Overview
- Devin Williams is scheduled to face hitters Thursday and is aiming to rejoin the Mets’ bullpen this weekend if he clears the next evaluations.
- Williams has completed multiple bullpen sessions and live‑batter work at Citi Field and said he would like to avoid a minor‑league rehab assignment.
- Interim manager Andy Green watched Williams’ recent session and said he “looked good” while noting there are still more boxes to check before an activation.
- Kodai Senga has assumed late‑inning duties in Williams’ absence, converting seven of seven save chances with high velocity and a sharp forkball, which complicates how the Mets would use both arms down the stretch.
- With New York already eliminated from playoff contention, the club is balancing short‑term roster value against finishing Williams healthy for the offseason as he enters 2027 on a three‑year, $51 million contract after a 3-2 season with a 4.66 ERA and 16 saves.
