Marco Vargas is injured, unclear if it's the same issue that has limited him to 3 games and a previous IL stint
-Infielder/centerfielder Jett Williams, the Mets’ top prospect, went on the seven-day injured list with Double-A Binghamton because of a right wrist issue.
After he jammed it, sat out for a week and didn’t feel well enough to play, the Mets opted to officially sideline him. He might get a cortisone injection, and the Mets are inclined to take his return very slowly, given his importance to the organization.
Before getting hurt, Williams was off to a slow start at the plate, batting .180 with a .668 OPS. He also played several games at second base, his first professional exposure to that position, his potential eventual defensive home.
Saul Garcia (received a nice report from @BaseballAmerica before the season) has been activated from the 7 day IL. Garcia has stuck out 7 over 3.2 innings of work for @stluciemets. He figures to join @BKCyclones shortly
Mets did right in drafting him again. He's been unreal. Though there have been some disappointments (hello Vasil), the pitching has been fantastic in the minors
Interesting on Jordan's position situation. Didn't realize that. He was 3:1 OF last year. My guess is the Mets are confident in his OF abilities and are trying to get him more experience in the IF. (Or could just be positional needs) Regardless, would be nice to have a cost-controlled bench guy who can play all over in a year or two.

tramuta and tanous generally did a really good job over the last decade+.
separately another strong article from sammon on the farm. posting this snip for the injury updates but there was also a mention that the mets have been impressed with ramirez work ethic this year:
Current assignment: Double-A Binghamton
Keith Law ranks: 30th on MLB Top 100, 1st on team Top 20
Williams is out with a wrist injury but should be back within the next couple of weeks. In 11 games, he has a .668 OPS.
Drew Gilbert, OF
Current assignment: Triple-A Syracuse
Keith Law ranks: 100th on MLB Top 100, 4th on team Top 20
Gilbert is out with a hamstring injury, but officials expect him back in June. In just seven games, he has a .681 OPS.

FCL will be Edgar Moreta. Moreta 3.1 perfect innings 5 k's in his stateside debut. Today will be his first start
place RHP Bryce Jenkins on the full season IL. Jenkins was @mets
17th round pick in 2023. @reillocity
's FaBIO system really liked him post draft
Tong has been one of the big pitching stories of Minor League Baseball with his 0.33 ERA and 47 strikeouts over 27 2/3 innings between Single-A and High-A. The 2022 seventh-rounder has shown a 92-94 mph fastball with incredible rise in 2024, allowing for the high K rate and low ERA. His mid-80s curveball looks like another potential above-average offering, and he has a workable slider and changeup too, adding to his considerable helium.
They have missed on high picks, but the depth they are finding in the draft looks a lot more attractive than under previous scouting units.
Quote:
A.J. Ewing singles in his first AB, OPS up to .907, he's reached base in 7 straight games. I'm very high on him.

If the draft were done today, Baro may not be a 1st round pick but he'd be a top 2-3 round pick, Ewing probably would too. Houck had red flags pre-draft, there was a fan driven narrative he fell due to cost but that wasn't really the case, it was swing concerns. I'm not "out" on him yet but I'd say I'm "concerned".

Are you concerned about Parada? I don't recall reading any concerns about his bat. In fact, many experts that I read had him in the "best bat in the draft class" discussion, if not the top bat up there at least.
