Webb pitched eight scoreless innings, allowing six hits and issuing zero walks while striking out seven batters in a no-decision against San Diego on Monday.

Webb allowed two Padres to reach third base over the first three innings, but he was able to bear down and keep either from crossing the plate. The right-hander breezed through the remainder of his outing, retiring 15 of the final 18 batters he faced. Webb recorded his fifth quality start over his past six appearances, but he was denied a win as neither team scored until the 10th frame. Despite settling for a no-decision, Webb continued what has been an outstanding campaign -- he holds a 2.55 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 91:17 K:BB through 81.1 innings (second-most in the majors) over 13 starts.

Kolek allowed three hits and issued two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Monday.

Kolek struggled in the first two innings, allowing five baserunners and working out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the second. He settled in nicely after that, yielding just one additional hit. The right-hander couldn't quite manage a quality start -- he was pulled with two outs in the fifth after having thrown 98 pitches -- but he bounced back nicely after surrendering six runs over 5.1 frames against Miami in his previous outing, a start which also featured early struggles before he settled in. Kolek has held down a spot in the Padres' rotation with a 3.47 ERA through 36.1 frames, and he's projected for a road matchup against Milwaukee in his next start.

Meyer (3-5) took the loss after allowing five runs, four of them earned, on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five through five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

Meyer discovered a new worst enemy during Monday's start, surrendering two home runs to Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, as part of a tough outing. The right-hander has struggled to keep the ball in the yard lately as he's surrendered nine home runs over his last seven starts. The 26-year-old has allowed at least five runs in five of those seven appearances. Meyer's next scheduled start is a Sunday matinee road battle at the Rays.

Marquez (2-7) picked up the win after allowing four runs, three of them earned, on nine hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

It was a tough first two innings for Marquez, where he allowed all four of his runs, but he settled in after that and didn't allow a run despite traffic in each inning. The 30-year-old has strung together three solid starts in a row now, allowing just six earned runs over 18 innings of work (3.00 ERA). The right-hander is lined up to face the Mets on Sunday for his next start.

Smith-Shawver is meeting with orthopedic surgeon Keith Meister on Thursday and is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery later in the week, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Smith-Shawver has officially been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow, though the team is still awaiting confirmation that he'll require Tommy John surgery. Once he meets with Dr. Meister, the right-hander will presumably go under the knife shortly after in an effort to begin his rehab as quickly as possible for a potential return during the second half of the 2026 campaign.

Manaea (oblique) threw 29 pitches in a live bullpen session Monday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

The Mets will wait to see how Manaea feels following his latest bullpen to determine whether he's ready to embark on a rehab assignment. He's managed to throw several side sessions over the last few weeks as he continues to make his way back from a right oblique strain.

Verlander (pectoral) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Verlander is continuing to work back from a right pectoral strain, and he's set to throw another bullpen after tossing a 40-pitch side session May 27. If the right-hander is able to make it through the bullpen without any issues, he'll be set to face batters later in the week, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, and the club could then consider activating him at some point over the weekend.

Glasnow (shoulder) continues to play catch, but body soreness has slowed his progress, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Glasnow threw a bullpen session May 23, which ultimately resulted in some body soreness for the right-hander. The 31-year-old has been on the injured list since late April with right shoulder inflammation, and the team is still trying to figure out how and when to start ramping him back up. Glasnow was transferred to the 60-day IL on Saturday and he's not eligible to be activated until June 27, but the likelihood of him returning to action then feels slim.

Gomber (shoulder) will resume a rehab assignment with Double-A Hartford on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Gomber came down with soreness in his pitching shoulder during spring training and then had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment in late March when the discomfort resurfaced. However, the southpaw is now ready to give it another try. He could rejoin the Rockies' rotation later this month if all goes well.

The Mets activated Blackburn (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Blackburn is set to start Monday's game against the Dodgers in what will be his season debut for the Mets after he recovered from right knee inflammation. The veteran right-hander will be part of a six-man rotation for at least this week.
