Reed Garrett's Regular Season Ends as Mets Reliever Lands on IL with Elbow Sprain

New York Mets reliever Reed Garrett has been placed back on the 15-day Injured List with a right elbow sprain, effectively ending his regular season. The move, announced on September 18, 2025, comes shortly after Garrett was activated on September 7 from a previous stint on the IL for right elbow inflammation, indicating a recurrence of his elbow issues. This season, the right-hander made 58 appearances, recording a 3.90 ERA. His performance was notably streaky, starting strong in April and May without allowing an earned run, but then struggling significantly with a 7.36 ERA in June and an 8.00 ERA in August. His absence impacts the Mets' bullpen as they make other roster adjustments.
