The Mets have covered the injuries and the innings because their bullpen, particularly their multi-inning options, has been excellent.

The New York Mets got a dose of promising news regarding their 2025 starting rotation on Wednesday. Manager Carlos Mendoza revealed that offseason acquisition Frankie Montas has begun a throwing program as he continues his recovery from a strained right lat.

Manaea was feeling discomfort during a long toss session in his rehab and underwent an MRI. Once he begins throwing again, he’ll need a full spring training buildup. That could take six weeks. Manaea returned to the Mets this offseason on a three-year, $75 million contract.
