The Mets are expected to select Hammer's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Hammer has split time this season between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse, logging a 2.16 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 38:21 K:BB across 33.1 combined innings. He will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

McGreevy (4-7) got the win Wednesday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on five hits and one walk, while striking out six.

McGreevy notched an elusive win after going nine straight starts without one by allowing weak contact and striking out his most batters in a game since May (also six in that game). Overall, the right-hander has put up effective stats all season for the Cardinals, posting a 3.01 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 66:23 K:BB across 101.2 innings. The 26-year-old is not slated to start again until after the All-Star break.

Stewart went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 11-5 win over the Phillies.

It was the second career game with multiple homers for Stewart, who piled up at least three RBI for the sixth time this year. The slugging infielder has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games as well. Stewart has delivered a breakout first half as a first-time All-Star in 2026, slashing 256/.341/.481 with 19 long balls, 64 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 50 runs scored across 396 plate appearances.

Harrison (8-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out two.

This is the third consecutive start for Harrison in which he has failed to make it past five frames. The left-hander has covered just 11.2 innings during that span, giving up eight runs with a 14:2 K:BB, which is just a minor hiccup in his efficient first season with Milwaukee. The 24-year-old will carry a 3.01 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 83.2 innings into the All-Star Break.

Burns (11-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on three hits and six walks in five innings. He struck out two.

Burns nabbed the win Wednesday but certainly didn't have his best stuff, walking a season-high six and matching a season low in punchouts. The hard-throwing right-hander was still able to hang in there for his 18th consecutive start of at least five frames to begin the year, needing a season-high 106 pitches to do so. Burns will bring a stellar 2.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB across 102.2 frames into the All-Star break.

Griffin (10-2) earned the win against the Astros on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.

Griffin allowed a run in the fifth inning but was otherwise untouchable, generating a whopping 22 swinging strikes on 99 pitches. The 30-year-old will head into the All-Star break having allowed exactly one run in seven straight outings while recording nine strikeouts in three of his past four. He owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 109:26 K:BB across 110.1 innings in what has been one of the biggest surprise campaigns of 2026.

Rangel (0-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out five.

Rangel was inefficient Wednesday, as he tossed 69 pitches but couldn't make it through the fourth inning. The 28-year-old right-hander has completed five frames just one time through five appearances to this point, and it remains to be seen if the Phillies will give Andrew Painter another chance in their rotation at some point later this season. Through 19.1 innings, Rangel has a 4.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB, with the big club likely to evaluate his role during the upcoming All-Star break.

Abrams went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Astros.

Abrams opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the third inning before clubbing his 20th homer of the season in the fifth, matching his career high. The All-Star shortstop is rounding out the season's first half with momentum, hitting safely in seven of his past eight games with three homers, 10 RBI and two steals over that span. On the year, he's slashing .276/.355/.517 with 20 homers, 67 RBI, 56 runs scored and 15 steals across 383 plate appearances.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Orioles.

Suzuki blasted his 14th home run of the season in the seventh inning as the Cubs scored five times in the frame to pull away from Baltimore. The outfielder came into the contest mired in an 0-for-15 slump across his last four games, but before that, he had strung together a six-game hitting streak with three long balls and 11 RBI. Suzuki should remain a strong fantasy option after posting a career-best 32 home runs and 103 RBI during the 2025 regular season.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Astros.

Garcia broke the game open with a three-run blast in the fourth inning, reaching the 20-homer mark for the first time in his career. It continued a torrid run for the 26-year-old, who finished June on a tear and has opened July with four home runs, 11 RBI and two steals through the month's first seven games. On the season, he's slashing .291/.322/.572 with 20 long balls, 68 RBI, 45 runs scored and four steals across 307 plate appearances.
