Clay Holmes is headed to the injured list with a fractured right fibula, expected to miss at least six weeks before beginning a potential return in the second half of the season. The Mets must now address gaps in their starting rotation, with several internal options under consideration.

- ▪Clay Holmes suffered a fractured right fibula after being hit by an 111.1-mph line drive during a game against the Yankees.
- ▪Holmes has a 2.39 ERA in nine starts this season and is the second Mets starter, along with Kodai Senga, to land on the injured list.
- ▪The Mets recalled Joey Gerber and are considering Zach Thornton, Tobias Myers, and others to fill upcoming rotation needs.
