José Quintana - Another rehab start Friday Quintana (ribs) is scheduled to make another rehab start Friday with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Quintana will aim to get up to around 75-80 pitches after topping out at 64 pitches (33 strikes) over just 2.2 innings last week at Syracuse. Recovered from March surgery on his rib cage, the 34-year-old left-hander seems likely to make his Mets debut shortly after the All-Star break.

Edwin Uceta - Goes to 60-day IL The Mets transferred Uceta (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Impact The transaction won't affect Uceta's timeline for rejoining the Mets, as he had already missed more than two months after landing on the 15-day IL on April 25 due to a left ankle sprain. He resumed a rehab assignment in early May, only to develop a left knee injury during that time before he was ultimately diagnosed with a torn meniscus, which he had surgically repaired June 9. The Mets likely won't have a precise timeline for Uceta's return from the IL until he resumes a throwing program.

Chris Flexen - Won't stick on 40-man roster The Mets designated Flexen for assignment Monday after acquiring him from the Mariners.
Impact Along with Flexen, the Mets acquired right-hander Trevor Gott from Seattle in exchange for lefty Zach Muckenhirn, but Gott is the main asset in the deal from the Mets' standpoint. The Mets will absorb the approximately $4 million remaining on Flexen's contract, and though he won't be added to the 40-man roster, the organization is presumably hoping that he'll pass through waivers and help bolster the rotation at Triple-A Syracuse. Flexen owns an ugly 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP in 42 frames with Seattle in 2023, but between the prior two seasons, the 29-year-old right-hander amassed a 3.66 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 317.1 innings and 53 starts. Perhaps a change of scenery will help the soft-tossing Flexen stumble upon a better pitch mix or a mechanical tweak that could allow him to resurface as useful rotation depth for the big club in the latter portion of the season.
