RHP Tylor Megill
Injury: Right elbow sprain
IL date: June 17 (60-day IL)
Expected return: 2026
Status: Was shut down from throwing after experiencing continued forearm tightness during a Sept. 7 rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse. Underwent an MRI and was seeking multiple opinions. Is unlikely to return this season in any case, given how late in the year it already is. (updated Sept. 9)
OF Tyrone Taylor
Injury: Left hamstring strain
IL date: Sept. 2, retroactive to Aug. 30 (10-day IL)
Expected return: Second week of September
Status: Began experiencing hamstring tightness on Aug. 29 and has not played since. Should advance to a Minor League rehab assignment the week of Sept. 15, but will need to jockey with a healthy Jose Siri for playing time once he returns. (updated Sept. 9) More >>
C Luis Torrens
Injury: Right forearm contusion
IL date: Sept. 8 (10-day IL, retroactive to Sept. 7)
Expected return: Sept. 17
Status: Has been battling forearm discomfort for much of the season. Could play through the injury but consented to an IL stint given that starting catcher Francisco Alvarez is also playing hurt. Should only require a minimum stay on the IL. (updated Sept. 8)
RHP Frankie Montas
Injury: Right elbow UCL injury
IL date: Aug. 23 (60-day IL)
Expected return: 2026 or 2027
Status: Complained of biceps soreness on Aug. 22 and subsequently underwent an MRI, which revealed the ligament injury. Was transferred to the 60-day IL on Aug. 25, officially ending his 2025 season. Could miss next season as well depending on his recovery from surgery. (updated Aug. 25) More >>
RHP Christian Scott
Injury: Sprained UCL in right elbow
IL date: March 27 (60-day IL)
Expected return: 2026
Status: Underwent a hybrid Tommy John surgery in September 2024 and will miss the entire 2025 campaign. Began throwing for the first time again on March 11 and graduated to bullpen sessions in August, with an eye toward 2026. (updated Aug. 13)
RHP Max Kranick
Injury: Right flexor strain
IL date: June 19 (60-day IL)
Expected return: 2026
Status: Underwent season-ending flexor tendon surgery in July. That operation gives him a chance to be ready at some point in 2026, which wouldn't have been the case had he needed Tommy John surgery as Mets officials initially feared. (updated Aug. 4)
RHP Drew Smith
Injury: Recovery from Tommy John surgery with internal brace
IL date: Feb. 13 (60-day IL)
Expected return: Late 2025 or 2026
Status: Underwent surgery in July 2024. Subsequently signed a one-year deal with a 2026 team option to return to the Mets, who are overseeing his rehab. Has been throwing bullpen sessions and should advance to live batting practice soon. (updated July 29)
RHP Dedniel Núñez
Injury: Right elbow sprain
IL date: July 3 (60-day IL)
