Mets' Mark Vientos: Left out of lineup versus righty
Rotowire
Vientos is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Vientos was included in the lineup both of the previous two days when Atlanta sent left-handed starters to the bump, but he'll be on the bench for a fourth consecutive matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Reynaldo Lopez). Rather than moving Vientos out of his short-side platoon role and giving him a look as their primary designated hitter, Mets interim Andy Green has opted to rotate a number of players at that spot in the lineup.

Mets' Bo Bichette: Drives in three in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Bichette went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
The 28-year-old infielder continues to put a shaky start to his first season with the Mets behind him. Over 31 games since the beginning of June, Bichette is slashing .331/.358/.532 with 14 extra-base hits including five homers, 18 runs and 22 RBI.

Mets' A.J. Ewing: Swats fifth homer
Rotowire
Ewing went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
The rookie center fielder took Martin Perez deep in the second inning, Ewing's fifth homer of the season and third in the last 11 games -- a stretch in which he's delivered a .314/.400/.600 slash line with a double, six runs and seven RBI. He's also stolen a base but has been caught stealing three times in that span, leaving him with a shaky 8-for-14 showing on the basepaths since his mid-May promotion.

Mets' Francisco Lindor: Crosses plate three times Sunday
Rotowire
Lindor went 1-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
The shortstop reached on an error to lead off the game, singled in the second inning and drew a free pass in the ninth, coming around to score each time. Lindor is gaining some momentum at the plate, hitting safely in four straight contests while going 5-for-16 with a homer, two RBI and four runs, but on the season he still carries what would be a career-low .690 OPS through 145 plate appearances.

Mets' Matt Seelinger: Dealt to Mets
Rotowire
The Mets acquired Seelinger from the Tigers on Monday in exchange for cash consideration, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Seelinger has turned in a 3.89 ERA and 49:19 K:BB over 39.1 innings this season at Triple-A Toledo. The 31-year-old reliever has not yet pitched at the major-league level but has consistently piled up lots of strikeouts in the minors, boasting a career 31.8 percent strikeout rate on the farm.

Mets' Clay Holmes: Could begin rehab stint after break
Rotowire
Holmes (fibula) might begin a rehab assignment in the second half of July, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander has been sidelined since May 15 after taking a 111 mph comebacker off his leg. Holmes was having a career-best season as a starting pitcher when he was injured, posting a 2.39 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 52.2 innings, and if he can get back on a mound within the next few weeks, he could be an enticing trade target for a contender as a rental -- Holmes has a $12 million player option on his contract he'll almost certainly decline.
Williams picked up the save in Sunday's 10-9 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on three hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.
It looked like Williams would get the day off, as the Mets entered the ninth inning ahead 10-3. However, after Huascar Brazoban gave up five runs, Williams was called upon to put out the fire. It didn't come easy for Williams either, as he gave up a run before Atlanta loaded the bases with two outs. However, he rebounded to strike out Dominic Smith to close out a one-run victory, notching his 13th save this season. Prior to Sunday, Williams had allowed just one run in his previous 11.1 innings, logging five saves in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.34 through 29 innings this year with a 1.55 WHIP and 43:16 K:BB.

Mets' Nolan McLean: Earns sixth win
Rotowire
McLean (6-5) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
It looked like it was going to be a short outing for McLean after the right-hander gave up three runs in the first inning. However, he beared down and blanked Atlanta over his final five frames, allowing just two more hits en route to his second straight win. McLean has held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings, posting a 2.70 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.73 through 18 starts (101.1 innings) this season with a 1.12 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB. McLean is currently in line for a home matchup with the Red Sox his next time out.

Rotowire
The Mets optioned Gerber to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
The right-hander was called up by New York on Monday and appeared in four games during his brief time in the majors. Gerber started off with three scoreless appearances before surrendering three runs over two-thirds of an inning Saturday in Atlanta. Guillo Zuniga was added to the MLB roster Sunday in a corresponding move.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Resting up Sunday
Rotowire
Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets will give Alvarez the afternoon off while Luis Torrens starts behind the plate and Juan Soto serves as the designated hitter. Alvarez had started the last seven games, going 5-for-27 (.185) with a solo home run and a 0:11 BB:K.

Mets' Guillo Zuniga: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Mets selected Zuniga's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Zuniga joined the Mets on a minor-league deal in May and will get the chance to make his first big-league appearance since 2024. The right-hander split his time between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year and has a combined 3.29 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB over 13.2 innings.

Mets' Luis Torrens: Opportunities picking up
Rotowire
Torrens will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Torrens will fill in behind the plate while Francisco Alvarez rests for the day game. Since MJ Melendez was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse on June 26, the Mets have been giving Alvarez more days off from catching while keeping him in the lineup at designated hitter, which has allowed Torrens to play more frequently than most No. 2 backstops. Torrens has drawn five starts in the Mets' last nine contests.

Mets' Jared Young: Sitting against lefty again
Rotowire
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets will leave the left-handed hitter out of the lineup for the second straight day while Atlanta sends lefty Martin Perez to the bump. Mark Vientos will fill in for Young at first base and bat cleanup.
Manaea (1-4) took the loss Saturday against Atlanta, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.
Manaea might have been able to push for a quality start Saturday if not for a key third-inning dropped ball by Tyrone Taylor in the outfield, which allowed Atlanta to score three runs -- with all of them being earned due to a generous scoring decision. The 34-year-old southpaw tossed 38 pitches in the frame en route to reaching a season-high 108 on the evening, while the six runs given up were still a season worst. Manaea is set to take a 5.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB over 68 innings into a fairly soft home matchup against the Royals his next time out.
