Goodman went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Marlins.

Goodman had a quiet road trip through mid-September, going only 3-for-23 across a seven-game span ending Sept. 14. However, he's gotten back on track since returning home, going 4-for-9 with a double and a run scored across two games. Goodman has had an impressive breakout season and is hitting well to close things out, blasting four home runs with 11 RBI and seven runs scored while hitting .321 across 14 games in September.

Alvarez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.

Alvarez started each of the previous five games at catcher, so he'll receive a well-earned day off during Thursday's matinee. Luis Torrens will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Mets.

Garrett was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow sprain.

The move is retroactive to Sept. 15, but it nonetheless means the end of Garrett's regular season. He has logged an 8.25 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 12 innings since the beginning of August.

Manaea was placed on the paternity list Thursday.

Manaea and Clay Holmes had a successful piggyback start Tuesday, with Holmes pitching the first four innings and Manaea logging the final five frames en route to picking up the win. The 6-foot-5 lefty will spend a few days with his family before following the same script with Holmes on Sunday against the Nationals.

Moniak went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Marlins.

Moniak led off the ninth inning with a home run, marking his third straight start with a long ball. He also has nine RBI and four runs scored in that span. Moniak has taken advantage of Coors Field to boost his average, though he still has an impressive .197 ISO across 196 plate appearances on the road.

Diaz went 1-for-3 with two RBI on Wednesday against the Rangers.

Diaz delivered a two-run single in the first inning to start the scoring for Houston. He's been excellent at the plate in his last 10 games, hitting .351 with one home run, 12 RBI and four runs scored.

Correa went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

Correa singled in each of his first two plate appearances and came around to score on each occasion. He has at least one hit in 14 of his 16 starts in September, hitting .294 with three homers, six RBI and 10 runs scored in that span.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

Pena had an excellent series against the Rangers, going 7-for-11 with seven runs scored, two RBI and two doubles across three games. He also has a six-game hitting streak, solidifying his breakout season. Pena has maintained an .838 OPS across 485 plate appearances, with his previous career high being .715.

Flaherty (8-14) allowed one run on three hits across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Guardians. He walked four and struck out four.

Flaherty mostly pitched well, though he struggled a bit with command and also got zero run support in a 4-0 win for the Guardians. The veteran righty has been up-and-down all season, while his 14 losses are twice as many as he had in 2024 and easily a new career high. Flaherty has at least looked fairly sharp over his last two outings, allowing just one run across 10 innings while striking out 11. He'll look to carry some momentum into his next trip to the mound, which is currently scheduled for Tuesday against this same Cleveland squad.

Diaz went 2-for-2 with an RBI and two walks Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Diaz continued his excellent September by tallying his third consecutive multi-hit game. Across 15 games in the month, Diaz has hit .429 with a .515 on-base percentage while tallying two homers, seven RBI and 11 runs scored. He's also had an excellent season overall, posting career-high marks in home runs (24) and RBI (81).
