Mets' Reed Garrett: Begins throwing program
Rotowire
Garrett (elbow) began a throwing progression Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Garrett landed on the 15-day IL on July 10 due to right elbow inflammation, and Saturday marks the first time he has done any sort of throwing since then. The 31-year-old said he's hoping for a quick ramp-up process, though it remains unclear if he'll be able to pitch again before the end of July.

Mets' Francisco Lindor: Nabs 19th steal
Rotowire
Lindor went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Marlins.
The shortstop has drawn two walks in four straight games as he continues to thrive at the top of the order for the Mets. Since the beginning of June, Lindor is slashing .290/.383/.529 with eight of his 17 homers and 11 of his 19 steals on the season as he closes in on the fourth 20-20 campaign of his career.

Mets' Harrison Bader: Sitting down Saturday
Rotowire
Bader isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.
Bader was held hitless in four at-bats during the Mets' first game back from the All-Star break, and he'll now take a seat Saturday against Roddery Munoz. Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and DJ Stewart will start from left to right in New York's outfield.

Mets' Jeff McNeil: Goes yard twice in loss
Rotowire
McNeil went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.
The 32-year-old very nearly kept the Mets in the game single-handedly, launching a solo shot off Edward Cabrera in the fifth inning to get his team on the board and then slugging a two-run blast to right field off Andrew Nardi in the sixth. McNeil appears to have turned things around at the plate, and over his last 20 games he's slashing .271/.302/.525 with four of his seven homers on the season and 12 of his 27 RBI.

Mets' Sean Manaea: Hit hard by Miami
Rotowire
Manaea (6-4) took the loss Friday, coughing up five runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings as the Mets were downed 6-4 by the Marlins. He struck out one.
The southpaw was hit hard even during a 1-2-3 first inning -- one of the outs came when Jeff McNeil robbed Bryan De La Cruz of an extra-base hit at the wall in right field -- and Miami put runners in scoring position against Manaea in every other frame he worked. It was the first time in July that he'd failed to complete at least six innings, and the first time Manaea has given up more than three runs since June 8. He'll take a 3.73 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 97:41 K:BB through 101.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Yankees.

Mets' Sean Reid-Foley: Set to face hitters Monday
Rotowire
Reid-Foley (shoulder) is expected to begin facing hitters Monday in live batting practice, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Reid-Foley is poised to advance to the next phase of his rehab program for a right shoulder impingement after he tossed multiple bullpen sessions at the Mets' facility in Port St. Lucie, Fla. over the All-Star break. If he responds well to pitching in live BP, Reid-Foley could be cleared to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment toward the end of next week.

Mets' Starling Marte: Resumes baseball activities
Rotowire
Marte (knee) played catch and hit off a tee Friday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
The Mets have been taking it slowly with Marte's recovery from a right knee contusion that's sidelined him since June 22. The team will continue to ease him into action to try and avoid any setbacks for the oft-injured veteran, who hasn't played more than 120 games in a season since 2019.

Mets' Jose Quintana: Next start pushed back
Rotowire
Quintana won't start as scheduled Saturday versus the Marlins due to an illness and is now lined up to take the hill Tuesday versus the Yankees on the road, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Manager Carlos Mendoza said Quintana is currently dealing with a fever, so he'll stay away from the team for the next few days and will take the hill for the Mets' fifth game out of the All-Star break, assuming his condition doesn't take a turn for the worse. Luis Severino will now start Saturday in Quintana's stead, followed by Christian Scott on Sunday and then David Peterson for Monday's series finale in Miami.

Mets' Logan Porter: Signs MLB deal with Mets
Rotowire
Porter agreed to a one-year contract with the Mets on Thursday and will be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Porter initiated the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract with the Giants earlier this week, and he's managed to land a big-league deal in a new organization. With Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens performing well as the Mets' catching duo, Porter will be assigned to Syracuse where he will provide depth. The 29-year-old is slashing .293/.390/.500 with eight home runs in 53 games this season at the Triple-A level.

Mets' Kodai Senga: Needs one more rehab start
Rotowire
Senga (shoulder/triceps) is expected to make another rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
After building up to 4.2 innings and 67 pitches in his most recent rehab outing with Syracuse this past Sunday, Senga looked like he might have had a chance at making his next start with the big club, but the Mets will instead send him out for one more tune-up appearance in the minors. Assuming Senga is able to build on his pitch count and experiences no setbacks during his upcoming minor-league outing, he could return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2024 Mets debut during the club's home series with Atlanta that begins July 25. Senga was placed on the IL coming out of spring training with a strained right shoulder, then battled triceps inflammation during the rehab process that ended up setting him back further.

Mets' Nolan McLean: Scraps hitting
Rotowire
McLean will focus on pitching going forward, SNY Mets reports.
He cited the physical toll that doing both hitting and pitching was taking on his body, but his 52.2-percent strikeout rate in 69 plate appearances as a hitter at Double-A likely also factored into the decision. McLean is a very exciting pitching prospect, sporting one of the best high-spin sliders in the minors and a mid-90s fastball with good movement. There's perhaps another level of upside with McLean on the mound now, considering he had been trying to be a two-way player up until this point and can just focus on pitching going forward. The 6-foot-2 righty has been unlucky at Double-A (.358 BABIP, 21.1 HR/FB), leading to a 5.35 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, but his 3.86 xFIP hints that better days are ahead.

Mets' Alex Young: Claimed by Mets
Rotowire
The Mets claimed Young off waivers from the Giants on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.
Young was traded from the Reds to the Giants for outfielder Austin Slater earlier this month and now will be moving on to a third organization in just over a week. The left-handed reliever has made three scoreless appearances in the majors this season and holds a 2.19 ERA and 23:8 K:BB over 24.2 frames during his time at the Triple-A level in 2024.

Mets' Tyler Jay: Booted off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Mets designated Jay for assignment Wednesday.
Jay will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to another lefty reliever in Alex Young, whom the Mets claimed off waivers from the Giants on Wednesday. If Jay goes unclaimed through waivers, he'll stick around with the Mets organization as bullpen depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

Mets' Adam Ottavino: Losing high-leverage work
Rotowire
Ottavino has posted a 4.89 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB through 35 innings with one win, one save and 13 holds in 36 appearances.
The Mets' bullpen issues early in the season caused manager Carlos Mendoza to lean heavily on Ottavino, but the workload appears to have caught up with the 38-year-old righty. While his 30.7 percent strikeout rate is among the better marks in his career, Ottavino's 42.4 percent groundball rate is his lowest since he was pitching for the Rockies in 2017. He's also recorded only one of his 13 holds over the last month, as younger relief arms like Dedniel Nunez and Reed Garrett (elbow) have moved into high-leverage roles. If the Mets add further bullpen reinforcements ahead of the trade deadline, Ottavino's usage as a setup man for Edwin Diaz could decline even further.

Mets' David Peterson: Returns from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Mets activated Peterson (personal) from the paternity list Monday.
Peterson was away from the club for its final series before the All-Star break against the Rockies, but he'll be back on the roster for the start of the second half Friday in Miami. The Mets haven't revealed their post-break rotation plans yet, so it's not clear when Peterson's first start of the second half will come.

Mets' Trey Snyder: Nabbed by Mets in fifth round
Rotowire
The Mets have selected Snyder with the 144th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.
Snyder demonstrated the ability to hit for contact from the right side and boasted fringy-to-average power during his prep career at Missouri. He lacks the straight-line speed teams like to see from shortstops, however, so he could be at risk of moving to third base down the line. The Mets will first have to pry him away from his commitment to Tennessee before the organization decides on whether to continue his development as a shortstop.
