Mets outfielder Tyrone Taylor left the crew’s game within the backside of the sixth inning this afternoon with what seemed fairly clearly like a leg injury. It had seemed like one thing was off earlier within the game, however he was very clearly unable to run all the best way to first base on a floor ball he hit to 3rd base.
Coming off a tricky 2025 season, Taylor has struggled mightily to date in 2026. In 104 plate appearances, he’s hit .186/.210/.320 with a 48 wRC+, and coming into the game this afternoon, he was at -0.6 fWAR.

Assuming he’ll be out for some time, the Mets determine to to proceed enjoying their trio of younger outfielders—Nick Morabito, A.J. Ewing, and Carson Benge—fairly commonly. And Juan Soto will get his begins in left subject, too, after all, whereas the crew will clearly name up somebody from the minors to take Taylor’s place on the lively roster as soon as he hits the injured checklist.
