Garrett will not throw this week as Tommy John surgery was recommended, with the team seeking a second opinion. This removes a bullpen piece at a critical juncture and tightens the Mets’ late-inning options.

Garrett’s ligament strain creates bullpen uncertainty; doctors’ reviews will shape whether he’s sidelined long or can return with modification.

Garrett worked the bases-full scenario, issuing a walk to Langford that loaded the bases before Pederson’s game-tying hit, highlighting the high-leverage role of Mets relievers in the late innings.

Garrett goes on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation; imaging shows no UCL damage. A cortisone shot precedes a plan to return after 15 days, with a minor-league game on the horizon. Lefty C. Montas bumped to the 60-day IL as a related roster move.

Garrett anchors the bullpen’s leadership arc amid a dramatic roles shift after the deadline. He emphasizes unity and persistence, highlighting that the transition is a collaborative process rather than a fault of any single player. His voice helps keep the clubhouse focused on the bigger objective, even as the workload intensifies and roles continue to evolve.
