The Mets face a setback as pitcher Max Kranick is sidelined with a hamstring strain, joining Kodai Senga on the injured list. Their pitching depth is put to the test, with several starters already facing uncertainties. The team is hopeful for other players to step up and fill the void.

Despite challenges, the Mets remain optimistic about their overall pitching depth. They are unlikely to pursue big-name free agents due to financial constraints. Kranick's injury is a blow to the team, but they are monitoring the situation and evaluating their options moving forward.
