It’s a tough stretch.

The Mets built a 5.5 game lead over the Phillies in the NL East before a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-truth-bomb-snap-7-game-losing-streak">seven-game losing streak</a> kicked off a multi-week slump. After back-to-back blowout losses to the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York needed to talk about it.</p><p>The Mets held a players’ only meeting following Saturday’s 9-2 defeat in Pittsburgh and Juan Soto is reportedly one of the team members <a href="https://x.com/NYPost_Mets/status/1939133134634963104" rel="noopener">who spoke</a>, per the New York Post’s Mike Puma. Soto kept his message simple, saying, “Keep going. Believe in it.”</p><h2><b>As Juan Soto heats up, the Mets cool down</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Juan-Soto-2-1.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Soto has been one of the Mets’ few bright spots during a disastrous stretch. The team has gone just 3-12 since taking a 5.5 game lead in the division on June 12. But Soto hasn’t been the problem.</p><p>The Mets’ $765 million man had a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-truth-bomb-slow-start-tenure-new-york">difficult time adjusting to his new team</a>, causing an alarmingly slow start. Soto slashed .229/.355/.400 with 8 home runs 26 RBI and 34 runs scored over his first 56 games with the Mets.</p><p>But the four-time All-Star has looked like a completely different player in June. Or, he stopped looking like a completely different player.</p><p>Either way, over his last 26 games Soto is slashing a blistering .329/.491/.788 with 12 home runs, 20 RBI and 27 runs scored. Those stats would put him on a 162-game pace for 75 home runs, 125 RBI and 168 runs scored. So, yeah, he’s been hot in June.</p><p>While the Mets’ bats were silenced in Friday’s humbling loss to the Pirates, Soto prevented a shutout with his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-nails-pirates-20th-ny-home-run">20th home run of the season</a>. Two games earlier <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-rare-feat-last-done-1987-darryl-strawberry">Soto made Mets history</a>, joining Darryl Strawberry as the only players in franchise history with 10 homers and 20 walks in a calendar month.</p><p>In that same contest Soto also broke Jimmie Foxx’s record for the most multi-homer games before turning 27. Soto hit two bombs against the Braves, setting the all-time record with his 27th multi-homer game.</p><p>Despite Soto’s recent surge, the Mets are struggling. After two straight losses in Pittsburgh the team is 48-36 and half a game behind the Phillies in the NL East.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The injury occurred during the third inning of Thursday’s 4-0 shutout win over Atlanta at Citi Field, witnessed by a sellout crowd of 42,646.</p><p>Canning, 29, fell to the ground after stepping off the mound to field a routine ground ball. An MRI confirmed the rupture, and he underwent surgery the following day before being placed on the 60-day injured list. A typical recovery timeline for such an injury is at least nine months, though each case varies in severity.</p><p>Before the injury, Canning was delivering the best season of his six-year MLB career. Over 16 starts, he posted a 7-3 record, a 3.77 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, and recorded 70 strikeouts across 76 1/3 innings. His strong Spring Training performance earned him a spot in the Mets’ rotation after signing a one-year deal with the team in December.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/SNY_Mets/status/1938731619667329366" rel="noopener">In response to the injury</a>, Canning recently addressed Mets fans on social media.</p><p>“Unfortunate way to end my season but looking forward to the challenge of getting back better and stronger. Appreciate everyone reaching out. LFGM!!,” he wrote.</p><p>Canning had been a steady force for a Mets rotation already thinned by injuries. Tylor Megill (elbow), Kodai Senga (hamstring), and Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) are all sidelined. Manaea is expected to make a rehab appearance soon, with hopes he and Senga return around the July 14–17 All-Star break.</p><p>With Griffin Canning out, rookie Blade Tidwell was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Tidwell, ranked the Mets’ No. 14 prospect, has a 9.82 ERA in two big-league starts but has posted 73 strikeouts in 62 1/3 Triple-A innings this season.</p><p>The Mets are now exploring trade options to fill Canning’s void. Former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara has emerged as a possible target. Though his 2025 season ERA sits at 6.69, he has rebounded with a 2.74 ERA in June, making him a viable candidate as the July 30 trade deadline approaches.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has now become the face of the other New York team, for better or worse. Soto and Mets manager have had their differences, but he has returned to form.</p><p>He got New York on the board against the Pittsburgh Pirates in their series opener on Friday. In the top of the fourth inning, the All-Star outfielder took Mitch Keller deep on a <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1938750351483740309" rel="noopener">416ft. solo-shot</a>.

Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea are still out and are each a few weeks away from their returns. Griffin Canning tore his Achilles in his last start. In the meantime, New York hopes they can tread water in the National League East.</p><p>The Mets have a chance to put some distance between themselves and the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend. Keller and the Pirates have been struggling all season. On the other hand, the Atlanta Braves appear to have figured something out at the plate. If New York handles business, they could open up their lead over Philadelphia.</p><p>Regardless of their place in the standings, the Mets hope that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-shatters-mlb-record-vs-braves">Soto’s hot streak continues</a>. Mendoza does not need him to carry the load as much as he did with the Yankees last season, but it would be a major boost to the team’s offense.</p><p>Soto and the Mets enter trade season well on their way to a playoff berth. However, New York is under pressure to make a move before the deadline. After coming within two wins of a World Series appearance last season, the Mets are ready to get over the hump. If Soto continues to hit like he has been, it is tough to bet against New York.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Friday, the club received an update regarding Canning’s situation.</p><p>Reports indicate that the Mets are placing Canning on the 60-day injury list after it was confirmed he <a href="https://x.com/andrew_tred/status/1938682091014889937" rel="noopener">suffered a ruptured Achilles</a>, according to team beat reporter Andrew Tredinnick. The decision to place Griffin Canning on the IL was followed by a flurry of roster moves from New York.</p><p>“It is a ruptured Achilles for Griffin Canning. He has been placed on the 60-day IL. The Mets have reinstated Mark Vientos, called up RHP Blade Tidwell and LHP Colin Poche, and optioned Austin Warren and Jared Young.”</p><p>The Mets’ pitcher was pulled after 2.2 innings on Thursday night after he stepped awkwardly on the mound and fell to the ground. He was well on his way to a good game, too, as the 29-year-old starter recorded three strikeouts in his appearance. Having suffered a ruptured Achilles, it’s expected that Griffin Canning will miss the remainder of the season.</p><p>Before suffering the injury, Canning was experiencing a solid campaign for the Mets. Through 76.1 innings pitched this season, Griffin Canning recorded a 3.77 ERA and 1.376 WHIP while totaling 70 strikeouts. He also had a 7-3 win-loss record through 16 starts.</p><p>The Mets signed him last offseason to a one-year, $4.25 million contract. He was viewed as a solid piece for the back-end of the rotation in New York. He was providing solid consistency in his debut season with the club after playing for the Los Angeles Angels for five seasons.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-griffin-canning-suffers-injury-scare-vs-braves">Griffin Canning nurses his Achilles injury</a>, the Mets will continue playing the season. New York is slated to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, which is the first of a three-game series.

After a much-needed 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves Thursday night, Alonso echoed the confidence surging through the Mets clubhouse, even amid ongoing injury concerns.</p><p>Speaking in a postgame interview shared by the Mets’ official X account, formerly known as Twitter, Alonso didn’t hold back his optimism.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"There's a lot of belief in this group.

There’s a lot of talent in this room,” Alonso said, referencing the team’s resilience and their push through adversity.</p><p>Alonso’s words came <a href="https://x.com/Mets/status/1938438165267947932" rel="noopener">after a strong showing</a> by New York in the final two games of a critical four-game set against Atlanta. The Mets had lost 10 of their last 11 games before bouncing back with back-to-back victories, including Thursday night’s shutout win in Queens. The team is now 48-34, overtaking the Philadelphia Phillies by a half-game in the division.</p><p>However, the win came at a price. Starting pitcher Griffin Canning exited early after suffering a non-contact injury while breaking toward the third base line. The right-hander, who owns a 3.77 ERA this season, was visibly emotional as he was helped off the field. Manager Carlos Mendoza later shared that the team suspects an Achilles injury.</p><p>Still, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-shatters-mlb-record-vs-braves">the Mets clubhouse rallied</a>. Four relievers combined to pitch 6 1/3 scoreless innings, blanking a Braves offense that had been hot entering the series. Alonso himself recorded three hits and one RBI, setting the tone with his leadership both on and off the field.</p><p>With injuries to starters like Canning, Sean Manaea, and Kodai Senga, the bullpen has been forced to pick up the slack. The timing of Alonso’s vote of confidence is critical, especially as the trade deadline and All-Star break approach.</p><p>New York’s success this season has hinged on resilience. In 2024, they clawed back from 11 games under .500 to make a postseason push. Now, with stars like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor heating up, the Mets look poised to make another charge.</p><p>The tight race in the NL East standings adds urgency to every outing. Philadelphia remains just behind, and any slip-ups could cost the Mets their position.

In a video shared by SNY TV on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mendoza said the team fears the worst.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Carlos Mendoza provides an update on Griffin Canning:</p><p>"We think it's an Achilles.

He’s getting an MRI, we’re waiting for the results, but it looks like it’s an Achilles injury.”</p><p>The loss of Canning would be a <a href="https://x.com/SNYtv/status/1938416519047749991" rel="noopener">significant setback</a> for a Mets pitching staff already stretched thin. With Kodai Senga, Tylor Megill, and Sean Manaea all sidelined, the right-hander had emerged as one of the team’s more reliable options. </p><p>Over 16 starts this season, the 29-year-old posted a 3.77 ERA with 70 strikeouts across 76.1 innings, allowing just eight home runs and holding opponents to a .245 batting average. His consistency and durability had been crucial in stabilizing the rotation through a turbulent first half.</p><p>In the game, Canning retired five straight batters before crumpling to the ground after breaking toward the third-base line on Nick Allen’s infield grounder. The injury was clearly non-contact, and the former Los Angeles Angels pitcher immediately grabbed at his leg. He was helped off the field, visibly emotional, as teammates and opponents watched in silence.</p><p>Despite the injury setback, the Mets rallied to blank the Braves 4-0, thanks to a dominant effort from their bullpen. Four relievers combined for 6 1/3 shutout innings, helping New York snap a 1–10 skid and reclaim first place in the NL East. The victory lifted the Mets to 48-34, putting them a half-game ahead of the Phillies in the standings.</p><p>At the midway mark last year, the Mets sat below .500 but rallied to reach the NLCS. This year, they’re hoping for a stronger second-half start—but the Canning injury has raised questions about how sustainable their pitching depth really is.</p><p>The injury wasn’t the only concern. The team is still evaluating Manaea, who was diagnosed with a bone chip in his elbow. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-new-york-receives-sean-manaea-injury-update">According to Mendoza, Manaea recently received</a> a cortisone shot and may resume rehab next week.</p><p>For now, the pitching staff is holding up by committee, but how long that can last remains unclear. As the trade deadline nears, decisions about depth, bullpen roles, and reinforcements will only grow more urgent.</p><p>With the Mets back on top in the NL East standings, maintaining that lead without one of their most consistent arms will be a real test of the team’s depth—and resilience.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 29-year-old has been a big reason why the Mets’ rotation has not fallen apart. After losing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-carlos-mendoza-reality-check-kodai-senga-injury">Kodai Senga to New York’s injured list with a hamstring injury</a>, Canning stepped up. Entering Thursday’s game, Canning made it through 15 starts with a 3.91 ERA and a 7-3 record.</p><p>Mendoza is a couple of weeks away from getting Senga and Manaea back in the Mets’ rotation. If Canning’s injury is a hamstring or ACL tear, it could spell doom for New York.</p><p>A rough stretch over their last ten games has the Mets neck-and-neck with the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East. Despite their struggles, New York remains one of the top teams in the NL standings. After Canning’s exit, though, things become much less certain.</p><p>Before getting his normal starters, Mendoza will have to get creative. The Mets could call up prospects from the minor leagues to bridge the gap. Whatever the choice ends up being, even more pressure is on New York’s offense to improve. Luckily for them, the Mets have as much talent at the plate as any team in the league.</p><p>Canning left a 0-0 game after his injury. He was off to a good start, maintaining one of the best team ERAs in Major League Baseball. Despite the star power in Mendoza’s order, their offense ranks in the bottom half of the league in batting average and hits.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-juan-soto-mickey-mantle-1000-hit">Mendoza was able to spark Juan Soto’s offense</a> earlier in June. Now, he needs his superstar more than ever while his starters continue to recover. If he can mimic Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts’ success with limited pitching options, the Mets could navigate well enough until their starters return.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kodai Senga is still on the team’s injured list with a hamstring injury. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-frankie-montas-shuts-down-braves-debut">Frankie Montas made his Mets debut on Tuesday</a> and pitched five shutout innings against the Atlanta Braves. Now, Sean Manaea reached a big milestone in his recovery from an elbow injury.</p><p>The nine-year veteran has yet to make his 2025 debut with New York after suffering an injury in his elbow. He was making his way through a rehab start with the Syracuse Mets on June 19, but he did not finish his start after re-aggravating the the injury.</p><p>According to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, Manaea <a href="https://x.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1938317093130408237" rel="noopener">played catch today</a> and is on track to make his next scheduled rehab start. Mendoza and the Mets anticipate that their veteran starter will come back at some point in July, hopefully before the All-Star break.</p><p>Getting Senga and Manaea back into the starting rotation is New York’s top priority. After losing their series against the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this week, the Mets’ lead in the National League East is gone. Getting his best pitchers back on the mound would be a big boost for Mendoza.</p><p>Montas’ start with the team is an encouraging sign. If he, Senga, Manaea, and Clay Holmes can play together, pitching is not a big concern for New York at the trade deadline. However, the odds of all three pitchers playing well is slim.</p><p>Mendoza and David Stearn figure to be aggressive in the trade market. With the Phillies fighting them for the top spot in their division, the Mets are under pressure.</p><p>After signing Juan Soto this winter, New York was an early World Series favorite. Despite a hot start to the season, they now sit behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in the NL playoff picture. Mendoza’s team is one more bad week away from competing for a Wild Card berth.</p><p>The Mets have a little less than half the season left to figure things out. The first step of the process is getting their starters back. Manaea and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-carlos-mendoza-reality-check-kodai-senga-injury">Senga are a couple of weeks away from returning to the majors</a>. Once they do, Mendoza can work on preparing his team for a deep postseason run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That is not the case.</p><p>According to ESPN’s Todd Zola, Vientos is <a href="https://www.espn.com/fantasy/baseball/story/_/id/44288339/espn-fantasy-baseball-buzz-injuries-promotions-demotions-trades-prospects-lineup-changes-mlb-news-analysis" rel="noopener">near a return and could be activated</a> as soon as possible.</p><p>“After playing a pair of rehab games with Triple-A Syracuse, Mark Vientos could be activated by the Mets prior to tonight’s game with the Braves.

Vientos was not activated before the game, but can be tomorrow. Manager Carlos Mendoza said that there is a chance that Vientos, Brett Baty, and Ronny Mauricio <a href="https://x.com/SNYtv/status/1938333991687295319" rel="noopener">are all on the roster together</a>.</p><p>The Mets are coming off a win, but it is just their second in a 10-game span.

The Mets slugger now has 10 home runs in June and continues to carry the Mets’ offense.</p><p>MLB’s official X account (formerly known as Twitter) recognized Soto’s historic night with a post <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1938050580854792389" rel="noopener">celebrating</a> the moment.</p><p>“With his 27th career multi-homer game, Juan Soto passes Jimmie Foxx for the most in Major League history before turning 27.”</p><p>At just 26 years old—with his birthday still over four months away—Soto could add even more to that total before season’s end. The lefty now sits at 220 career home runs and is well on pace to challenge more historical milestones before his 30th birthday.</p><p>The Mets offense came alive as a whole, totaling 13 hits in the game and going 3-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Soto’s performance helped snap a three-game losing streak and pushed New York to a 47-34 record, reinforcing their position as a legitimate postseason contender.</p><p>Ronny Mauricio added a solo home run in the third inning, while Brett Baty and Brandon Nimmo contributed RBI singles. The Mets bullpen locked things down late, with Jose Butto and Ryne Stanek combining for three scoreless innings before Edwin Diaz slammed the door in the ninth.</p><p>While Soto’s personal milestone grabbed headlines, it was also a statement game for the entire <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-trade-proposal-alex-bregman-red-sox-continue-trading">Mets roster</a>. Breaking out of a losing streak against a division rival like Atlanta made the win all the more impactful.</p><p>Soto’s trajectory continues to align with greatness. A World Series champion, multi-time All-Star, and Silver Slugger winner, his latest MLB record only strengthens a growing Hall of Fame résumé — and gives Mets fans even more reason to believe in 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
