Shifts to 60-day IL The Mets transferred Raley (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact Raley isn't expected to return to a big-league mound until the second half of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May, so his move to the 60-day IL has no impact on his return timeline. It will, however, clear space on the 40-man roster for Chris Devenski, who was selected from Triple-A Syracuse to replace the injured Danny Young (elbow).

Placed on 15-day IL The Mets placed Raley (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Raley is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery but signed back with the Mets earlier this month as he nears a return to the mound. He'll continue to build his arm back up over the next couple months.
APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to Queens Raley (elbow) signed a one-year contract with the Mets on Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Raley's new contract also includes a club option for 2026. He threw a bullpen session in front of several teams' scouts last week, and it seems the Mets liked what they saw enough to bring the 36-year-old lefty back into their organization. He appeared in eight games for the Mets last season, striking out nine batters through seven scoreless innings before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May. He still likely has a few more months to go in his rehab before he'll be ready to pitch in a game, but at least he now officially has a team to return to.

Gets look from multiple teams Raley (elbow) threw a bullpen session in front of multiple teams Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact Raley appeared in eight regular-season games for the Mets in 2024 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May. His bullpen session indicates that he's progressing in his recovery, and the 36-year-old southpaw could be available out of a team's bullpen following the All-Star break. Raley's last full season came in 2023 with the Mets, when he posted a 2.80 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 25 holds and 61:25 K:BB across 54.2 innings.

Undergoes UCL repair Raley (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace augmentation Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact While the Mets didn't list a timetable for Raley's return, the timing of the operation would seem to point to him being out until the second half of the 2025 season. Raley made just eight appearances in 2024, collecting a 9:3 K:BB across seven scoreless innings.
MAY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Slated for Tommy John surgery Raley (elbow) is scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Raley was diagnosed with a strained UCL in his left elbow last Wednesday, and although manager Carlos Mendoza had said the lefty's UCL was healing, Raley will elect to undergo season-ending surgery. The 35-year-old will finish the season with a 9:3 K:BB across seven scoreless innings. Given the timing of his surgery, Raley is likely to remain sidelined through the first half of the 2025 season.
MAY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Diagnosed with UCL strain Manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that imaging revealed a UCL strain in Raley's left elbow, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mendoza noted that Raley's UCL is healing, but the Mets will shut him down for two weeks before re-evaluating him, at which point the team will determine next steps. The left-hander has been on the injured list since April 21 and was initially expected to come off the IL after the 15-day minimum, but he has not made any significant progress toward a return to throwing.

Out with elbow inflammation Raley was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left elbow inflammation, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact It's unclear when Raley suffered the injury, but he last pitched Friday and delivered a scoreless two-thirds of an inning. The left-hander landed on the shelf with a similar injury last April and missed just the minimum 15 days, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be out this time around.

Collects third hold Raley walked two in a scoreless seventh inning Sunday to record his third hold of the season in a win over the Reds.
Impact The southpaw has been one of the few bright spots for the Mets to begin the season. Raley has posted a 0.00 ERA and 4:3 K:BB through his first 4.1 innings, picking up holds in all three of his team's wins. The 35-year-old racked up a career-high 25 holds in 2023, and he's well on his way to matching or topping that number this year.

Blows save, takes loss Raley (0-2) blew the save and took the loss in Tuesday's 7-6 loss against the Royals. He allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and didn't record a strikeout over one-third of...
Impact After handling ninth-inning duties in the Mets' last three contests, Raley took over in the 10th after Drew Smith was handed the ball for the ninth frame and turned in a scoreless inning. Entering the contest with a two-run lead, Raley was unable to secure the win, allowing back-to-back hits to tie the game before being pulled. With the Mets' closing job seemingly wide open, Tuesday's outing definitely won't help Raley's chances at earning more save chances.

Collects save No. 2 Raley picked up the save Sunday against the Nationals. He allowed one walk and struck out three over a scoreless inning.
Impact For the third straight night, Raley was tasked with ninth-inning duties and managed to convert for his second save of the season Sunday. The southpaw looks to have the jump on the closer role following the trade of David Robertson and has turned in three straight scoreless outings for the Mets. Though it's likely Raley will have a short leash considering Adam Ottavino and Drew Smith each saw save opportunities earlier in the year, it appears to be Raley's job to lose. Through 46 appearances (38 innings), Raley boasts a 2.37 ERA and a 43:18 K:BB.
