Overview

  • A.J. Minter, who reported left-hip discomfort Wednesday before Triple-A Syracuse’s game, was pulled off his rehab assignment.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said the team is not too concerned and will give him a few days of rest before he resumes throwing, even though the soreness is in the hip repaired in 2024.
  • The move restarts MLB’s 30-day rehab window, which was set to expire this weekend and would have required the Mets to activate him.
  • Minter logged a 1.17 ERA over eight minor-league outings, but his fastball stayed in the low 90s and the club is unsure whether the hip issue played a role.
  • His delay keeps the Mets without a late-inning lefty they expected to add, leaving Brooks Raley as the primary option while Sean Manaea continues in lower-leverage spots.
