Dedniel Núñez of Mets Out with Right Elbow Sprain on 60-Day IL

Dedniel Núñez has been placed on the 60-day injured list, which affects the Mets' bullpen depth. This is his second injury report of the season related to his elbow. In the 2025 season, Núñez played 10 games with 9 2/3 innings pitched, recording a 4.66 ERA and a WHIP of 1.24.

In his recent games before the injury, Núñez had a K/9 of 10.2 and tallied 11 strikeouts.
