Overview
- Marcus Semien began a Double‑A rehab assignment Sunday with Binghamton and recorded at least one hit in his first game, with some reports saying he finished 2-for-3 and hit a three‑run homer.
- Luis Robert Jr. played a full game for Binghamton on Sunday, going 2-for-6 with an RBI single as he continues to ramp up after a lower‑back disc herniation that sent him to the injured list in late April.
- Interim manager Andy Green said both players will take live batting practice against Mets reliever Clay Holmes during the All‑Star break and that additional minor‑league rehab games are likely next steps before any MLB activation.
- Semien is rehabbing a left hip flexor strain after last appearing for New York on June 24, and he has a .214 average with nine homers, 29 RBIs and six steals in 80 games this season for the Mets.
- The Mets will use the short break and follow-up rehab games as checkpoints to decide timing for returns, with the next likely minor‑league outings expected to start the Friday after the All‑Star break and potentially determine roster moves.
