Brandon Nimmo is nearing a return to game action, recovering well from plantar fasciitis and reporting at 94% readiness. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that he is on track to join Grapefruit League games next week. Meanwhile, Starling Marte is still limited to backfield work as the Mets cautiously manage his recovery from knee issues that sidelined him last season. The club is monitoring his progress carefully before allowing him competitive play.

Prospect Ronny Mauricio is also being closely evaluated following a lengthy absence from the game, with plans to potentially integrate him into games mid-March. His recent batting practice has shown promising power, indicating he could be an asset if he remains healthy. In the meantime, the Mets are evaluating their roster as players like Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil continue to make progress in their spring training.
