2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez made his major-league debut in 2024 and impressed during his rookie season with the Mets. The 28-year-old righty put up a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB over 35 innings while compiling nine holds across his 25 appearances. Unfortunately, Nunez was shelved for much of the second half after suffering a right flexor strain. He has reportedly responded well to a platelet-rich plasma injection and could pitch in the Dominican Winter League if he continues to progress in his recovery. If healthy for 2025, Nunez will be in line for high-leverage work out of the Mets' bullpen in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Mets in March of 2025.
Could be headed for Tommy John
Nunez (elbow) may require Tommy john surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
While the Mets initially labeled Nunez's injury as a right elbow sprain when he was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, an MRI revealed more significant issues with his ligament. If he does end up needing Tommy John surgery, it would be the second such procedure in the 29-year-old right-hander's career. Given his history of arm trouble, expect the Mets to be cautious with Nunez's recovery, even if he avoids a worst-case scenario.
