Which Players are on the Mets’ Roster Bubble?
- The Mets are narrowing to 26 players for Opening Day, with key battles across outfield, bench, and bullpen.
- Francisco Lindor’s status remains uncertain due to a hamate bone stress reaction, affecting lineup decisions.
- A.J. Minter’s left lat surgery timing is shaping how the Mets allocate bullpen spots this spring.
- Carson Benge is in the mix for the starting right field job but faces competition from several veterans.
- Tyrone Taylor and MJ Melendez are among non-roster invitees making noise in the right-field competition.
- The final bench spot is expected to go to a versatile infielder or outfielder, with Vidal Bruján, Ronny Mauricio, MJ Melendez, and Jared Young in consideration.
- Luis Torrens is slated as the backup catcher for a four-bench setup, with Mark Vientos likely securing a utility role.
- Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, and Luis García are locks in the Mets’ bullpen, with two openings remaining.
- Tobias Myers is expected to stretch out this spring and could join the bullpen if he doesn’t win a rotation spot.
- The Mets’ bullpen options include both veterans and prospects like Dylan Ross, Ryan Lambert, and Jonathan Pintaro competing for two spots.
- Left-hander Bryan Hudson is highlighted as a bullpen option to watch due to bullpen flexibility and options used with Minter sidelined.
