DJ Stewart experienced a rollercoaster season with the Mets. After a breakout performance in 2023, where he hit 11 home runs with an .839 OPS in 58 games, he struggled significantly in 2024. Despite re-signing for one year, Stewart's disappointing start led to his demotion to Triple-A after the team traded for Jesse Winker. He finished the season with a .177 batting average, five home runs, and was optioned to the minors after 74 games.
