Nunez is less than a year removed from undergoing Tommy John surgery but is already been cleared for game action. Barring any setbacks, the reliever appears in line for his season debut around the All-Star break. Nunez boasts a 2.82 ERA and 59:14 K:BB over 44.2 innings during his time with the Mets.

The veteran second baseman's two-run triple in the seventh inning wound up being the game-winning hit in a 6-4 victory. Semien has four multi-hit performances in the last 12 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .273/.360/.523 with three homers, one steal, six runs and six RBI.

Mendoza added that Robert is now "symptom-free pretty much" and the next step will be to ramp up his running progression. Robert has been sidelined since late April with a lumbar spine disc herniation, but his back has responded well to a series of injections. There remains no timetable for his return to the active roster, but Robert seem to have finally turned a corner.

The right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list Saturday, so his stay on the shelf due to a hip impingement will end up being a brief one. Scott threw a simulated game Monday and wil re-enter the Mets' starting rotation without a minor-league rehab assignment.

Arroyo exercised the opt-out clause in his minor-league deal Monday but quickly agreed to a new contract a day later. The 31-year-old infielder has slashed .304/.333/.446 with five home runs at Triple-A Syracuse this season.

Lambert, 23, has struck out one-third of the batters he's faced this season, but a bloated 18.7 percent walk rate played a big part in him submitting an inflated 6.19 ERA and 1.62 over 16 innings at Triple-A. He's without a clear timeline to return to action for Syracuse.

Polanco has battled problems with his Achilles all season, and the Mets paused his rehab assignment Saturday due to renewed soreness in his left ankle. Now that the 32-year-old has been cleared of any structural damage, the Mets will decide against shutting him down and look to have him resume batting practice within the next few days.

Baumann logged a 4.20 ERA, 1.93 WHIP, 19:12 K:BB and 53.7 percent groundball rate in 15 innings as a reliever in NPB last year. Prior to heading to Japan for one year, the 30-year-old righty registered a 4.95 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 147 strikeouts in 167.1 MLB innings, almost exclusively as a reliever. Baumann's poor control (16 percent walk rate in Japan) would likely limit him to low-leverage relief work if he earns a call-up in 2026.

Waddell was shut down in March due to shoulder discomfort, but he's since managed to work through the injury. He's made two relief appearances at Triple-A Syracuse so far this year, surrendering three runs on seven hits while striking out four across five frames.

The right-hander was recently shut down from all activities for 6-to-8 weeks due to a fractured right fibula, so it's hardly a surprise he's been moved to the 60-day IL. Holmes is expected to require about a month to build back up to game readiness once fully recovered, so he'll likely be sidelined until at least mid-August.

New York could use a boost to its struggling offense, but it doesn't look like Tauchman will be a potential solution any time soon after undergoing knee surgery in late March. He was originally given a six-week recovery timeline, but the 35-year-old outfielder may not be back in the lineup for Triple-A Syracuse until June.

The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Jacques collected a 6.02 ERA and 61:23 K:BB over 52.1 innings at the Triple-A level in 2025. The left-handed reliever will compete for a bullpen job during spring training.

The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Bryan Hudson. Garrett underwent UCL reconstruction surgery in October and will miss the entire 2026 season.

Herget was designated for assignment by the Mets in late September and became a free agent a few days later. He's now back with the club and will battle for a spot in the team's bullpen during spring training.

It's unclear when Hagenman sustained the injury, but his placement on the 60-day IL means that he won't be eligible to make his 2026 regular-season debut until at least late May. In a corresponding move to bolster the bullpen, the Mets claimed southpaw Richard Lovelady off waivers from the Nationals.

Though he was optioned to Salt Lake on Friday, Rojas would have been a candidate to rejoin the Angels after infielder David Fletcher (hip) was placed on the injured list Sunday. However, Rojas' move to Salt Lake's COVID-19 IL will thwart those plans and prompt the Angels to bring Luis Rengifo up from Triple-A. The transaction also simultaneously opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Aaron Whitefield, whose contract was selected from Double-A Rocket City.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for MJ Melendez, who signing became official Thursday. Megill will miss the entire 2026 season following September 2025 Tommy John surgery.

Stock is leaving the door open to possibly pitch again late in the season, but since he had been attending Mets camp on a minor-league deal, he's unlikely to surface in the majors at any point in 2026 even in the event that he moves swiftly through the rehab process. The right-hander first experienced discomfort in his shoulder following his start Tuesday for Team Israel in an exhibition game against the Marlins.
