Updated Post: May 14 at 2:30 PMSteve Cohen’s plan for Metropolitan Park cleared one more hurdle on Tuesday when the New York State Assembly voted in favor of the proposal. Assemblywoman Larinda Hooks (D-Queens) introduced the bill “to discontinue the use as parkland and alienate certain land within Flushing Meadows Corona Park.” The assembly overwhelmingly (138-7) voted in favor of the bill and moved Cohen closer to getting his $8 billion plan, including a casino near Citi Field.

It gets worse before it gets better, right? Before Monday’s series opener in Arizona, Mike Puma of the NY Post reported a few injury updates on Mets players. The team officially placed Jesse Winker on the injured list. He left Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader early with a Grade 2 oblique strain. He’ll likely be out for at least six to eight weeks. The Mets recalled Brett Baty from Syracuse to take his spot on the roster.

The Mets’ organization announced Monday that four prospects earned weekly or monthly accolades. Felipe De La Cruz, Zach Thornton, Jacob Reimer and A.J. Ewing excelled this past week and in April, earning deserved recognition. Felipe De La Cruz is the International League Pitcher of the Week (AAA) after going six innings of scoreless ball while striking out nine. The 23-year-old southpaw debuted with Syracuse after earning a promotion from Binghamton.

The lingering mystery of who will replace Jesse Winker on the roster has been solved. SNY’s Andy Martino reported Monday that Brett Baty would re-join the team that day. Baty, 25, started the season with the big league club but found himself on the outside looking in when Jeff McNeil returned from the IL last month and with Luisangel Acuña‘s hot streak. The now-minted utility player, who saw time at third and second in 2025, was hitting .204/.246/.352/.597 before his demotion.
