He is expected to undergo imaging to reveal the full extent of the issue, but manager Carlos Mendoza did admit that this is concerning, especially because the right-hander just recently returned from a two-week IL stint for inflammation in that same elbow. He continued to have a hard time recovering after every time he pitched, Mendoza said. [Wednesday] night, we got him hot, and as he was getting loose in the bullpen, we shut him down.

Katia brought out the violin for a memorable rendition of the anthem pregame as Lindor and their three kids watched on. Lindor jumped in celebration while carrying his youngest child, Koa Amani Lindor. Of course, Lindor then ended up smashing a home run in the bottom of the second, and cameras found Katia now celebrating with their children. The couple's daughter, Kalina, also did the "play ball" prior to the game.

One thing is for certain: Friday night had better not be the last time Sandy Alcantara takes the mound for the Miami Marlins in 2025. Sandy could have thrown a perfect game Friday night, narrowly outdueling fellow former Cy Young winner Tariq Skubal of the Tigers, and that would still be true. No matter how epic, no matter how packed loanDepotPark was or wasn't, the Marlins have to finagle things to let Alcantara take the mound during the final weekend of the season.

We were a part of the team when 9/11 2001 happened. It means a lot for us to come back. We never forget the brave men and women who gave their lives. We come back every year to show our support, and the Mets organization shows our support year in and year out. The effort that these men and women do day in and day out, because of them, we can put our heads on our pillows at night and sleep comfortably.

The Mets don't expect Jesse Winker to return this season, manager Carlos Mendoza tells reporters (including Mike Puma of The New York Post). Winker has been sidelined since the middle of July with a lower back injury. He began a rehab assignment last week but has been shut back down from baseball activity, suggesting he suffered some kind of setback.

Nimmo hit a two-run double in the first and Alonso launched a two-run homer in the fifth, tying it 4 with his 30th longball this season. But the Mets made three errors in all that led to five unearned runs, halting their momentum following a three-game sweep of NL East-leading Philadelphia. New York fell five games behind the Phillies, who routed Atlanta 19-4 at home, with 28 remaining.
