New York Mets DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

New York Mets outfielder Jeff McNeil hit his first homer of the season in a 19-5 blowout win over the Washington Nationals on Monday. McNeil went 2-for-5 with a triple, a homer, and three RBI to help power the Mets to the win. The veteran has logged just 12 at-bats in 2025 after spending the majority of the season on the injured list while recovering from a right oblique strain, but he's wasted little time catching up as he's hitting .333 with three RBI thus far. McNeil will look to stay hot as the Mets open up a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos had a nice day at the plate during Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Vientos has been hot with the bat lately as he took a five-game hitting streak into Monday's contest. He was able to single and extend that streak, but he also smashed a three-run home run off infielder Amed Rosario who was pitching in the ninth inning. It wasn't too impressive of a homer considering it was off a meatball thrown by a non-pitcher, but fantasy managers will take the points. Vientos is hitting over .300 during the last two weeks and deserves to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo put together an unbelievable performance against the Washington Nationals on Monday. Nimmo was quiet at the plate until blasting a three-run home run off Colin Poche in the sixth inning. He followed that up with a grand slam in the seventh inning. Nimmo wasn't done there as he smacked a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. Nimmo finished his day 4-for-6 with two home runs, a double, and nine RBI in the win over the Nats. Nimmo tied Carlos Delgado for the most runs batted in during a single game in Mets history. It has been a quiet start to the season for Nimmo, but maybe this is a sign that he's going to turn things around.

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out nine over 6 innings in an 8-7 loss to the Nationals on Sunday. This was the first time of the season that he allowed more than two runs in a start, which speaks to just how good he has been. More importantly, this was his first quality start and appearance of at least six innings of the year. If he can become more efficient and last longer into games he could be a real standout in fantasy, as he has already shown his strikeout upside with 19 punchouts combined over his past two starts. Megill will look to keep things up in his next time out, currently lined up to be against the Cardinals.

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. McNeil recently returned from the injured list on Friday and went 2-for-7 during the first two games of this series. However, McNeil will take a seat here with left-hander Mitchell Parker on the mound for the Nats. Luisangel Acuna will take over at second base and bat eighth versus Parker in this one. Acuna is more of a deep league option right now and isn't an ideal streaming option against Parker who has been strong to start the year.
