Mets’ Nimmo drives in 2 runs vs. Nats after hotel room accident

Brandon Nimmo had two RBIs in his return from a harrowing hotel room accident, and the New York Mets defeated the Washington Nationals 7-2 on Tuesday night for their second consecutive extra-innings triumph. Nimmo, who cut his forehead when he fainted and fell Sunday night, entered in the fourth inning after Harrison Bader was pulled following a collision with the wall in right-center field. In the eighth, he drove in Francisco Lindor for a tying RBI single, and then was part of a barrage of hits against Robert Garcia (0-3) once the game went to extras.

Astros infielder Jose Altuve ejected in victory at Mets

Jose Altuve was hopping mad. He had appeared to foul a ball off his left foot in the seventh inning of Sunday’s match at the New York Mets, with runners on second and third and two outs as the Houston Astros tried to boost their 4-2 lead. The ball went on three hops to third baseman Mark Vientos, who threw to first as Altuve remained near the batter’s box. Umpires ruled it an inning-ending groundout, and Altuve was ejected for the second time in his major league career after tossing his helmet and bat. “They didn’t see it,” Altuve said after the Astros’ 10-5 victory in 11 […]

Aaron Judge stays hot with 30th homer for slumping Yankees

The New York Yankees are suddenly staggering, losing nine of their past 12 matches and four consecutive series after consecutive losses to the Mets. Wednesday’s defeat was especially ugly: a 12-2, rain-delayed pounding at Citi Field. The Yankees remain in first place by one game only because the second-place Baltimore Orioles are also in a rut. That doesn’t mean Aaron Judge has stopped hitting. The superstar slugger continued his rampage Wednesday, pushing both Yankees runs across with his 30th home run of the season in the Yankees’ 82nd game — the same pace he was on in 2022 when he finished with an American League-record 62 […]

Mets say Jorge Lopez’s post-ejection glove toss ‘not acceptable’

The New York Mets held a players-only team meeting Wednesday night after getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 10-3 loss that included another late-inning bullpen implosion and reliever Jorge Lopez throwing his glove into his stands after being ejected. The score was tied at 3-3 heading into the eighth inning before the Dodgers scored six times against three relievers. One was Lopez, who took issue with third-base umpire Ramon De Jesus’ ruling on a check swing from Shohei Ohtani. Lopez wound up surrendering a two-run home run to Ohtani. He kept arguing with De Jesus while falling behind 3-1 to Freddie Freeman before the umpire ejected […]

David Stearns, Mets have ‘plenty of time’ to weigh trades

With his team sinking in the standings, New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns stated Tuesday that he will continue to practice patience before deciding whether to keep the roster intact for a postseason push or trade veterans at the July 30 deadline. “Generally, the trade deadline becomes an inflection point in the season,” Stearns said, “and we’ve got plenty of time before that.” The Mets entered Tuesday’s doubleheader versus the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 22-30 record, 14.5 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East and 4.5 games from the third NL wild-card spot. They had lost 10 of […]

Cardinals’ Willson Contreras needs surgery, to miss 6 weeks

Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras broke his left forearm when he was hit by a swing during Tuesday night’s 7-5 loss to the New York Mets. Contreras told reporters he will need surgery and miss at least six weeks. “So right now I mean, I’m in pain pretty good, but I’m really upset missing,” Contreras stated. “I know that it’s going to be tough for me to watch the games and not out there with the guys, but I’m going to do my best to stay present, pick each other up and cheer for them because that’s the best thing I can do.” Contreras got hurt with J.D.

Bader back to N.Y., but this time with Mets on one-year deal

Center fielder Harrison Bader and the New York Mets agreed on a one-year, $10.5 million contract Thursday, sources told ESPN, the latest in a series of short-term pacts for the Mets as they approach 2024 as a transitional season. The 29-year-old Bader is a gifted defensive outfielder, but an inconsistent bat and injury issues have hampered him. Under new president of baseball operations David Stearns, the Mets have added Bader and Tyrone Taylor, both of whom can play center, to complement incumbent center fielder Brandon Nimmo and right fielder Starling Marte. Following a standout 2022 postseason in which he hit five home runs in nine matches for the New […]

Luis Severino goes from Yankees to Mets with $13M deal

Right-hander Luis Severino and the New York Mets on Wednesday agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract, sources told ESPN, sending the longtime Yankee to a Mets team that plans to spend its winter upgrading a depleted rotation. Severino, 29, had spent all of his eight-year career with the Yankees, including a rough 2023 in which he posted a 6.65 ERA over 89⅓ innings. Still, the free agent market has set the price of veteran starting pitchers at $10 million-plus a year — and Severino’s past success bought him slightly more. Over his first seven seasons with the Yankees, Severino was highly effective when healthy. He […]

Mets hiring David Stearns as president of baseball operations

The New York Mets are hiring David Stearns as their president of baseball operations, sources told ESPN on Tuesday, tabbing the architect of multiple division titles in Milwaukee to help deliver the first World Series championship to Queens in nearly four decades. Stearns, 38, has long been rumored to take over the Mets after stepping down as Brewers president after the 2022 season and will officially start his five-year deal in early October, after the regular season ends, sources told ESPN. A New York native who grew up a Mets fan, Stearns was denied permission by the Brewers to talk about the Mets’ top baseball operations […]

Max Scherzer settles in, strikes out 9 to win Rangers debut

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer settled down after a shaky start to win his debut for the American League West-leading Texas Rangers, striking out nine over six innings and getting some help from his new teammates as they defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Thursday. Four of Chicago’s first five batters reached base in a three-run first inning when Scherzer (10-4) threw 37 pitches. The White Sox then had three singles in the second, though Scherzer benefitted from a double-play grounder and an inning-ending strikeout to prevent any more runs. Scherzer, acquired from the New York Mets in a trade over the weekend and […]
