Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Set for batting practice Saturday
Rotowire
Alvarez (thumb) is set to participate in batting practice Saturday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Alvarez landed on the 10-day IL after tearing the UCL in his left thumb while rounding the bases against the Dodgers on April 19. His batting practice Saturday will mark the first time Alvarez has picked up a bat since undergoing surgery for the UCL tear, and the 22-year-old catcher is on track for a return in mid-to-late June, barring any setbacks. Before the injury, Alvarez was slashing .236/.288/.364 with one home run and eight RBI over 59 plate appearances.

Mets' Kodai Senga: Shut down after cortisone injection
Rotowire
Senga (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing for three-to-five days after he received a cortisone shot Friday for inflammation in his triceps, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old was scratched from a bullpen session last weekend due to triceps tightness, and he underwent an MRI this week that revealed the inflammation. Senga appeared to be close to beginning a rehab assignment while coming back from a shoulder capsule strain, but the triceps issue has halted his progress and further clouds his return timeline.

Mets' Ty Adco*ck: Claimed by Mets
Rotowire
The Mets claimed Adco*ck off waivers from the Tigers on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.
Adco*ck was DFA'd by the Tigers on Saturday, but he will reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster as he moves to New York. The 27-year-old righty has allowed eight earned runs across 8.1 innings between the Mariners' and Tigers' Triple-A affiliates, and a significant turnaround would likely be necessary before Adco*ck receives a call-up to the majors.

Mets' Reed Garrett: Stuck with first loss
Rotowire
Garrett (5-1) took the loss Wednesday against Cleveland, allowing a run on two hits and a walk in one inning. He struck out two.
After entering with the game tied 3-3 in the seventh inning, Garrett allowed a leadoff single to David Fry, who advanced to second on a wild pitch before eventually scoring on a Johnathan Rodriguez base hit. It's the first loss of the year for the 31-year-old Garrett -- he's allowed just two earned runs in his last 13.1 innings. Despite Wednesday's setback, Garrett's emerged as a top option in the Mets' bullpen and could see the occasional save chance with Edwin Diaz temporarily shifting to a lower-leverage role. Overall, Garrett sports a 1.04 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP while posting a stellar 14.9 K/9 across 26 innings.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers in loss
Rotowire
Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.
Alonso opened the scoring in the first inning, sending a fastball from Triston McKenzie into the right-field seats for his 11th homer of the year. The 29-year-old Alonso has put together an eight-game hitting streak while going 18-for-59 (.305) with three homers and a .936 OPS in his last 14 contests. He's now slashing .236/.313/.466 with 24 RBI and 28 runs scored through 214 plate appearances this season.

Bader extended the Mets lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Triston McKenzie, his second long ball of the year and first since April 17. Bader's been swinging the bat well, going 10-for-30 with six RBI in his last eight games. He's slashing .281/.324/.360 with 17 runs scored, 13 RBI and seven stolen bases across 42 games as the Mets' primary center fielder this season.

Mets' Jose Quintana: Solid in no-decision
Rotowire
Quintana did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Guardians, allowing three runs on four hits over six innings. He struck out four.
Quintana was excellent for most of the day Wednesday, allowing just one hit through his first five scoreless innings. However, after allowing a pair of hits in the sixth, Quintana surrendered a two-out, three-run homer to Andres Gimenez that tied the game 3-3, leaving the southpaw with a no-decision. It's just the second quality start for Quintana in 10 outings this season though he's looked better of late, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks in his last two starts (11.1 innings). He'll carry a 5.13 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB into his next start, currently scheduled for early next week against the Dodgers.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Hoping to take BP soon
Rotowire
The Mets are aiming for Alvarez (thumb) to begin taking batting practice during their upcoming homestand, which begins Friday and runs through June 2, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
It's been a month since Alvarez had surgery to address a torn UCL in his left thumb, and he's almost ready to pick up a bat as he advances his rehab. The catcher remains on track to return from the 10-day injured list in mid-to-late June.

Mets' Tomas Nido: Resting Wednesday
Rotowire
Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
With the Mets wrapping up their series in Cleveland with a day game, Nido will receive a breather after catching eight innings of Tuesday's 7-6 loss. Omar Narvaez will spell Nido behind the plate Wednesday.

Mets' Brett Baty: Sitting against right-hander again
Rotowire
Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The lefty-hitting Baty is on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Triston McKenzie), likely signaling that he's at least temporarily lost hold of his role as the Mets' preferred third baseman. Though he's drawn positive reviews for his work defensively this season, Baty has failed to take a notable step forward at the plate, as he's posted a .611 OPS through 150 plate appearances. Baty has performed especially poorly over the past three weeks, going just 5-for-40 with 19 strikeouts against three walks across a stretch of 13 games. Mark Vientos looks like he'll get an extended look at the hot corner as the Mets look to bolster their slumping offense.

Mets' Starling Marte: Sitting out Wednesday
Rotowire
Marte isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Marte slugged a home run in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Cleveland, but he'll get a breather for the Wednesday afternoon tilt. DJ Stewart will fill in in right field for Marte.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Drawing another start at third base
Rotowire
Vientos will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Vientos earned another start at the hot corner after homering and doubling in Tuesday's loss to the Guardians. Both starts have come against right-handed pitching, which is notable since he and the left-handed-hitting Brett Baty had been in a strict platoon. Vientos is slashing .360/.407/.720 in eight games with the Mets this season.

Mets' Jeff McNeil: Cranks second homer
Rotowire
McNeil went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Guardians.
McNeil poked a one-out double in the fifth inning and came around to score on a Francisco Lindor single. He then cut the Mets' deficit to 5-4 with a two-run homer off left-hander Sam Hentges, his second of the year. It's been a tough start to the year for McNeil, though he's shown signs of life of late, going 6-for-19 with no strikeouts in his last five games. Overall, the 32-year-old second baseman is slashing .240/.314/.329 with 18 runs scored, 12 RBI and three steals across 186 plate appearances this season.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Home run, double vs. Guardians
Rotowire
Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Cleveland.
Vientos got the Mets on the board in the fifth inning with a 430-foot bomb off Xzavion Curry before doubling in the sixth and scoring a second run on a Jeff McNeil homer. The 24-year-old Vientos is now 6-for-18 with four extra-base hits in five games since he was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. With Brett Baty struggling to a .180/.255/.320 slash line in May, Vientos could be in line for more playing time at the hot corner.

Mets' Adrian Houser: Struggles in return to rotation
Rotowire
Houser (0-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing six runs on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
Houser looked to be rolling early, as he retired the first seven batters faced. However, he allowed three runs on three doubles in the third inning before Jose Ramirez launched a two-run home run in the fifth, leaving Houser with his fourth loss. The 31-year-old right-hander has struggled to a 7.88 ERA with a 1.78 WHIP and 21:24 K:BB through his first 37.2 innings with New York. If the Mets return to a five-man rotation, Houser will likely head back to the bullpen.
