Tyler Glasnow set to face live hitters on Friday

Manager Tony Vitello believes Schmitt will miss some time with the injury. The good news is that the Giants are closer to getting Matt Chapman back from the injured list. However, that’s not expected to happen before the weekend. Christian Koss figures to start in Schmitt’s place Tuesday.

Chisholm was 1-for-12 with five strikeouts and no walks in his last three games entering play Monday. The 28-year-old infielder is having an off-year, but was active against the White Sox with two hits, two runs, two RBI and two stolen bases. He’s hitting .226 with a .713 OPS and 45 RBI.

Bednar’s save was his 21st of the season. A save situation arose in the ninth inning after Colson Montgomery reached on an error to make it a 9-5 game with runners on the corners and two outs. Bednar came in and struck out Chase Meidroth to end the game. He has a 2.40 ERA and only two blown save opportunities this year.

Montgomery was held out of Sunday’s game against the Astros with a shin injury, but returned as the DH against the Yankees on Monday. The 24-year-old got on base four times and had two RBI and a run scored in the loss. He’s hitting .224 with a .769 OPS and 61 RBI.

Schultz gave up two hits, walked two and struck out five. The 22-year-old left-hander kept the Yankees off the scoreboard for three innings. In the fourth inning, the first three batters reached before Schultz got Anthony Volpe to ground out. Schultz was removed at that point and both of his runners that were inherited by the bullpen scored. Schultz has completed five innings only three times in his last nine starts. He has a 6.15 ERA and a 5.13 xFIP in 60 innings. Schultz is lined up to face the Rays on the road on Saturday, but could be the odd man out of the rotation if the White Sox trade for a starting pitcher before the deadline.

Fried gave up five hits, walked two and struck out four. After throwing five scoreless innings in his return start against the Pirates last week, this start was a bit of a clunker. Fried allowed three runs in the first inning before holding the White Sox scoreless for the next two innings. Having thrown 66 pitches, Fried didn’t even start the fourth inning. He should be able to throw a few more pitches in his next start against the Cubs on the road on Saturday.

Taylor’s home run was his ninth of the year. He hit a three-run shot off Connor Thomas, the pitcher the Braves decided to let wear it as he allowed 11 runs in relief. With an .872 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, Taylor could be a trade target for a team needing a right-handed bat.

Semien’s home run was his 12th of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Braves reliever Connor Thomas in the sixth inning. Semien has five runs scored, three home runs and six RBI over his last five games. The second baseman who turns 36 in September is hitting .214 with a .620 OPS and 35 RBI in his first season with the Mets.

Lindor now has eight home runs on the season. He hit a two-run shot off Martín Pérez in the third inning and a three-run shot off Braves reliever Connor Thomas in the eighth inning. Lindor’s 2026 has been an injury-ravaged season to forget, but he certainly looked like himself at the plate on Monday. He’s hitting .233 with a .743 OPS and 23 RBI.

Pérez gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out four. The Mets ended up winning 14-3, but the fireworks didn’t start until after Perez was already out of the game. Pérez won four starts in a row from late May to early June, but has a 5.70 ERA and is 0-3 in five starts since then. He has a 3.49 ERA on the season. Pérez is lined up to face the Nationals at home on Saturday, though it’s possible Atlanta will acquire a starting pitcher before the trade deadline to bump him from the rotation.
