The Mets lost 3-1 to the Athletics on Saturday, but they’re still tied for the top spot in the National League East with a 9-5 record. Their pitching has been solid, leading MLB with a 2.47 team ERA, though their offense is struggling, ranking 21st in runs scored. Outfielders, aside from Juan Soto, have been underperforming, and Jose Siri, a new addition who was expected to help, has been struggling too. Siri only has one hit in his first 20 at-bats and hurt his left shin during Saturday’s game. He had to leave the game, but the Mets later said X-rays were negative. Although he’s still in pain and can’t put full weight on the leg, it looks like he’s avoided a serious injury. The Mets were hoping for more from Siri, especially after his solid performance with the Rays in 2023, but for now, he’ll have to work through the pain.
