The New York Mets have informed veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel that he will not make the Opening Day roster, although he is considering remaining with the organization. Kimbrel, 37, signed a minor-league deal in January and pitched in six spring training games. Additionally, outfielder Mike Tauchman will miss Opening Day due to a torn meniscus, affecting his bid for a starting role in right field, while Carson Benge may benefit from this opportunity. The Mets’ season opener is against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
