Luis Severino allowed one run on five hits across 6 2/3 innings on Sunday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: Severino added eight strikeouts and two walks on the day. He had been working a shutout until allowing an RBI single to Noelvi Marte in the seventh inning. Severino will take on the Phillies in his next start.

J.D. Martinez is out of the starting lineup for the Mets Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Stewart will join the roster after Jeff McNeil (wrist) was ruled out for the rest of the season. The Mets will look to utilize Stewart's lefty bat off the bench, at DH, and occasionally in the outfield.

Jose Quintana delivered a masterclass on the mound Saturday, tossing 6 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just five hits and two walks, and striking out six in a 4-0 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: This performance was a bright spot in what has been a roller-coaster season for Quintana, who entered the game with a middling 4.09 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. His ability to keep the ball away from hitters, evidenced by a .270 BABIP, and a solid outing like today's, could hint at potential late-season stability. However, his modest strikeout rate (7.0 K/9) and high FIP (4.97) suggest that fantasy managers should temper expectations. While today's outing might boost confidence in his capabilities, consistency will be key for Quintana's fantasy relevance as the season winds down.

Harrison Bader went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Mets' 4-0 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's win, marking his 11th homer of the season. Despite a .243 batting average over 124 games, Bader's power has been a useful asset in deeper fantasy leagues, especially given his mix of 15 stolen bases and 52 runs scored. His strikeout rate remains a concern, but his ability to contribute in multiple categories keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value a blend of power and speed.

Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Mets' 4-0 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a modest performance, Nimmo's ability to get on base and score remains a consistent aspect of his game. His season batting average sits at .231, which, combined with a .328 wOBA, suggests he's been somewhat effective, albeit not spectacular. Fantasy managers should note his solid run production and decent power numbers, with 18 homers and 77 runs scored over 132 games. However, his high strikeout rate continues to dampen his overall fantasy value. Nimmo remains a viable option in deeper leagues, particularly for those in need of runs and occasional power.

Fantasy Impact: McNeil suffered the injury after being hit by a pitch on Friday. Jose Iglesias should serve as the second baseman for the remainder of the season.

Sean Manaea delivered a perplexing performance in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Reds, allowing four earned runs on just three hits and two walks while striking out nine over 6 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the high strikeout total, Manaea was bitten by the long ball, surrendering all four runs via the home run. This outing slightly tarnishes his otherwise steady season, where he boasts a 3.43 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP across 28 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.3 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, though the home runs are a concerning trend. Owners should still view Manaea as a strong starting option but be wary of matchups in homer-friendly parks.

Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the Mets' 6-4 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, while modest, is a part of a concerning trend for Alonso, whose season batting average sits at a lackluster .240. Despite his 31 homers, fantasy managers might be growing weary of his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate. His wOBA of .338 suggests some effectiveness, but his BABIP at .273 indicates some struggles with batting luck this season. Owners should temper expectations; Alonso is more of a power play than a batting average booster at this stage.

Mark Vientos delivered a standout performance in the Mets' 6-4 victory over the Reds, going 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI.

Fantasy Impact: His offensive explosion was pivotal in securing the win, showcasing his power-hitting capabilities. Vientos's season has been marked by consistent power, as evidenced by his 24 home runs and 62 RBI in 91 games, complementing a solid .289 batting average. His ability to convert hits into significant run production, especially without contributing in stolen bases, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups focused on power and RBI. While his high strikeout rate remains a concern, his slugging prowess and ability to drive in runs should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Tyrone Taylor is out of the starting lineup for the Mets Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Taylor will head to the bench for the start of the series with the Reds. Starling Marte will patrol right field and bat seventh Friday.

Tylor Megill pitched four innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three in Wednesday's 8-3 victory over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the Mets securing a comfortable win, Megill's performance was less than stellar, continuing a trend of middling outings that has seen his ERA hover at 4.95 for the season. His WHIP and BABIP suggest he's been somewhat unlucky, but not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Fantasy managers should view Megill as a risky play, given his inconsistency and the lack of deep outings that limit his win potential and strikeout totals.

Jesse Winker went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in the Mets' 8-3 victory over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a crucial home run that helped cement the Mets' lead, alongside drawing a walk and striking out once. This game highlights Winker's ability to contribute significantly when it counts, boosting his RBI total to 58 for the season. With a solid .268 average, Winker continues to be a reliable source of power and on-base skills for fantasy managers. His consistent run production and occasional power surges make him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that reward walks and on-base percentage.

Fantasy Impact: Senga is working his way back from a calf strain that was believed to have been serious enough to end his season. He has stated that he would be willing to work in relief in order to come back this season.

Fantasy Impact: The Mets have not announced when he will start next week, but that he has been cleared after completing a rehab start Tuesday. He has been out of action with a right hand contusion.

Jose Iglesias is out of the starting lineup for the Mets Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Iglesias will head to the bench after going hitless Tuesday. Jeff McNeil will start at second base and bat seventh against the Red Sox Wednesday.

Francisco Lindor went 2-for-4 in the Mets' win over the Red Sox with a home run, a double, two runs scored, three RBI, and one stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Lindor's consistent ability to contribute across multiple categories, enhancing his value in fantasy leagues. His season totals, including a .273 average, 30 homers, and 26 steals, position him as a top-tier fantasy shortstop. Lindor's blend of power and speed, coupled with a solid wOBA of .360, makes him a crucial asset for fantasy managers, especially in roto leagues. His performance in this game is a reminder of his potential to impact games significantly, making him a must-start in all formats.
