Mets infielder Nick Madrigal may be sidelined for the entire 2025 season due to a fractured left shoulder.
Manager Carlos Mendoza informed reporters on Friday that Madrigal will require surgery to mend his non-throwing shoulder, which he injured during a fall after making a throw to first base against the Washington Nationals.
An MRI conducted on Monday confirmed the severity of the injury, prompting Mendoza to indicate that Madrigal would be out for an extended duration. The team promptly placed him on the 60-day injured list and acquired Alexander Canario from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations.
Madrigal joined the Mets seeking a fresh start after signing a one-year contract in January, following a challenging season with the Cubs where he posted a batting average of just .221 over 51 games.
