Colin Houck

NYM Shortstop

Mets selected Parkview HS (Lilburn, GA) SS Colin Houck with the 32nd pick of the 2023 MLB Draft.

A high school shortstop from Georgia, Houck (no relation to the Red Sox right-hander with the same last name) offers excellent power potential and has some chance of lasting in the middle infield, although it’s possible he’ll eventually move to third base. The 18-year-old is committed to Mississippi State and given the fact that he fell to the early second round there could be some concerns about the Mets’ ability to sign him. Since it was their first pick in the draft though, they shouldn’t have a problem going over-slot to get a deal done.
Mark Canha

NYM Left Fielder #19

Mark Canha went 1-for-2 and drove in a pair of runs as the Mets fell to the Padres on Sunday afternoon.

Canha — who entered the game after Tommy Pham was hurt in the first inning — finally got the Mets on the board with a two-run double in the eighth inning. He wraps up the first half hitting .245/.345/.403 with six homers, 28 RBI and six stolen bases.
Max Scherzer

NYM Starting Pitcher #21

Max Scherzer struggled in Sunday’s loss to the Padres, giving up five runs on six hits over his five innings of work.

The 38-year-old hurler struck out seven batters on the afternoon while issuing three walks. All of the damage done against him was done by Manny Machado — with a three-run blast in the opening inning and a two-run shot in the fifth. Scherzer generated 15 swings and misses on 100 pitches on the day — seven on his fastball — while posting a strong CSW of 35 percent. He finishes a disappointing first half with an 8-3 record, 4.31 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 101/23 K/BB ratio across 87 2/3 innings.
Tommy Pham

NYM Center Fielder #28

Tommy Pham was pulled from Sunday’s showdown against the Padres due to right groin soreness.

Pham suffered the injury in the field during the first inning of Sunday’s contest. He’ll undergo an MRI exam on Monday in New York to determine the severity of the injury. The Mets have until the end of the week to make a decision as to whether or not he’ll require a trip to the injured list.
Tommy Pham

NYM Center Fielder #28

Tommy Pham was removed from Sunday’s battle against the Padres in the first inning due to an apparent arm injury.

Pham looked to be in pain after throwing the ball back into the infield on Ha-Seong Kim’s leadoff single, which prompted a visit from the training staff and his ultimate removal. He’ll head for further evaluation to determine what’s going on.
Starling Marte

NYM Right Fielder #6

Starling Marte is not in the Mets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Padres.

After playing in the last six games for the Mets, the veteran outfielder retreats to the bench for Sunday’s showdown against the Padres. The 34-year-old is hitting .256/.309/.336 with 23 steals across 326 plate appearances this year. Jeff McNeil will patrol right field and bat fifth in his place.
Denyi Reyes

NYM Relief Pitcher #72

Mets sent RHP Denyi Reyes outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

The 26-year-old was designated for assignment earlier in the week and will return to Triple-A Syracuse after he cleared waivers. He will serve as pitching depth for the Mets.
Jose Quintana

NYM Starting Pitcher #62

José Quintana (ribs) allowed five earned runs across 4 1/3 innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse.

He scattered four hits and struck out five in the start. He generated 15 swinging strikes on 78 pitches, posting a 31 percent CSW. His fastball velocity averaged 89.6 MPH, which is down from 91.2 MPH last year. Even with the less-than-ideal outing, Quintana is expected to join the Mets rotation after the All-Star break.
Francisco Alvarez

NYM Catcher #4

Francisco Alvarez launched his 17th home run of the season — accounting for the Mets’ lone tally in Saturday’s loss to the Padres.

The hard-hitting 21-year-old backstop finally got the Mets on the board with his 373-foot solo shot off of Luis Garcia in the seventh inning, trimming their deficit to two runs at 3-1. He struck out in his other three at-bats on the night, finishing the evening 1-for-4. On the season, he’s slashing a respectable .242/.296/.522 with 17 homers and 35 RBI in his first 222 plate appearances.
David Peterson

NYM Starting Pitcher #23

David Peterson pitched decently in a losing effort against the Padres on Saturday night, allowing three runs on five hits over his 5 1/3 innings of work.

The 27-year-old southpaw piled up seven strikeouts on the night while issuing only two free passes. All of the scoring done against him came in the second inning as Brandon Dixon plated a run with a fielder’s choice and Matthew Batten swatted an unlikely two-run homer. Peterson got 10 whiffs on 88 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 26 percent. He finishes his first half of the season with a 2-7 record, 6.46 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and a 60/22 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings in 11 starts with the Mets.
