"The New York Mets right-hander reliever Reed Garrett will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the team confirmed Thursday. The operation, performed on Wednesday, is formally termed as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, which will deprive New York of his services throughout the next season, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Garrett is the fifth Mets pitcher in 2025 to undergo Tommy John surgery, joining Danny Young, Dedniel Nunez, Frankie Montas, and Tylor Megill."
"The 32-year-old appeared in a career-high 58 games this season, going 3-6 with a 3.90 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, and 64 strikeouts in 55.1 innings (10.4 K/9). He also compiled three saves and 20 holds. Garrett's overall production across his three seasons with New York stands at a 4.10 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 129.2 innings. His 2025 campaign started strongly. Garrett did not allow an earned run through his first 13 outings, followed by a 1.38 ERA in May and two saves."
"Since joining the Mets off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles in June 2023, Garrett had emerged as a late-career breakout reliever. His 2024 season was his best in the majors, where he went 8-5, with a 3.77 ERA, 83 strikeouts, and 1.40 WHIP in 57.1 innings, including seven postseason outings (5.40 ERA in 8.1 IP). In the last two years, he has made 111 appearances, a significant increase in workload"
Reed Garrett underwent ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (Tommy John surgery) and will miss the entire 2026 season. The elbow problem began in August 2025 with inflammation that sent him to the 15-day injured list, and renewed discomfort after a brief mid-September return led to another IL stint and an MRI that revealed a UCL sprain. Garrett pursued non-surgical options before electing surgery. He appeared in a career-high 58 games in 2025 with a 3.90 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 64 strikeouts, three saves and 20 holds. Garrett is the fifth Mets pitcher in 2025 to undergo Tommy John surgery.
