Struggling Mets Prospects Raise Questions About Team's Future Outlook Several top Mets prospects have underperformed this season, which is raising questions about the team's future.

Kodai Senga - Could resume throwing soon Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday that he's hopeful Senga (calf) will be able to throw while standing within the next 7-to-10 days, Laura Albanese of...

Impact Senga has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with a high-grade left calf strain, but it's possible he could be available should the Mets make a playoff run. The pitcher being able to resume throwing soon will give the team a better idea as to whether it's doable.

Starling Marte - Could join Mets Sunday Marte (knee) is scheduled to play nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Friday and could be activated Sunday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Impact Marte was trending toward returning sometime this weekend and it appears as though Sunday is the outfielder's target date. Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that Marte would need to play seven innings in the field on back-to-back days before the Mets would feel comfortable bringing him back. After playing a full nine innings Thursday with Syracuse, Marte is slated to complete Mendoza's requirement Friday. Still, it's unclear how big of a role Marte will play once he's back with the big-league club, as deadline acquisition Jesse Winker has been the team's everyday right fielder recently.

Dedniel Núñez - Faces hitters, assignment nearing Nunez (forearm) threw 20 pitches of live batting practice Friday and expects to begin a rehab assignment next, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Impact Nunez went up against batters for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 26 and left the session without a setback. While it's unclear when he'll be shipped out for a minor-league rehab assignment, the 28-year-old expects a rehab stint to be the next step in his recovery from a strained right forearm.

Brandon Nimmo - Back in lineup Nimmo (illness) is batting third and playing left field Friday against Miami.

Impact Nimmo didn't play in Thursday's game against Oakland due to the stomach flu, but he's feeling well enough to suit up and start Friday's series opener. The left fielder is 0-for-13 with four walks, a run scored and an RBI across his last four games.

Reed Garrett - Takes loss Thursday Garrett (7-4) took the loss Thursday against the A's, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk in one inning. He struck out one.

Impact Garrett entered the game in the sixth inning with the Mets ahead 6-5. He promptly allowed a single and a double to lead off the frame, allowing Oakland to tie the game on a fielder's choice, before Seth Brown put the A's ahead 7-6 with a one-out single. It was a tough outing for the 31-year-old Garrett in just his second appearance following a month-long IL stint. The right-hander now sports a 3.89 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 67:23 K:BB through 44 innings this season while logging four saves and eight holds.

Jose Iglesias - On base three times Thursday Iglesias went 2-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the A's.

Impact The veteran infielder got the start at second base and batted sixth, and he kept up the offensive production that has pushed him into a near-everyday role. Even with Jeff McNeil turning things around at the plate, Iglesias has started eight of 13 games so far in August, batting .313 (10-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI and four runs. The lack of counting stats makes him tough to roster in shallower formats however, and with Starling Marte (knee) potentially returning from the IL this weekend, Iglesias could find himself relegated to the short side of a platoon with McNeil at the keystone.

Mets' Mark Vientos's big day not enough to salvage series against lowly A's Mets stay put in standings after squandering rubber game against A's

AUGUST 15 • NJ.COM

Mark Vientos - Homers twice Thursday Vientos went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the A's.

Impact Batting out of the two-hole for the first time this year, Vientos certainly made a case to stay at the top of the order -- the third baseman launched a two-run homer off Mitch Spence in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Michel Otanez in the fourth. Vientos had cooled off a bit after a hot start to his season. Thursday's performance was his first multi-hit game since July 26 -- he'd gone 10-for-50 (.200) in his subsequent 15 contests. Still, it's been an impressive campaign overall for Vientos, who's established himself as a regular in the Mets' lineup. He's now slashing .275/.333/.557 through 288 plate appearances with 19 homers, 48 RBI and 38 runs scored.

Jose Quintana - Shaky vs. Oakland Quintana didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the A's, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.

Impact Quintana struggled for most of Thursday's outing, though he'd manage to hold Oakland scoreless through three innings, despite loading the bases twice. However, the A's made the left-hander pay in the fourth, when JJ Bleday launched a grand slam following a pair of two-out walks. It's the third time in five starts that Quintana's issued four or more walks -- he's now allowed 12 runs over 15.2 innings in his last three outings. Overall, Quintana is 6-8 on the year with a 4.26 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 103:50 K:BB across 129 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, currently lined up for next week at home versus the Orioles.

Sean Reid-Foley - Rehab assignment paused Reid-Foley's rehab assignment is being paused as he works on strengthening his right shoulder, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Reid-Foley's shoulder has been deemed structurally sound and there are no plans for any testing. However, he has been tagged for seven runs and has walked eight over 4.2 rehab innings, so the Mets want him to build up some arm strength before he's cleared to pitch in games again. Reid-Foley has been out since late June and it now seems unlikely that he'll return before September.

Brandon Nimmo - Battling stomach flu Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Nimmo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics due to a case of the stomach flu, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Mendoza noted that Nimmo was unable to get much sleep Wednesday night due to the ailment, so the Mets will hold him out of the lineup as they wrap up their series against Oakland with a day game. Jeff McNeil will pick up a start in the outfield in place of Nimmo, who has gone 3-for-32 with 11 strikeouts over his last nine starts to bring his batting average down to .226 for the season.
