Minter

He figures to vie with Brooks Raley for the team’s main lefty late-game role. Minter had a 1.64 ERA before getting hurt in 2025 and should at least have a chance at reclaiming the gig ahead of Raley. Assuming the Mets bother winning some games here or there, he’ll have some value in leagues with holds.

Minter has been unavailable for all of 2026 as he recovers from lat surgery. The 32-year-old may be eased into his role to begin his time with the Mets, bt when healthy, he’s been one of the better left-handed relievers in baseball. In addition to getting Minter back, it’s also expected that Jared Young will also come off the injured list before Tuesday’s tilt with the Reds.

This is just a procedural move. Minter suffered a setback at the beginning of the month, but he is still expected to restart his rehab assignment soon. This move doesn’t change his timeline, which could be sometime in June.

Minter, who is trying to come back from lat surgery, recently had a setback with his surgically repaired hip, causing him to be pulled off his rehab assignment last week. He might be back in the Mets bullpen by the end of the month.

Minter will be slowed down temporarily after experiencing hip discomfort. It’s not considered a massive setback, but it will further delay his return to New York’s bullpen, which likely would’ve happened soon. He’s at least a couple weeks from making it back to the Mets’ high-leverage mix.

The comeback begins for the 32-year-old left-hander. Minter was widely expected to be available in late April or early May, and beginning this assignment now seems to align well with that timetable. Once back he’ll push Brooks Raley for No. 1 lefty duties in New York’s pen.

Minter has already progressed to facing hitters and could be back in New York’s relief mix sooner than later. The 32-year-old southpaw is working his way back from last May’s lat surgery.

That’s in a best-case scenario. Minter is scheduled to throw his first live BP session today. The veteran lefty reliever is recovering from a torn lat muscle he suffered last May.

Minter is ticketed for the injured list to open the regular season but should return to New York’s high-leverage mix behind new closer Devin Williams in the early portion of the year. The 32-year-old southpaw is recovering from surgery to repair a torn left lat muscle last May. He’s on track to make his first Grapefruit League appearance before spring training wraps up.

Minter is officially questionable to be ready for Opening Day, but is not expected to miss too much additional time. The 32-year-old southpaw underwent surgery to repair a torn left lat muscle back in May. He figures to pitch in high-leverage spots helping bridge the gap to newly-added stopper Devin Williams in the event that the Mets are unable to re-sign Edwin Díaz.
