Luis Robert Jr. Making Progress Toward Grapefruit League Debut

Luis Robert Jr. is nearing his Grapefruit League debut for the Mets after a productive start to camp on the backfields. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Robert's talent and the way the ball comes off his bat, emphasizing that the team's primary goal is keeping the center fielder healthy for the 2026 season. Robert, who hit a home run on Friday, is currently playing in minor league games every other day as he continues his progression toward full-time major league action.
