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.'

Mariners Game #55: 5/29/25, WAS at SEA
Lineups: This may not be the facing-a-lefty lineup one might expect given neutral ground, but it is certainly one we have been conditioned to expect this season. Nationals lineup! News: Casey Lawrence is back for another stint with the big-league club, replacing Blas Castaño, who made his big-league debut in last night's stinker. Lawrence will inevitably be sent down again when the team reinstates Bryce Miller, who is slated to pitch Friday. Advertisement Also in rehabbing pitcher news, Logan Gilbert is making a rehab start tonight in Tacoma. Game time is 7:05 PT and you can watch on the MiLB TV app, or follow along in the First Pitch app. In more injury news, Luke Raley was at the ballpark today taking some swings off the machine. He said he wasn't swinging max effort, but that didn't stop him from sending a few over the fence during his power round of BP. Raley says he's feeling fine as he continues to work back, just dealing with normal soreness after exertion. Obliques are tricky injuries to rehab and Raley said it's the first time he's dealt with this kind of injury, so he's trying to be really careful and not overdo it effort-wise (always a challenge for the all-out Raley), but if he feels good after today there's a possibility he could take some swings in Tacoma this weekend. Captain's Log: Dan Wilson on Emerson Hancock's spike in velocity, fourth-highest increase in MLB this season: Advertisement 'That's been a really encouraging sign for him. Some of that I think you can attribute to his mentality and his ability to attack hitters. We talk a lot about attacking the zone, but he's taken that to the next level. And sometimes that mental approach can help with your stuff as well. I think he's just in a really good spot, physically and mentally, and continues to throw the ball well for us, and the confidence has really grown.'

With lefty A.J. Minter mulling season-ending surgery, Mets re-sign Brooks Raley to $1.85M deal
Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — With reliever A.J. Minter sidelined long term, the New York Mets re-signed fellow left-hander Brooks Raley to a one-year contract Tuesday that guarantees $1.85 million. Raley is throwing bullpens as he recovers from elbow surgery last May, but it's unclear when he could be ready to join the bullpen. He was placed on the 15-day injured list. Minter is on the IL with a left lat strain after getting hurt Saturday in Washington. He underwent an MRI on Sunday, and season-ending surgery is a possibility. 'What we know right now is we're dealing with a pretty significant injury here," manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'That's why we're providing him with all the information, so he makes the right decision." Mendoza said Minter has received multiple opinions and was mulling a course of action, with a decision expected in 'probably another day or two.' A treatment program of rest and rehabilitation, rather than surgery, remains an option — but the 31-year-old pitcher will be unavailable for an extended period regardless. It's a significant setback for New York's bullpen, a huge reason the Mets entered Tuesday night's series opener against Arizona with the best record in the majors at 20-9. Minter joined the Mets as a free agent in January, leaving the NL East rival Atlanta Braves for a $22 million, two-year contract that includes an $11 million player option for 2026. He has a 1.64 ERA and seven holds in 13 appearances as the top left-handed setup man for closer Edwin Diaz. Minter has struck out 14 and walked five in 11 innings. 'It's a big blow, I'm not going to lie. Not only because of his ability to throw high leverage, but his ability to get lefties and righties," Mendoza said. "But guys will step up. Guys will continue to get opportunities, and we've got to keep going. It sucks for him, especially going down this early.' A seven-year veteran, Raley made eight appearances for the Mets last season before getting hurt, the last on April 19, and then became a free agent in November. He was 1-2 with a 2.80 ERA and three saves in 66 outings for New York in 2023. Raley, who turns 37 in late June, is 6-10 with a 4.04 ERA and 12 saves with the Chicago Cubs (2012-13), Cincinnati (2020), Houston (2020-21), Tampa Bay (2022) and the Mets (2023-24). He pitched in South Korea from 2015-19. 'He's going to go down to Florida and continue to throw his bullpens, so hopefully in the next couple of weeks he starts facing batters, and then we'll go from there," Mendoza said. Raley gets a $1.5 million salary this year. His deal includes a $4.75 million team option for 2026 with a $350,000 buyout. He would get a $250,000 bonus if added to the active major league roster this year and could earn $900,000 more in performance bonuses for games as a pitcher: $125,000 each for 10, 15 and 20, and $175,000 apiece for 25, 30 and 35. Raley could earn $1.75 million in performance bonuses in 2026 for games as a pitcher: $250,000 each for 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and 65. New York also transferred left-hander Sean Manaea to the 60-day IL, recalled right-hander Kevin Herget from Triple-A Syracuse and designated right-hander Jose Urena for assignment. Ureña threw 68 pitches over the final three innings Monday at Washington to get the save in a 19-5 victory. He allowed five runs and seven hits with one walks and three strikeouts. Mendoza said left-hander Brandon Waddell will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to pitch some part of Wednesday night's game against the Diamondbacks as the Mets give Kodai Senga his customary fifth day of rest. Left fielder Brandon Nimmo was out of the starting lineup Tuesday night because he was feeling ill after catching a bug that's been going around the Mets' clubhouse. 'I think last night and this morning, that's when it got him pretty good,' Mendoza said. Nimmo matched a franchise record Monday with nine RBIs, including a grand slam and a three-run homer against the Nationals. 'I'm not resting Brandon — especially after that game last night,' Mendoza said with a smile. 'He's just sick today. He's in rough shape right now. We've got a lot of guys dealing with this flu, whatever you want to call it, and fever, pretty weak. So he's getting an IV right now and hopefully he's a player for us at some point today. But we've got to give him a couple hours.' ___ AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum contributed to this report. ___ AP MLB: recommended

Jorge Polanco blasts two homers as Seattle Mariners rout Miami Marlins
Jorge Polanco hit two home runs and Luis Castillo allowed one hit over six scoreless innings as the Seattle Mariners clobbered the visiting Miami Marlins 14-0 Saturday night in an interleague game. Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Garver also homered and rookie Ben Williamson drove in four runs for the Mariners, who won for the third time in their past four games and improved to 12-5 over their past 17 to move into a first-place tie with Texas atop the American League West. The only hit Castillo (3-2) allowed was a line-drive single to right field by Dane Myers leading off the third. Castillo, a right-hander, walked two and struck out five. Rodriguez led off the bottom of the first by hitting Connor Gillispie's initial pitch of the game high off the left-field foul pole, a blast estimated at 417 feet. Two pitches later, Polanco homered to right. The Mariners didn't stop there, as Cal Raleigh walked and, an out later, Luke Raley reached on a bunt single down the third-base line. A walk to Rowdy Tellez loaded the bases and Williamson lined a two-run double down the left-field line. Miles Mastrobuoni hit a two-run double to right to make it 6-0. Seattle added a run in the second as Polanco drew a leadoff walk and Raleigh hit a ground-rule double down the right-field line. Raley's sacrifice fly extended the lead to 7-0. Gillispie (0-3) lasted just two innings, giving up seven runs on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts. The Mariners scored three more times in the fourth to reach double-digits. With one out, Polanco homered to right off reliever George Soriano. Walks to Raleigh and Randy Arozarena and a single by Raley loaded the bases for Rowdy Tellez, who was hit by a pitch from Anthony Veneziano to bring home a run. Williamson grounded into a forceout to make it 10-0. Seattle scored in the sixth as Raley, Donovan Solano and Williamson singled with two outs. The Marlins sent position player Javier Sanoja to the mound in the seventh. He allowed a leadoff single to J.P. Crawford and, two outs later, Garver went deep to left. Seattle tallied once more off Sanoja in the eighth. Raley drew a leadoff walk, took second on a groundout and scored on Mastrobuoni's single to center. The Mariners' Troy Taylor, Casey Legumina and Tayler Saucedo each allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of relief to complete the four-hit shutout.
