New York Mets infielder Nick Madrigal could miss the entire 2025 season with a fractured left shoulder. Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Friday that Madrigal needs surgery to repair his non-throwing shoulder, which the player dislocated Sunday when he fell to the ground after throwing a ball to first base against the Washington Nationals.

With shortstop Nick Madrigal due for a long absence with a fractured shoulder, the Mets could reunite with a fan favorite infielder on a minor-league deal.

The Mets wasted no time placing him on the 60-day injured list, which was bad enough. But the real gut punch came when Mets insider Anthony DiComo reporte d that surgery was likely and that Madrigal was “probably done for the entire season.

Injuries in the starting rotation have the New York Mets scrambling for depth and insurance. The latest addition came Friday in the form of a minor-league deal with right-hander Jose Urena, who can earn $2 million if he makes the big-league roster.

After news breaking that Nick Madrigal will be out for the year, the New York Mets now have a bench role for the taking.

One of the Mets' reinforcements might be heading to the operating room and could miss the entire 2025 MLB season.
