Mets' Frankie Montas Out for Season with Significant UCL Injury, Tommy John Surgery Possible

Mets right-hander Frankie Montas has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a 'pretty significant' UCL injury in his right elbow, an injury that will cause him to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Tommy John surgery is a possibility, and Montas had expressed soreness in his lower bicep area before getting an MRI. Montas, who signed a two-year, $34 million deal, is likely to miss most of the 2026 season if he undergoes the procedure.
