Brandon Nimmo

NYM Left Fielder #9

1dBrandon Nimmo hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth Monday as the Mets and Yankees played to a 6-6 tie.

The Yankees used major leaguers up until the ninth, when they brought in Jordany Ventura. Nimmo took advantage, hitting his first homer in his final at-bat of the spring. He played all nine innings in left field today, so his troublesome knee must be feeling pretty good. He’ll likely spend some time at DH early on this season, but the Mets would certainly prefer to have Jesse Winker there and Nimmo in left field most days.

Alexander Canario

NYM Left Fielder #25

2dAlexander Canario had two homers, including a grand slam, in the Mets’ 10-2 rout of the Marlins on Sunday.

He also singled. When we checked in on Canario a week ago, he was just 3-for-25 with a .621 OPS this spring. Now he’s 11-for-35 with a 1.058 OPS. He still doesn’t make sense for the Mets roster, but it seems far more likely now that he’ll be claimed by some team (Colorado?) if he goes on waivers.

Griffin Canning

NYM Starting Pitcher #46

2dGriffin Canning allowed two runs over 4 1/3 innings and struck out six against the Marlins on Sunday.

Canning was officially named to the Mets rotation today, and he’ll start game three against the Astros on Sunday. He’s probably not an option in shallow mixed leagues, but those in deeper formats could take a chance. He wound up with a 1.88 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings this spring.

Dedniel Nunez

NYM Relief Pitcher #72

2dMets optioned RHP Dedniel Núñez to Triple-A Syracuse.

Núñez was brought along slowly this spring after finishing last season on the shelf with a forearm injury. The hard-throwing 28-year-old righty will get some extra time to ramp-up out of the spotlight at Triple-A Syracuse. He figures to rejoin New York’s bullpen mix at some point in April.

Hayden Senger

NYM Catcher

3dHayden Senger hit his first spring homer Saturday as the Mets and Nationals played to a 5-5 tie.

The Mets told Jakson Reetz he’s not making the team, so Senger is currently in line to serve as Luis Torrens’ backup while Franciscoo Alvarez is out. The caveat there is that the Mets still could bring in an alternative from outside of the organization (Tomás Nido anyone?). Senger, 27, he never played in the majors. He hit .234/.302/363 in a 2024 season spent mostly in Triple-A.

Tylor Megill

NYM Starting Pitcher #38

3dTylor Megill pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed three runs Saturday against the Nationals.

Megill struck out five today and had a fine 32% CSW in the 88-pitch outing. He’s all set to occupy a spot in the Mets rotation, and while he’s a definite mixed-league sleeper, he’s not a stellar first-week play ahead of a likely start in Houston.

Chris Devenski

NYM Relief Pitcher #49

3dMets reassigned RHP Chris Devenski, INF Donovan Walton, C Jakson Reetz and LHP Génesis Cabrera and RHP José Ureña to minor league camp.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza made it official that Reed Garrett, José Butto and Danny Young will open the year in New York’s bullpen. The decision to jettison Walton leaves Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuña as the Mets’ primary bench options, but they haven’t officially made the team yet, added Mendoza. It also means that A.J. Minter and Dedniel Nuñez are probably headed to the injured list.

Brett Baty

NYM Third Baseman #7

4dBrett Baty homered and doubled to lead the Mets past the Cardinals 3-2 on Friday.

The double was a more impressive shot than the homer, leaving his bat at 109.8 mph and traveling 393 feet to center. Baty is batting .354/.415/.708 in 53 plate appearances. It’s still unclear whether the Mets will be comfortable giving him much time at second base — he was back at third today — but he should join Luisangel Acuña on the roster with Jeff McNeil on the injured list.

Clay Holmes

NYM Relief Pitcher #35

4dClay Holmes fanned eight in 5 1/3 scoreless innings Friday against the Cardinals.

There’s every reason now to think that Holmes will be one of the NL’s better starters in the early part of the season. It’s definitely worth wondering how he’ll hold up; because he was working out of the pen, he hasn’t topped 70 innings since 2018. But early on, at least, he should be a stud. He concludes the spring with a 0.93 ERA and a 23/8 K/BB in 19 1/3 innings. The league hit .109 against him.

Danny Young

NYM Relief Pitcher #81

4dDanny Young turned in a scoreless ninth for a save against the Cardinals on Friday.

It’s probably irrelevant for fantasy purposes, but Young has been working at 92-95 mph this spring. His 93.8 mph average with his fastball is 2.5 mph better than last year and five mph higher than where he was in 2022 and ’23. It could make him a really good second lefty in the Mets pen, which already added A.J. Minter over the winter.
