Mets right-hander Clay Holmes suffered a fractured right fibula during a loss to the Yankees, with manager Carlos Mendoza indicating he will be out for an extended period. Holmes, who has a solid 2.39 ERA this season, sustained the injury in the 4th inning but remained in the game until 4 1/3 innings. This loss exacerbates the Mets’ struggles, as they have already faced rotation injuries and poor offensive performance. In Holmes’ absence, the Mets may utilize Sean Manaea or promote Jonah Tong from the minors to fill the gap in their starting lineup.
