Mets' A.J. Minter out for season, set to undergo lat surgery
Share this @internewscast.com

PHOENIX — A.J. Minter’s season is over after only 13 appearances for the Mets.

The left-handed pitcher is set to have surgery next Monday for a torn lat muscle, as announced by manager Carlos Mendoza, following a week of considering his available options.

Minter walked off the mound on April 26 in Washington in discomfort and was subsequently placed on the injured list.

The Mets signed the veteran last offseason to a two-year contract worth $22 million that contains an opt-out after this season.

Minter was coming off hip surgery from last summer with the Braves.

Danny Young, another left-handed reliever from the Mets’ Opening Day roster, has chosen to undergo Tommy John surgery due to a recent diagnosis of ligament damage in his elbow.


Brett Baty’s redirect to Triple-A Syracuse was brief.

Just under two weeks after being sent down by the Mets to make room for Jeff McNeil on the roster, the 25-year-old infielder made a comeback on Monday to offer the team a left-handed batting option.



The opening was provided by Jesse Winker, who was placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain. Winker left Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals with discomfort in the oblique after unleashing a throw to the plate from left field.

Winker was diagnosed with a Grade 2 oblique strain, according to Mendoza, and will need six to eight weeks before he can return.

Baty had his own physical issue to deal with in recent days: a sore right big toe that kept him sidelined from Syracuse’s lineup since Thursday. Baty was available off the bench as the Mets began a three-game series against the Diamondbacks.

Baty struggled for most of his first stint with the Mets this season before showing improvement in his final week. Overall, he entered play on Monday with a .204/.246/.352 slash line with one homer and four RBIs.


Jacob Reimer, a 21-year-old third baseman, was named South Atlantic League Player of the Month after producing a .318/.383/.659 slash line with five homers and 21 RBIs for Single-A Brooklyn in April.

Zach Thornton, a 23-year-old left-hander, was named South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month after going 3-0 with a 0.44 ERA in four starts for Brooklyn.
