The Mets have placed left-handed reliever A.J. Minter on the 15-day injured list due to a left lat strain, but his absence may extend beyond that timeframe due to the severity of the injury. Manager Carlos Mendoza has indicated that surgery might be necessary, which would impact Minter's entire 2025 season. Despite his impressive performance early in the year, Minter's injury exacerbates the Mets' existing challenges with bullpen depth, as they currently lack sufficient left-handed options. His injury also raises concerns regarding his future contract prospects.
Minter's injury is "pretty significant" and could require surgery, which could end his 2025 season, posing challenges for the Mets' bullpen depth.
Despite Minter's outstanding performance with a 31.8% strikeout rate, the Mets are now light on left-handed relievers with him sidelined.
