A.J. Minter

New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said on Tuesday that A.J. Minter is expected to be activated from the IL in early May.

Fantasy Impact

Minter is recovering from surgery to repair a torn left lat muscle in May 2025. While he’s expected to return in early May, it’s unclear if he has started a throwing program. Once back, he is expected to be used in high-leverage situations.

A.J. Minter is on track to be ready in the early portion of next season.

Minter underwent surgery to repair a torn left lat muscle back in May. He is expected to hold a high-leverage role in the Mets bullpen when he is healthy.

A.J. Minter has exercised his $11 million player option with the Mets.

Minter underwent season-ending lat surgery in early May and was limited to just 13 outings with the Mets. He is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.

A.J. Minter is scheduled to undergo surgery on May 12 to repair a torn left lat.

Fantasy Impact

Minter was off to a strong start in his first season with the Mets, posting a 1.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 11 innings. His season-ending injury, combined with Danny Young undergoing Tommy John surgery, leaves Genesis Cabrera as the only left-handed arm in New York’s bullpen. The Mets will likely need to consider internal call-ups or external additions to address the imbalance, especially for lefty-on-lefty situations.

The Mets transferred A.J. Minter to the 60-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Minter is expected to require surgery, which may sideline him for the rest of the season.
