Mets reliever A.J. Minter exited the game against the Nationals due to triceps soreness, with manager Carlos Mendoza indicating that Minter will undergo imaging and likely face an injured list stint. Minter, who signed a notable two-year, $22MM contract, has been a key contributor with a 1.69 ERA in 2025, but his history of injuries raises concerns, especially for a bullpen that ranks highly in MLB. His absence could significantly impact the Mets’ relief strength, particularly against left-handed batters, as he was one of only two healthy left-handed relievers on the roster.
