J.P. Crawford (wrist) back after four-game absence

Sánchez wound up missing a month and a few days with an ankle sprain suffered on June 27. He’ll likely return to platoon COF duties in the place of the optioned Yohendrick Piñango.

With Freddy Peralta scratched tonight, the Mets are stacking the bullpen for a game of Oops! All Bulk Relievers. Curry allowed two runs in six inning with the Mets earlier this year.

“Oh yeah, that guy,” they thought. Pintaro holds a 5.11 ERA and has mostly been used as a multi-inning reliever for the Mets this year — he did give up six earned runs in his last two MLB appearances and had been doing better before that.

The well-traveled lefty was 2-0 with a 4.21 ERA in 25 2/3 innings with the Mets, striking out 32 over that timespan. Pérez will be out of commission for at least the next two weeks and possibly longer.

Cook is 1-2 with a 3.78 ERA in 33 1/3 innings for the Bulls and figures to be part of the bullpen mix in the short term as the Rays try to figure out how their rotation will go forward without Shane McClanahan.

He will miss at least two starts per POBO Erik Neander. Obviously, don’t go dropping him in any leagues at this point as this is supposedly a short-term issue. McClanahan is 9-6 with a 3.09 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 99 innings after missing all of 2024 and 2025.

They’re all-in. Borucki had a 4.94 ERA in 23 2/3 innings for the Giants earlier this year, but was let go on June 6. He’ll be a lower-leverage reliever if he makes it up to the Guardians bullpen at some point.

He added that the team is “hoping” he only misses two starts and that the club considers it “pretty minor.” McClanahan left Thursday’s start with mid-back tightness after three innings and change with diminished velocity.

The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal reported earlier today that the Mets are asking teams for a top-100 prospect “and more” in their early conversations with teams about Freddy Peralta. It appears they’re close enough on terms with a team to consider scratching Peralta to make sure he can turn up to a new team injury-free. It would seem likely that a rested Kodai Senga will shoulder most of the load in a bullpen game tonight.

The good news for Dunn is that it was a career year — he hit .282/.335/.387 with two homers and six stolen bases in 155 plate appearances. The bad news is that we have no idea how long this elbow surgery will keep him out just yet. He’ll get another chance in Cincy’s outfield mix in 2027 if healthy.
