On Friday, the New York Mets lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-5, in a nearly six-hour game impacted by a rain delay and extra innings following a ninth-inning rally. Outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Mark Vientos are both day-to-day due to neck stiffness and abdominal soreness, respectively, while manager Carlos Mendoza provided positive updates on pitchers Paul Blackburn and Frankie Montas, who are nearing returns. Additionally, the Mets released reliever Sean Reid-Foley and former Met Jake Diekman announced his retirement after a 13-year career.
