Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year, $771,000 contract with the Mets in March of 2025.
Likely to require Tommy John
Kranick (elbow) will likely undergo Tommy John surgery, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Kranick was diagnosed with a right flexor strain in late June, and after receiving a second opinion on his elbow, he's expected to undergo his second Tommy John surgery in three years. There's still a chance he undergoes a flexor tendon repair surgery, but for now, the expectation is Tommy John. The 27-year-old logged a 3.65 ERA in 37 innings of relief for the Mets this season. Regardless of which procedure he has, he'll be out for the rest of 2025 and could miss portions of 2026.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kranick made his big-league debut in 2021 and showed glimpses of promise, despite a few ugly outings inflating his surface stats. That put him in the conversation for a rotation spot entering 2022, but instead his season was derailed by forearm and elbow injuries. Positive things rarely follow that type of diagnosis, and Kranick underwent Tommy John surgery on June 4, 2022. That puts him in line to return sometime in the summer months of 2023 - likely late in the season - as a potential contributor out of the bullpen.
