Weaver picked up his seventh hold Wednesday after pitching 1.1 scoreless innings while allowing one hit and striking out one batter in a 4-2 win over Cincinnati.
The 32-year-old entered with two outs in the seventh inning and the Mets holding a 3-2 lead, and he carried that one-run advantage into the ninth inning for closer Devin Williams. Weaver has been lights out over his last 15 appearances, allowing just two earned runs and striking out 20 batters over 17 innings. Weaver continues to operate as New York's primary setup man, and he isn't likely to see anything more than the occasional save chance since Williams has righted the ship after a rocky start to the year.

Mets' Luke Weaver: Saddled with second blown save
Rotowire
Weaver (2-1) was charged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks in the eighth inning. He struck out one.
Entering the game with a 4-3 lead Thursday, the right-hander served up a two-run home run to CJ Abrams for his second blown save of the year. Even though top closer Devin Williams has disastrous 8.00 ERA in 2026, Weaver hasn't been much better at preventing runs as his primary setup man. Through 12 frames, Weaver has a 6.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB.
Weaver (2-0) earned the win in relief Wednesday against the Twins, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out three across 1.1 innings.
Weaver entered the game in the seventh inning with two outs and runners on first and second. He walked Ryan Jeffers to load the bases, but he closed out the inning when Luke Keaschall was retired on a popout in foul territory. Holding a one-run lead in the top of the ninth, Weaver recorded consecutive strikeouts of Matt Wallner and Royce Lewis. Weaver then allowed a single to Brooks Lee, but he would close the game out by striking out Byron Buxton, who had homered earlier in the game. This was Weaver's third straight scoreless appearance, and he seems to be leaving behind a woeful stretch when he allowed six runs on 1.2 innings across two outings between April 9 and April 11.
Weaver tossed a perfect eighth inning Sunday to record his first hold of the season in a 5-2 win over the Giants. He didn't strike out a batter.
The veteran right-hander fired 10 of 12 pitches for strikes before handing the ball off to Devin Williams for the ninth. Weaver produced more than 20 holds each of the last two seasons for the Yankees, and he seems on his way to reaching that mark again for the Mets, posting a 0.00 ERA and giving up just one hit over four appearances and 4.0 innings with a 2:2 K:BB.

Mets' Luke Weaver: Can't find plate Sunday
Rotowire
Weaver gave up a run on three walks in one-third of an inning during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.
His one out was a strikeout, but Weaver threw only nine of 23 pitches for strikes in what could end up as his final spring appearance. The veteran right-hander has been having a strong camp prior to Sunday, and through 4.1 innings he sports a 2.08 ERA and 5:4 K:BB. Weaver will be one of the Mets' top setup men this season in front of new closer Devin Williams, and over the last two seasons for the Yankees he delivered a 3.21 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 10.6 K/9 with 11 wins, 12 saves and 44 holds in 126 appearances.
Mets' Luke Weaver: Nabs $22 million deal from Mets
Rotowire
The Mets signed Weaver to a two-year, $22 million contract Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Weaver becomes the second former Yankees reliever to sign with the Mets this offseason, joining closer Devin Williams. The 32-year-old Weaver struggled at times during the second half in 2025, but he finished his tenure in pinstripes with a 3.22 ERA and 191:49 K:BB across 162 regular-season innings. Weaver will help set up for Williams with the Mets.
