Overview

  • Minter was removed from his minor-league assignment after he reported left hip discomfort before a planned Triple-A Syracuse outing that was set to cap his rehab.
  • The left-hander has not pitched for the Mets since an April 2025 lat surgery, and manager Carlos Mendoza said he will rest a few days before throwing again.
  • Team and media reports indicate he will receive a fresh 30-day rehab window once cleared, which means his activation is no longer imminent.
  • The discomfort is in the same hip repaired for a torn labrum in August 2024, though Mendoza said the club is not overly concerned.
  • Minter posted a 1.17 ERA over eight rehab appearances across three levels, yet his fastball sat in the low 90s, and it is unclear if the hip issue affected that velocity.
