Solometo recently underwent left shoulder labrum surgery and is expected to be sidelined until at least April 2027, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

The lanky southpaw has logged 12.2 innings since 2024 and has struggled to recapture his peak prospect form from 2022 and 2023. Solometo, who turns 24 in December, has spent time at Double-A in each of the past three seasons.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Jebb on the 60-day injured list May 1 after he had surgery to repair a left thumb fracture and ligament damage, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

Jebb last played April 26 and will require 12 weeks to recover, per the report. A second baseman turned center fielder, Jebb showed middling production across 136 career games at Double-A but hit .375 with two home runs and two steals in his first six games at Triple-A prior to suffering the injury.

Chace (elbow) is throwing bullpens and should return in the second half of the 2026 season, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

Chace needed Tommy John surgery in May 2025 and is progressing in his recovery. Already on the 40-man roster, Chace has logged a 3.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB in 36.1 innings across 10 career starts at Double-A.

The Mets reinstated Alvarez (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. He's starting behind the plate and batting ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals.

The 24-year-old was expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in mid-May, but he beat that initial recovery timeline by a mile and is back with the Mets less than one month later. Alvarez went 3-for-13 with a walk and two doubles during a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. Prior to the injury, the young catcher had a .241/.317/.393 slash line with four home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored through 37 games this season.

The Brewers agreed to a seven-year, $31 million contract extension with Lara on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The deal includes three club options, potentially locking Lara up through the 2035 season, and it can max out at $79 million. It's another pre-arbitration contract extension completed by the Brewers after they inked Cooper Pratt to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract extension in April. Lara entered the 2026 season without much hype but has particularly broken through from a power perspective, slashing .338/.447/.500 with seven home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 39:32 BB:K over 56 games with Triple-A Nashville. The 21-year-old will need to be added to the 40-man roster once the extension is official, which clears a potential hurdle to Lara being promoted to the majors. Lara could take over as the Brewers' primary center fielder at some point this summer.

Asigen is dealing with a hamstring injury, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

He has yet to play in a Dominican Summer League game, although that season began June 1, so there is still time for him to make his pro debut in 2026. Asigen is one of the top prospects from this year's international signing class.

Watson is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Binghamton with an oblique injury, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

Watson left his May 5 start with the injury after recording two outs (zero strikeouts) and surrendering four earned runs. The 23-year-old righty has an 8.55 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in 20 innings across six starts this season.

Senga (spine) will not make his scheduled rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Senga had been slated for his fourth rehab outing as he works his way back from lumbar spine inflammation, but now he has a new injury to deal with. The Mets have not revealed a timeline for when Senga might be ready to pitch again, but this is likely a significant setback. Senga has been shelved since late April.

Single-A Jupiter placed Shepardson on the 60-day injured list April 8 after he needed UCL surgery, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.

Per the report, Shepardson was impressing during spring training before suffering the injury. He will miss all of 2026 and much of 2027 recovering from the procedure. The 20-year-old righty logged a 4.23 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in 55.1 innings in the lower levels in 2025.

George hasn't played for Double-A Tulsa since suffering an injury to his left patellar tendon in a May 25 game versus Northwest Arkansas, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Shortly after crossing home plate to score a run in the game, George sustained the injury while jumping out of the way to avoid Tulsa's bat dog, who ran on to the field to retrieve the bat. Fortunately for George, an MRI revealed no ligament damage to his knee, and the Dodgers are optimistic that he'll avoid surgery. Even so, George still appears to be headed for an extended absence due to the knee injury, especially as a player heavily reliant on speed. Over 43 games with Tulsa this season, the 21-year-old outfielder has slashed .333/.417/.397 with 26 stolen bases in 29 attempts across 200 plate appearances.
