Try it free LOS ANGELES — The Mets are looking toward the All-Star break for a key left-handed reliever's possible return. Brooks Raley, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, has begun facing hitters in live batting practice, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Advertisement The Mets are hopeful that Raley will be in position to begin a minor league rehab assignment late this month. Raley, 36, returned to the Mets in April on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million that contains a club option for 2026. Raley's surgery for ligament damage and bone spurs in his left elbow occurred last May. Brooks Raley throws a pitch during a Mets game in April 2024. Jason Szenes for the NY Post Advertisement The Mets this year have lost two lefty relievers — A.J. Minter and Danny Young — to season-ending surgery. Jose Castillo, who was acquired last month after he was designated for assignment by Arizona, is the only remaining lefty reliever on the 26-man roster. Raley had a strong season for the Mets in 2023, when he pitched to a 2.80 ERA in 66 appearances. Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS Brooks Raley prepares to throw a pitch during a Mets game in April 2024. Bill Kostroun for the NY Post Raley appeared in only eight games for the club last season (he didn't surrender an earned run) before he was sidelined with elbow discomfort. That Raley is a reliever will considerably shorten his rehab stint once he progresses to pitching in minor league games. Advertisement But Raley, as is the protocol for a pitcher returning from Tommy John surgery, will need 10-12 sessions facing hitters in live batting practice before he's considered for that next step. Raley has thrown five such sessions. Even so, team brass views the All-Star break as a realistic possibility for Raley. Sean Manaea threw 29 pitches in a live batting practice session, after which Mendoza didn't rule out the possibility the left-hander's next step would be a minor league rehab assignment. Manaea is rehabbing from an oblique strain that has kept him sidelined since spring training. Advertisement Mendoza offered his thoughts pregame on the Mets returning to Dodger Stadium for the first time since their loss in Game 6 of the NLCS last October. 'It's a different feeling, walking in this place and knowing this is where your season ended,' Mendoza said. 'It's kind of like a sour taste, but also understanding that after everything we went through as a team, when nobody thought anything about this team and we ended up facing the team that ended up winning the World Series. 'It's a different feeling this year, understanding that they are really good again and we're also good. I think it's mixed feelings coming here, but we're not trying to look back.'

Launch of ride program to expand youth access through free bus program
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry announced the launch of 'My Summer Ride,' a new pilot initiative offering free METS bus service for youth across the city this summer. Officials say the program will run from June 2 through August 2, and is open to all youth aged 18 and under, as well as students over 18 who are still enrolled in high school. As part of the city's 'Safe Summer' initiative, 'My Summer Ride' was created to reduce transportation barriers that can prevent young people from accessing jobs, summer programs, libraries, parks and other 'vital community resources.' 'This program is about more than just transportation,' Mayor Stephanie Terry said. 'My Summer Ride is about expanding opportunity. It's about making sure every young person in our city can get to a job, a summer camp, or the library – regardless of whether they have a car or a ride. We're supporting working families, fostering youth independence, and building the next generation of METS riders.' Insurance company to sponsor pool event for first 400 kids Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry says to increase accessibility, the city will work with local youth-serving organizations to help distribute METS bus passes. Those passes will be available for pick-up at the CK Newsome Center, METS Station and all public city pools. Students who may appear older than 18 should be prepared to show school ID or a report card when picking up their bus passes. Officials say participants in My Summer Ride can use METS fixed-route and METS Mobility services at no cost. The free rides are available for any purpose, not just for school-related activities. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Napoleon Dynamite Live! 20th Anniversary Celebration coming to Evansville City officials say by offering this program, the city of Evansville is advancing several of Mayor Terry's core priorities: Youth Development – helping young people access enrichment, education and employment. Public Safety – ensuring safe, reliable transportation options. Economic Development – reducing transportation barriers for youth entering the workforce. 'My administration is committed to building a city where every child – no matter their zip code – has access to opportunity,' Mayor Terry added. 'My Summer Ride is a step toward that vision.' Officials say full program details are available by calling METS at 812-435-6166 or asking any bus operator. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tim Vizer-Imagn Images Advertisement Soto had a look of disbelief as he reached first base, as it could have been an early signature moment for him with his new club. The ball was hit 105.9 mph and traveled 108 feet, according to MLB, but just not far enough to put runs on the board as the Mets tried to avoid a doubleheader sweep.
