Brooks Raley RP | NYM
Mets' Brooks Raley: Nabs seventh hold
Raley gave up a run on a hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning Monday but still recorded his seventh hold of the season in an extra-innings win over the Nationals.
Entering the game to begin the seventh inning with the Mets ahead 5-3, Raley gave up a leadoff double to James Wood and then walked the next two batters to load the bases, but the damage ended up being limited to a CJ Abrams sacrifice fly. Raley's seven holds leads the team, and he's delivered a strong 1.47 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 18.1 innings this season.

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Pops fifth homer
Edwards went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's win over Atlanta.
The second baseman launched a solo shot in the fifth inning off Aaron Bummer, going back-to-back with Javier Sanoja to break open the game. It was Edwards' fifth homer of the season -- he came into 2026 with only four in just over 1,000 big-league plate appearances -- and four of them have come in May, a month in which he's slashing .297/.357/.547 over 17 games with two steals, nine RBI and 13 runs.

Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA
Marlins' Javier Sanoja: First homer of year a grand slam
Sanoja went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's rout of Atlanta.
The light-hitting utility player took Aaron Bummer deep in the fifth inning, the biggest blow in a 12-0 laugher. It was Sanoja's first homer of the season, and his third extra-base hit in his last two starts while racking up eight of his 18 RBI on the season during those contests. Despite the sudden power surge, Sanoja is slashing a tepid .260/.317/.354 through 104 plate appearances with two steals and five runs. Most of his playing time this season has come at third base, but the 23-year-old has also seen action at second base, shortstop, left field and center field.

James Wood RF | WAS
Nationals' James Wood: Three hits in loss Monday
Wood went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored, a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Mets.
Wood delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the 12th inning, but by that time, the game was already out of reach for the Nationals. The star outfielder notched his 13th double and 30th RBI of the season in this loss, and he also extended his hitting streak to four games. He's hitting .274 with an .851 OPS in 16 games since the beginning of May, tallying two homers, six RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases over that stretch.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Mets' Bo Bichette: Launches homer Monday
Bichette went 3-for-6 with a home run, two additional RBI, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's extra-innings win over Washington.
Bichette launched a solo homer -- his third of the year and first since April 28 -- in the seventh inning off reliever Mitchell Parker, but he would contribute in other areas as well. Bichette has endured a tough season in 2026 and is hitting just .197 with a .532 OPS since the beginning of May. However, he's reached base safely in all but one of his last seven contests, so he might be showing early signs of a turnaround.

Carson Benge RF | NYM
Mets' Carson Benge: Loaded line Monday
Benge went 3-for-6 with a double, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Monday's extra-innings win over the Nationals.
Benge was one of six New York players who recorded multi-hit performances in this win, a game in which the Mets scored 10 runs in the 12th inning to pull away for good. Benge has been on a tear of late and has five multi-hit performances over his last seven contests, a stretch in which he's hitting .412 with a .915 OPS, two doubles, six RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases. He should continue to hit near the top of the Mets' order as long as he keeps seeing the ball this well.

Nick Morabito LF | NYM
Mets' Nick Morabito: Heading to big leagues
The Mets recalled Morabito from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Morabito, 23, has slashed .253/.364/.390 with four home runs and 14 stolen bases across 41 contests with Syracuse this season. He can handle all three outfield spots and is expected to garner some starts against left-handed pitching.

Jake Irvin SP | WAS
Nationals' Jake Irvin: Fans six in no-decision
Irvin didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Mets. He allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out six across four innings.
Irvin gave up a solo shot to Brett Baty in the top of the fourth inning, but the other two runs he allowed were unearned due to errors from James Wood and Luis Garcia, respectively. Irvin has pitched more than five innings just once all season long, and he hasn't secured a win since doing so in his season debut back on March 29. Irvin owns a 5.59 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP across 46.2 innings through 10 starts this season, and he's scheduled to make his next start over the weekend against Atlanta on the road in what projects as another challenging matchup.

Paxton Schultz RP | WAS
Nationals' Paxton Schultz: Woeful outing Monday
Schultz (0-1) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Mets after allowing seven runs (six earned) on five hits and a walk over one-third of an inning.
Schultz entered the game in the 11th inning but couldn't get the job done. Even though he retired the first batter he faced on a sac bunt, Schultz allowed six straight baserunners before departing the contest. The game was so out of reach by the time he was lifted that manager Blake Butera decided to send third baseman Jorbit Vivas to pitch the rest of the way instead of deploying another arm out of the bullpen. Schultz had given up just five earned runs in his previous 13 appearances (17.2 innings) this season, but this was likely a one-off, disastrous outing for the young right-hander.

Huascar Brazoban RP | NYM
Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Earns win Monday
Brazoban (3-1) earned the win in extra innings Monday against the Nationals after allowing an unearned run on two hits and two walks across two innings. He struck out one.
Brazoban faced a bases-loaded jam with one out in the 10th inning but escaped it unscathed. Even though he allowed a run in the 11th frame, he benefited from the fact that the Mets scored 10 runs in the 12th inning to earn his third win of the season. The run he allowed was unearned, giving him three straight outings without an earned run. Brazoban has been used as an opener at times, but for the most part, he holds a steady role out of the Mets' bullpen. The veteran hurler is enjoying a career-best season thus far, posting a 1.85 ERA and 0.99 WHIP through 20 appearances and 24.1 innings in 2026.
