On Thursday, New York Mets fans got several big updates regarding several top players who are currently dealing with injuries.

On Wednesday night, Mets fans gave their frustrated fans a reason to smile when rookies AJ Ewing and Carson Benz played key roles in New York’s come-from-behind victory over the Detroit Tigers in extra innings. Yet before his 10th inning celebration, top star Juan Soto fouled a ball off his ankle and had to be removed from the game in the 7th inning.

He was clearly in pain, and Mets fans feared that their already disappointing season could go into some dark places if Soto was sidelined for weeks or months. However, on Wednesday night the team revealed that X-rays were negative and he was listed as day-to-day.

Well, manager Carlos Mendoza gave an update on Thursday, and it’s great news for Mets fans as the $765 million man will be in the lineup for their game against the Tigers today.

Francisco Lindor’s calf is improving, but NY Mets return remains unclear

Yet Soto’s injury isn’t the only injury to a key player this week. During the Mets’ win on Tuesday, catcher Francisco Alvarez injured his right knee on a swing. It was discovered that he had a torn meniscus and he was placed on the injured list.

According to Mendoza (via MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo), Alvarez had surgery Thursday morning, and the club expects him to be sidelined for the majority of the original eight-week recovery diagnosis. That would put the catcher on track to return in mid-July.

There was also another big injury update from the Mets captain. Team leader Francisco Lindor has been sidelined since April 22 with a calf strain. Mendoza claimed the shortstop is “showing signs of recovery” after a recent MRI. However, he is not close to participating in baseball activities.

So the timeline for the return is unclear, but some previous estimates have suggested a mid-June return is possible.

The New York Mets welcomed back All-Star outfielder Juan Soto last week, but lost star shortstop Francisco Lindor to a calf strain in the same game. Unfortunately for New York, it appears Lindor won’t be back on the field at Citi Field for a long time.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY, the Mets are “privately expecting” Lindor to be out until mid-June.

Lindor’s absence is obviously a blow to the Mets’ lineup. However, perhaps there is some hope in New York that the vacation time could benefit the Silver Slugger Award winner long-term. Through his first 105 plate appearances this season, Lindor was on his way to a career-worst season with a .226/.314/.35 triple-slash line.

Surgery to repair his broken hamate bone in February was taking a toll on him. Therefore, it can be hoped that the rehabilitation of his calf strain over the next month may also prove beneficial for his wrist to fully recover from the February surgery and his swing to return to form.

Meanwhile, former top prospect Ronny Mauricio is filling in at shortstop. He has posted a .286 batting average with 5 strikeouts in his first 14 at-bats, but just a .286 SLG. If he struggles, Bo Bichette could be moved to shortstop with Brett Batty and Mark Vientos getting time at third base when Jorge Polanco comes off the injured list. However, this would come at a great cost to the Mets’ infield defense.

A new report reveals a pair of New York Mets players who could have a much bigger impact on the team’s success in 2026 than fans realize.

After the turmoil of the last five months, there is new hope for what the NY Mets can do this season. After an epic collapse in August and September, then losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz in free agency, fans were angry and concerned about the club’s potential in 2026.

However, in January, the front office’s grand plan to improve the team came into focus after the additions of Bo Bichette, Luis Robert Jr. and Freddy Peralta. Those moves, along with other changes the team made earlier in the offseason, have created a narrative that this revamped NY Mets roster may have addressed the issues that led to their ugly end to 2025.

Although improving the defense was a goal this winter, the biggest unofficial priority was improving the locker room. After the season, reports emerged about issues in the clubhouse between various players, including some of the team’s top stars. The perception is that the departures of JD Martinez and Jose Iglesias took away veterans who had helped bring teammates together during difficult times.

The underappreciated roles of Shawn Manaea and Francisco Alvarez in NY Mets leadership

However, a new report has revealed two other bona fide members of the roster who didn’t have as much clubhouse influence last year as they did in 2024. But he could be an under-the-radar factor in the NY Mets making a big difference in 2026.

Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic report, “In diagnosing what went wrong at the end of last season, multiple sources inside the Mets pointed not only to some tough injuries, but how those injuries affected the mood inside the clubhouse.” “In particular, players like Shawn Manaea and Francisco Alvarez – who bring infectious energy – missed time at the beginning of the season and struggled to perform extensively afterward.

“It’s hard to be a clubhouse leader when you’re not performing. Alvarez brought some of that back upon his return from Triple-A last summer — ‘You notice the energy right away,’ a team source said that week — but a thumb injury sidelined him again in August,” he added.

Fans are well aware of Alvarez’s energetic personality. But interestingly, Mania also plays a major role in bringing positivity in the clubhouse. If both can have improved seasons in 2026, it could make a huge difference for the NY Mets on and off the field.

隨著紐約大都會隊正式開始 2026 年春季訓練，一些更大的紐約大都會隊新聞也隨之浮出水面。

儘管九月發生了史詩般的崩潰，但紐約大都會隊春季訓練的第一天仍然令人興奮。這就是休賽期末做出一些重大舉動所帶來的結果，包括密爾沃基釀酒人隊王牌弗雷迪·佩拉爾塔的大交易。

然而，該團隊週二透露了一些令人擔憂的消息。明星游擊手弗朗西斯科·林多今天計劃接受左手鉤骨應激反應檢查。如果需要進行手術，那麼對於並不罕見的傷病來說，需要休養六週才能恢復並重返賽場。

目前，鉤骨問題在棒球界非常常見，以至於美國職棒大聯盟的其他一些球員也在開始春季訓練時面臨著同樣的傷病。然而，週三，ESPN 的傑夫·帕桑解釋說，雖然林多應該很容易從傷病中恢復，但他的力量可能會在幾個月內受到嚴重阻礙。

“雖然恢復時間通常是四到六週，但接受手術修復的擊球手經常談論他們的力量需要幾個月才能恢復，”他寫道。 “這不像軟組織損傷；鉤骨的恢復時間表相當簡單。然而，完全健康的時間可能會更長。”

小路易斯·羅伯特 (Luis Robert Jr.) 即將迎來 2026 年怪物年？

雖然紐約大都會隊今年冬天引進博·比切特和弗雷迪·佩拉爾塔是重大收購，但他們對小路易斯·羅伯特的交易被視為潛力巨大的舉動。美國職棒大聯盟有一種信念，認為改變環境並處於獲勝的環境中可以幫助中外野手恢復幾年前的精英球員。

在最近的一次亮相中 污穢領地 在播客中，他的經紀人斯科特·博拉斯 (Scott Boras) 解釋了為什麼他對這位曾經的全明星球員在 2026 年寄予厚望。

“我有胡安·索托和路易斯·羅伯特在一起 [at the Boras Sports Performance camp]。每天觀看胡安·索托訓練，觀察他所做的事情，坐下來與他談論他如何控制區域……現在，路易斯·羅伯特可以在一位真正的超級巨星身邊，”博拉斯說。“……他有兩件在芝加哥沒有的東西，他有一個超級巨星的存在可以依賴，而且他每天都有機會獲勝。 ”

卡森·本吉進入開幕日名單的最新機會

如果不是諾蘭·麥克萊恩 (Nolan McLean) 在大聯盟賽季末的出色表現，2024 年首輪秀卡森·本吉 (Carson Benge) 可能會在去年成為紐約大都會隊小聯盟體系中的頭號新秀。這就是為什麼這位23歲的球員預計將有機會在今年春天獲得外場首發位置。週二，在確認索托將在 2026 年轉為左翼後，有消息稱，索托可能會從左翼轉向右翼。

紐約大都會隊主席大衛·斯特恩斯本週對本吉的機會進行了重大更新，並補充說，雖然本吉將獲得公平的機會，但如果他還沒有為大聯盟做好準備，球隊不會強迫他。

“整個休賽期我們一直一致認為，卡森將帶著​​機會加入我們的球隊——這仍然是一樣的，”斯特恩斯說。 “他在小聯盟期間經常打右外野。我們對他很有信心。

“我們希望看到高質量的擊球手，我們希望看到他處理外場。這也取決於其他人的表現，對嗎？”他補充道。 “這並不完全取決於卡森的外表。我們不會太關注表麵線的結果，我們會在開幕日做出最好的決定。”
