Overview
- Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed late Friday that X-rays showed a fractured right fibula after a 111.1 mph liner by Yankees rookie Spencer Jones in the fourth inning.
- Holmes stayed in to face seven more batters and returned for the fifth before leaving, with the break only found in postgame imaging.
- Mendoza offered no timetable for a return, calling it a huge blow and saying Holmes will be down for a long time.
- The right-hander had been the Mets’ steadiest starter, carrying a 1.86 ERA and 1.01 WHIP into the game and exiting with a 2.39 ERA through nine starts.
- His absence strains a roster already missing Francisco Lindor, Francisco Alvarez, Jorge Polanco and Kodai Senga.
