The New York Mets have one of the best records in baseball at 24-14, but they've still dealt with adversity in the young 2025 season. One of their biggest issues has been injuries.

The Mets are still without infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee), right-handed pitcher Frankie Montas (lat), left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea (oblique), outfielder Jesse Winker (oblique), left-handed pitcher A.J. Minter (lat), left-handed pitcher Danny Young (elbow), right-handed pitcher Paul Blackburn (knee), outfielder Jose Siri (tibia), and others, via MLB.com.

Minter was having one of the best seasons of his career before he went down, notching a 1.64 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 13 games. However, the 31-year-old gave an unfortunate update before the Mets' matchup with the Chicago Cubs on Friday, via SNY.
