Cousins (elbow) received a PRP injection Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Cousins is dealing with a UCL injury in his right elbow, but he's opting against surgery for now. His recovery process was slowed after he recently tested positive for COVID-19, but he's since tested negative. Following Tuesday's injection, the 27-year-old will head to Arizona for 4-to-6 weeks of rest and rehab prior to beginning a throwing program.

Davidson is slated to start Monday's game against the Phillies, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Davidson made his first start of the season Tuesday against the Brewers, and he picked up the win by tossing five scoreless innings. The southpaw will make a second turn through the rotation at home against the Phillies during Monday's series opener.

Medina was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the 27th man in Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Medina served as the 27th man during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he'll serve as an extra man once again during Saturday's twin bill. The right-hander has made three relief appearances for the Mets this year and has struck out six in 6.1 scoreless innings.

Brebbia struck out one in a perfect inning during Friday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Brebbia has given up runs in only three of his 17 appearances this season, and he's yet to surrender a homer. He's allowed three runs in nine inning in May, and he's got a 2.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB with three holds in 18 innings overall.

Reed was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Reed made his 2022 debut during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he allowed no hits and two walks while striking out two in two innings to earn the win. After spending a few days in the minors, the right-hander will rejoin the Mets' bullpen prior to Saturday's twin bill against Colorado.

Suarez earned a save against the Giants on Friday, allowing an unearned run on one hit while striking out one over one inning.

With closer Taylor Rogers unavailable for San Diego, the team turned to Luis Garcia to hold a two-run, ninth-inning lead. He was unable to do so, but the Padres put up a pair of runs in the top of the 10th and handed the ball to Suarez in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander came through with his first career save despite allowing the inherited runner to score on a one-out single. Since being knocked around for three runs in his season debut, Suarez has posted a 2.20 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 16.1 innings.

Doval (0-2) took the loss during Friday's 8-7 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits with one strikeout in one inning.

Doval was brought in to pitch the 10th inning of a tie game and surrendered two hits within the first three batters to put San Francisco in a two-run hole it couldn't crawl out of. The 24-year-old has dropped both tie games he's entered this month, though he's been lights out when given a lead. Doval now possesses a 2.70 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and nine walks in 16.2 innings across 16 appearances.

Junis didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 8-7 loss to San Diego, allowing four runs on seven hits with two strikeouts in six innings.

Junis successfully navigated a tough San Diego lineup aside from the third inning, when he surrendered all four runs on four hits. The 29-year-old reached six innings for the first time, and he did it on an impressive 76 pitches, though he only managed two strikeouts and five swinging strikes. Junis takes a 2.70 ERA and 1.01 WHIP into his next start, projected to come midweek against the Mets.

Manaea didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 8-7 win over San Francisco, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings.

Manaea pitched well to every Giant aside from Darin Ruf, who accounted for three of the four runs against the lefty with two home runs. After a scorching stretch to open the campaign, the 30-year-old has been pedestrian over his last five outings with a 5.70 ERA across 30 innings. A 3.41 xFIP indicates Manaea's 4.04 ERA has been a product of some poor luck, and he'll look to get back in the win column for the first time since April 18 in his next start.

Phillips allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one batter over a scoreless inning to earn a hold Friday against the Phillies.

The right-hander was deployed in the eighth inning with the Dodgers hanging onto a three-run lead. He surrendered a leadoff bunt single and a two-out walk but got out of the frame without allowing any damage on the scoreboard. Phillips hasn't given up a run in any of his past six outings and has been unscored upon in 13 of his 15 overall appearances this season.
