Mets place Starling Marte on injured list with bruised right knee, activate Jesse Winker
BALTIMORE — The New York Mets placed Starling Marte on the 10-day injured list with a bruised right knee on Tuesday and activated Jesse Winker, who missed two months with an oblique injury. Marte and Winker play the outfield, but have been used primarily as the Mets' designated hitter. 'It's funny how things work,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'You gain one, you lose one.' Also on Tuesday, the Mets selected the contract of right-hander Alex Carrillo from Triple-A Syracuse and designated pitcher Zach Pop for assignment. Marte had seven hits in his last three games, including three on Sunday as the starting left fielder against the Yankees. The 36-year-old is batting .270 with four homers and 20 RBIs in 58 games. The Mets hope to have Marte back after the All-Star break. 'It was something he was dealing with during spring training and a little bit of last year,' Mendoza said. 'We're going to let it calm down. Talking with him today, he's in a pretty good spot.' Winker, activated from the 60-day injured list, last played on May 4. The left fielder is batting .239 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 24 games. 'He's a big bat, especially from the left side,' Mendoza said. 'You know what you're going to get at the plate. I'm excited to have him back.' Carrillo, signed by the Mets out of the Venezuelan Winter League, has a blistering fastball that has been clocked at 100 mph. 'It's a pretty cool story,' Mendoza said. 'A guy who was in Independent ball last year. I remember getting a call from someone in Venezuela that I know, telling me about this guy. We got him in the organization, and he's in the big leagues now. We're going to give him a good look here.' ___ AP MLB:

Mariners reliever hits low vs. Twins not seen since 2002
The post Mariners reliever hits low vs. Twins not seen since 2002 appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Seattle Mariners took a serious bullpen hit Thursday, and it came at the worst possible time. Reliever Zach Pop, a 28-year-old right-hander, surrendered eight runs in the sixth inning against the Minnesota Twins, a collapse that hasn't been seen from a reliever vs. Minnesota since 2002. The Mariners, clinging to a Wild Card spot after falling 10-1 to the Twins, now face growing questions about their bullpen stability. Advertisement The rough outing was confirmed by The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman, who shared the historical context on X (formerly known as Twitter). '#MNTwins scored eight runs vs. Mariners reliever Zach Pop in the sixth inning. The last reliever to allow more than eight runs to the Twins was Cleveland right-hander Charles Nagy in 2002.' Before Thursday, Pop had delivered three solid outings for the Mariners, posting a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 4.1 innings. But in just his fourth appearance, everything unraveled—an eight-run collapse that sent his ERA soaring to 13.50. Seattle's current situation in the AL Wild Card race leaves little room for error. At 41-39, they're tied for the second Wild Card spot, with Cleveland, the Angels, and Rangers all within two games. With just over a month until the trade deadline, every game now carries added weight. The team's +20 run differential speaks to solid overall play, but bullpen fatigue and inconsistency threaten to undo that momentum. Advertisement Complicating matters further is the teams' upcoming schedule. With a must-win series ahead the Texas Rangers, and six teams within 3.5 games of the final Wild Card slot, manager Scott Servais must quickly reassess bullpen roles. Whether Pop stays in the mix remains to be seen, but one thing is clear, Seattle cannot afford another implosion. In particular, the fallout from the right hander's latest outing has intensified the spotlight on late-inning reliability. His eight-run meltdown wasn't just a statistical outlier—it served as a wake-up call for a team teetering between postseason hope and deadline uncertainty. While this outing may prove to be a blip in Pop's season, its timing and historical context make it stand out. The Mariners' bullpen has been leaned on heavily in recent weeks, and this latest collapse has reignited concerns about depth and dependability. Seattle's postseason hopes will hinge on their ability to stabilize the late innings and avoid more moments like this.

Mets make 3 roster moves amid Yankees series
Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images. The post Mets make 3 roster moves amid Yankees series appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Mets continued to adjust their roster ahead of Saturday's crucial Subway Series showdown with the New York Yankees, making three significant bullpen transactions. In a move that underscores the team's urgency to stay competitive in the NL East, the Mets signed right-hander Zach Pop to a one-year major league deal, designated Tyler Zuber for assignment, and optioned Austin Warren to Triple-A Syracuse. Advertisement All three moves were first reported by Just Mets' Michael Baron, who posted the following update on X, formerly known as Twitter. '#Mets roster moves: RHP Zach Pop (#56) signed to a 1-year Major League contract RHP Austin Warren optioned to Triple-A Syracuse RHP Tyler Zuber designated for assignment' The addition of Pop gives the Mets a potential bullpen stabilizer. While his most recent stint with Seattle saw him post a 13.50 ERA in four appearances, the 28-year-old has a career 4.75 ERA and thrives on generating ground balls with his sinking fastball. He's expected to begin in low-leverage spots as the club evaluates his fit. Meanwhile, Warren was optioned to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster. During his brief stint in Queens, he allowed one run over 1.2 innings. In the minors, however, he's recorded a respectable 4.18 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, keeping him in play for a potential call-up later this season depending on the Mets' bullpen needs. Advertisement Zuber was designated for assignment to open up a 40-man roster spot. The right-hander appeared in just one game for the club this year and carries a 5.27 career ERA. Acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays last season, Zuber has spent most of his time in the Mets' minor league system and now becomes a DFA casualty in a roster crunch. The Subway Series matchup carries significant weight, as the Mets enter Saturday just 0.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East. With Kodai Senga also beginning a rehab assignment in Double-A Binghamton, help could soon be on the way for the rotation as well. The team's recent surge has them squarely in the playoff picture, and every game against a rival like the Yankees carries October-level implications. With several key contributors working back from injury, depth and late-inning reliability remain top priorities. For now, the front office is clearly focused on maintaining bullpen flexibility and momentum after Friday's win over the Yankees. These latest Mets roster moves reflect a team trying to maximize every edge in a playoff race that looks destined to go down to the wire.
