Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Wednesday in his end-of-season media session that Nunez (forearm) is progressing well and the hope is he will be ready to throw off a mound in November, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports. Nunez missed most of the second half with a right forearm injury, but there's optimism from the team that he could have a relatively normal offseason. The 28-year-old was an unsung hero out of the Mets' bullpen in 2024, collecting a 2.31 ERA and 48:8 K:BB over 35 innings.

Nunez (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Nunez has been dealing with a lingering forearm injury he initially sustained in late July. Nunez was reinstated Aug. 23 but was placed back on the shelf Aug. 29 when his flexor injury returned. The right-hander appeared in 25 games for the Mets this year, logging a 2.31 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 35 innings with an impressive 48:8 K:BB.

Nunez (forearm) played catch Thursday, but his availability remains unclear, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Nunez wasn't available for Wednesday's game in Arizona due to right forearm tightness, which is the same injury he just recently returned from. He could be headed back to the injured list, but the Mets also didn't rule out the possibility that he's available to pitch as soon as Thursday. It's a wide range of outcomes for one of the team's best relievers this season.

Nunez wasn't available for Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Diamondbacks due to forearm tightness, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. Nunez returned from the injured list Friday after spending nearly a month on the shelf due to a right forearm strain. He went 1.2 innings and struck out three batters during his first appearance back Saturday, but manager Carlos Mendoza said the 28-year-old reliever hasn't recovered properly from the outing and is once again experiencing forearm problems. He's considered day-to-day for now, though the Mets will likely want to take a closer look at him to determine if he'll need to make another trip to the IL.

The Mets reinstated Nunez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Friday. As expected, Nunez will come off the injured list Friday after spending almost a month on the shelf with a pronator strain in his right forearm. Prior to the injury, Nunez logged a 2.43 ERA with nine holds across 33.1 innings for the Mets. Huascar Brazoban was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
