Reed Garrett - Returning over weekend Garrett (elbow) will rejoin the Mets in Seattle on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Garrett may not be activated off the injured list immediately upon reporting to the team, but he is expected to return to the bullpen at some point during New York's series against the Mariners. The 31-year-old righty has been on the shelf since July 10 due to elbow inflammation after giving up three earned runs in two-thirds of an inning during his last appearance.

Jesse Winker - Sitting versus lefty Winker is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's left-hander Austin Gomber on the hill for the Rockies, so Winker will begin this one on the bench. Jeff McNeil will handle right field for the Mets while Jose Iglesias gets a start at second base.

Francisco Alvarez - Out of lineup Thursday Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alvarez was in the lineup for the second game of the series Wednesday, but Luis Torrens started the opener and is back in there for the finale. He did enter mid-game Tuesday and delivered a hit, so it's possible Alvarez could be used off the bench again Thursday.

Brandon Nimmo - Sitting against left-hander Nimmo is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's a day off for the left-handed hitting Nimmo as the Rockies send southpaw Austin Gomber to the bump. Tyrone Taylor will occupy left field for the Mets in the series finale.

Francisco Lindor - Plates two, swipes 24th bag Lindor went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Lindor singled in his first trip to the plate and stole second before coming around to score the Mets' first run of the game on a knock from Pete Alonso. The shortstop then came through in the clutch in his final at-bat, recording a two-RBI single in the ninth to break the tie and give New York a 4-2 lead. Lindor has now hit safely in five of his first six games to open the month of August, posting three RBI, four runs and two stolen bases over that brief stretch. He's also posted multiple hits in three of his last nine contests, though he's still looking for his first extra-base hit this month.

Edwin Díaz - Allows one run in save Diaz picked up the save in a win over the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit over one inning while striking out two.
Impact Diaz entered the contest in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead and surrendered a leadoff triple to Michael Toglia on the first pitch he threw before then seeing the runner come home on a Jake Cave groundout two batters later. However, the veteran reliever was able to wrap things up with a swinging strikeout of Charlie Blackmon to end the game and secure his 14th save of the campaign. Diaz has now converted each of his last six save opportunities, posting multiple strikeouts in three of his last four appearances. On the downside, he's also allowed a run in two of his last five outings.

Paul Blackburn - Second straight quality start Blackburn did not factor into the decision in a win over the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks over six innings while striking out six...
Impact Blackburn gave up one run in the opening frame after surrendering a leadoff single to start things off, but settled in nicely from that point on, allowing just one unearned run over the next five innings. It marked the right-hander's second quality start in a row since being traded to the Mets last month and he's also recorded six strikeouts in each of those outings. Furthermore, Blackburn has allowed one earned run in three of his last five starts (dating back to May 5), going 3-1 over that interrupted stretch.
