finale in Miami, but he's once again been a prolific four-category fantasy stud in 2025. Through 161 outings, Alonso is batting a career-high .273 with 126 RBI and 87 runs scored.

Mets' Clay Holmes: Silences Marlins in 12th win
Rotowire
Holmes (12-8) earned the win Saturday against the Marlins, allowing one hit and three walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out two.
With the Mets' backs against the wall in a heated wild-card race, Holmes came through with one of his best performances of the season. It was the first time all year that the right-hander fired at least six shutout innings, and he induced 11 groundouts on just 78 pitches. New York had to manage Holmes' workload down the stretch of his first full campaign as a starter, but it's still been a successful transition overall. He'll close the regular season with a 3.53 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 129:66 K:BB over a career-high 165.2 frames.

Mets' Jared Young: Brought up from Syracuse
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Young will join the active roster for the closing days of the regular season as the Mets place Brett Baty (oblique) on the injured list. Young should provide depth at the corner infield positions, but he doesn't have a clear path to playing time.

Mets' Brett Baty: Placed on IL
Rotowire
The Mets placed Baty on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right oblique strain.
Baty departed Friday's game with pain in his side, and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strained right oblique. The Mets are still in the mix for the NL's final Wild Card spot, but they'll have to chase a postseason berth without Baty. The third baseman will be eligible for reinstatement Oct. 7, though it's unclear if he'll require more than the minimum stay. Jared Young was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
