Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Could be headed for Tommy John
Dedniel Nunez (elbow) may require Tommy john surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.While the New York Mets initially labeled Nunez's injury as a right elbow sprain when he was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, an MRI revealed more significant issues with his ligament. If he does end up needing Tommy John surgery, it would be the second such procedure in the 29-year-old right-hander's career. Given his history of arm trouble, expect the Mets to be cautious with Nunez's recovery, even if he avoids a worst-case scenario.

Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Shelved with sprained elbow
The New York Mets placed Dedniel Nunez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow sprain.Nunez has done a nice job with the Mets since being recalled from Triple-A in late June, giving up two runs over six innings while striking out eight batters and logging two holds. However, he won't get another chance to pitch until after the All-Star break thanks to an elbow sprain that appeared following his last outing Wednesday. Paul Blackburn (shoulder) will move to the IL with Nunez, creating space for Justin Hagenman and Rico Garcia to join New York.

Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Called up from Triple-A
The New York Mets recalled Dedniel Nunez from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.New York optioned righty Blade Tidwell -- who started in the Mets' 6-5 loss in Game 1 -- to Triple-A to make room on the roster for Nunez, who will be making his 2025 MLB debut if/when he gets into a game. Since the Mets are designating Austin Warren as their 27th man for the doubleheader, Nunez appears likely to stick around in the majors once the twin bill concludes. The 28-year-old righty impressed as a rookie out of the New York bullpen in 2024 with a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB in 35 innings, but he didn't pitch after August due to a flexor strain. The injury delayed him in spring training and resulted in him missing out on a spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, but he's looked sharper over his last four appearances with Syracuse, giving up two runs (one earned) while striking out five and walking one over 4.1 innings.

Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Should return in April
Dedniel Nunez is eligible to be called up from Triple-A Syracuse on April 11 after being optioned Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.The right-hander was brought along slowly in camp after missing almost the entire second half of last season due to forearm trouble, and while he's healthy now, Nunez simply ran out of time to get fully built up. He's still expected to be a big part of the New York Mets' high-leverage crew in 2025, and should re-join the big-league bullpen once the team is confident he can handle a normal usage pattern.

Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Sent to minors
Dedniel Nunez has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.Nunez emerged as a key part of New York's bullpen as a rookie last year, posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB while racking up nine holds and a save over 25 regular-season appearances spanning 35 innings. He allowed two runs over two innings with a 3:0 K:B this spring, but the New York Mets have decided to have Nunez begin the campaign in the minors. The right-hander didn't pitch in a spring game until March 17 as he continued to recover from a flexor strain that ended his season in July of last year. It's likely that Nunez will be back up with the big club after having more time to ramp up in the minors.

Mets' Dedniel Nunez: Sharp in spring debut
Dedniel Nunez struck out one in a scoreless inning during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.The right-hander was brought along slowly in camp after arm trouble derailed his second half in 2024, but Nunez looked just about ready for Opening Day in his first game action of the spring Monday. He needed just 11 pitches (eight strikes) to breeze through some Tampa Bay minor-league hitters in the seventh inning, and per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Nunez topped out at 98 mph with his fastball. "I was very grateful to get back out there," Nunez said through an interpreter after the game. "I feel healthy, I feel strong. I'm trying to avoid having any setbacks... I'm just trying to continue to push forward." Nunez was a breakout bullpen star in the first half of last season, and he finished the campaign with a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB through his first 35 big-league innings. If he can stay on the mound, the 28-year-old could be a key setup man for Edwin Diaz in 2025.
