Brett Baty - Back in action at Triple-A Baty (finger) is back in the lineup at Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday as their designated hitter, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Impact Baty had been sidelined since late August with a fractured left index finger. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Baty playing again in the majors this season is "in play," per Tim Healey of Newsday. However, given his .633 OPS in 50 games with the Mets this season, it's unlikely he'd have much of a role even if he does get recalled.

Kodai Senga - Hopes for rehab outing this weekend Senga (calf) hopes to make a one-inning rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse before their season ends Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact If he's able to make the appearance and come out of it without any physical concerns, Senga could rejoin the Mets as a reliever as soon as Sept. 26, when he's first eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list. The right-hander has been shelved since late July with a high-grade left calf strain.

Jesse Winker - Sitting versus southpaw Winker is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Southpaw DJ Herz is on the hill for the Nationals, so the left-handed-hitting Winker will grab a seat. Brandon Nimmo is playing left field for the Mets while Harrison Bader patrols center.

J.D. Martinez - Absent from lineup Martinez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact In the midst of a six-game hitless stretch, Martinez will grab a seat for the series finale. Starling Marte is in the designated hitter spot for the Mets while Tyrone Taylor plays right field.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Francisco Lindor - Likely out until at least Friday Lindor (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mets manager Carlos Mendoza implied that Lindor is also unlikely to play in Thursday's series opener versus the Phillies. Wednesday's absence will be the third straight game he's missed due to a back injury. Lindor is expected to return before the end of the regular season, but it remains a bit of a mystery as to when exactly it might happen. Luisangel Acuna is getting another start at shortstop Wednesday.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Paul Blackburn - Hopes to return next week Blackburn (back) will play catch Wednesday and hopes to return to the Mets as soon as the middle of next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Blackburn is dealing with a spinal fluid leak but is feeling better after being given about 10 platelet-rich plasma injections. The right-hander hasn't pitched in two weeks, and that, combined with how well the Mets' rotation is currently pitching, means that Blackburn would likely return as a reliever, if he does make it back.

Christian Scott - Set for hybrid elbow procedure Scott's (elbow) agent, Nate Heisler, announced Wednesday via social media that the right-hander will undergo a traditional Tommy John surgery combined with an internal brace early...
Impact Scott was placed on the 15-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break with a UCL sprain in his right elbow, but the Mets had initially been optimistic that the 25-year-old would be able to avoid surgery and make a late-season return. He was cleared to start throwing off flat ground in late August and advanced to throwing bullpen sessions earlier this month, but Scott appears to have hit a snag in his recovery that has prompted him to get surgery. Since Scott is set to undergo a hybrid procedure involving the internal brace, he may have a slightly speedier recovery than if he had opted for Tommy John surgery alone, but he's still likely to miss the entire 2025 season.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Luisangel Acuña - Shines as Lindor replacement Acuna went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two additional runs in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact Though Jose Iglesias assumed leadoff duties for the second game in a row while the Mets' usual table setter, Francisco Lindor (back), was on the bench, Acuna stepped in at Lindor's usual spot at shortstop. The rookie made the most of his second career start, providing a spark at the bottom of the order and matching Iglesias' output with three hits. After an MRI revealed no structural damage to his back, Lindor said that he anticipates returning to the lineup later this week, so Acuna may not have many more chances to build on Tuesday's excellent performance.

Pete Alonso - Homers, plates five in win Alonso went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, five RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-1 victory over Washington.
Impact The Mets first baseman entered this game on a cold spell, hitting just .213 (10-for-47) in 14 September games, and left having doubled his RBI total on the month. Alonso drove in his first pair of runs with single in third inning before adding a three-run homer to his ledger in the eighth. Perhaps this performance will bust the free-agent-to-be out of his September swoon. Alonso is now slashing .244/.330/.472 with 33 homers, 31 doubles, 86 RBI and 87 runs scored across 649 plate appearances this season.

Tylor Megill - Twirls gem vs Washington Megill (4-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
Impact The New York right-hander posted his second consecutive quality start, third overall, with this 94-pitch performance. Megill allowed just one extra-base hit -- a double by Dylan Crews in the second -- working around an unearned run in third en route to his 21st career win. The hard-throwing 29-year-old averaged 96.3 mph on his fastball, up 0.7 mph from his normal, and has now pitched to a 2.76 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB across 29.1 innings in the second half. Megill looks to continue his impressive work against the division-leading Phillies in next start, scheduled for this weekend.
