Before the Mets’ game against the Astros, manager Carlos Mendoza discussed players during spring training, highlighting Clay Holmes as a promising second-year starter with a 2.84 ERA in camp. Carson Benge, a young prospect, has impressed with a .370 batting average and strong defensive skills, putting him in contention for the starting right fielder position. Additionally, shortstop Francisco Lindor is considered “day-to-day” after recent minor league games but remains on track for Opening Day.
