ANALYSIS
Ortega is recovering from elbow surgery that sidelined him for the entire 2024 season, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to compete for a spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen during spring training. The right-hander last pitched in the big leagues in 2023, turning in a 4.30 ERA in 14.2 innings with Minnesota.
