Nationals activated RHP Max Kranick (elbow) from the 60-day injured list.

Kranick underwent flexor tendon surgery in August of last season and will make his season debut when he gets into a game. The 28-year-old posted a 3.65 ERA over 37 innings with the Mets last year and should be a solid contributor to the Nationals’ bullpen, something they desperately need.

Max Kranick (elbow) was charged with three runs — two earned — over 1 1/3 innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Kranick signed a one-year deal with the Nationals, that includes a club option for 2027, back in early May. There’s optimism he’ll be ready to help their struggling bullpen mix out at some point after the All-Star break. The 28-year-old is coming off flexor tendon surgery that ended his season last July.

Nationals transferred RHP Max Kranick to the 60-day injured list.

The procedural move frees up a spot on Washington’s 40-man roster for newly acquired lefty Carson Palmquist. Kranick signed a one-year deal with a club option for 2027 earlier this month. He’s expected to be ready to contribute at some point later this season while working his way back from last year’s elbow surgery.

Nationals signed RHP Max Kranick to a one-year contract with a club option for 2027.

The deal is now official. Kranick will factor into Washington’s relief mix at some point later this season as he continues his rehabilitation process from last year’s elbow surgery. The 28-year-old was putting together an extremely encouraging Mets debut with a 3.65 ERA across 37 innings last year before requiring season-ending surgery.

Nationals signed RHP Max Kranick to a one-year deal.

The deal is pending a physical. The 28-year-old underwent flexor tendon surgery in August, but has been throwing for teams this spring. He posted a 3.65 ERA over 37 innings with the Mets last year and should provide depth in the Nationals’ bullpen.

Mets non-tendered LHP José Castillo, RHP Max Kranick and LHP Danny Young.

The Kranick and Young moves, reported earlier today, are now official. Joining them is Castillo, who was briefly a Met during the season and rejoined the team after claimed off waivers from the Orioles earlier this month. He could stay with the club on a minor league deal.

Will Sammon of The Athletic reports that the Mets do not plan to tender an account to Max Kranick before Friday’s deadline.

The 28-year-old hurler underwent flexor tendon surgery in August and is expected to miss a large portion of the 2026 season. It’s quite possible that the Mets will still look to bring him back on a minor league deal as he recovers from the procedure.

Max Kranick (elbow) underwent flexor tendon repair surgery.

It’s a significant development since the expectation after Kranick was transferred last week to the 60-day injured list was that he would require a full Tommy John surgery. The 28-year-old righty is going to miss a significant portion of next season, but he’ll have a much quicker return timeline following the less invasive procedure.

Mets transferred RHP Max Kranick from 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Kranick’s move to the 60-day list is simply a procedural one, as it clears a space on the 40-man roster for José Castillo. Kranick will miss the rest of 2025 and most of the 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last week.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Friday that Max Kranick will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

It will unfortunately be the second time in three years that the 27-year-old hurler will require the procedure. He’ll miss the remainder of the 2025 season and the majority of the 2026 campaign as well while recovering from the procedure.
