Brooks Raley Continues to Be a Versatile and Reliable Asset for Mets Bullpen

New York Mets left-handed reliever Brooks Raley continued his impressive return from Tommy John surgery on Friday, September 20, 2025, earning his second win of the season against the Nationals. Raley provided crucial relief, securing three outs across the fifth and sixth innings after Huascar Brazoban struggled. Manager Carlos Mendoza lauded Raley as a "total pro" and a "luxury" for his ability to pitch multiple innings in various high-leverage situations from the fifth through eighth innings. Since rejoining the team in mid-July, Raley has been highly effective, posting a 2.42 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 25 appearances, covering 22.1 innings.
