Dedniel Nuñez's 2025 season is officially over due to an impending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, marking the second such procedure for the 29-year-old Mets reliever. After struggling last season and undergoing significant rehabilitation, Nuñez showed promise but was sidelined with a partially torn UCL, leading to this unfortunate turn of events.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expressed disappointment, noting Nuñez's hard work to return to form after an injury-plagued career. Initial success at Triple-A raised hopes, but his MLB performance did not match expectations. The Mets are now facing a daunting injury situation as Nuñez becomes their third reliever lost to a season-ending ailment.
