Placed on 60-day IL The Mets placed Smith (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Smith signed a one-year deal with the Mets on Wednesday that includes a club option for 2026. However, he isn't expected to pitch until very late in the season, if at all, after undergoing a Tommy John and internal brace hybrid procedure in July, so New York will move him to the 60-day IL to free up a roster spot.

Re-ups on one-year deal Smith (elbow) agreed Wednesday with the Mets on a one-year deal that includes a club option for 2026, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Smith is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season after he underwent a Tommy John and internal brace hybrid procedure on his right elbow this past July, but he'll be able to conduct his rehab within a team setting after re-signing with the Mets. Before going under the knife during the summer and then becoming a free agent in November, Smith turned in a 3.06 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 17.2 innings over 19 appearances out of the Mets bullpen in 2024.

Mets' Drew Smith undergoes second Tommy John surgery, likely out until 2026

Drew Smith has undergone Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure

JULY 13, 2024 • Associated Press

Undergoes Tommy John surgery Smith underwent Tommy John ligament construction surgery Friday, which included an internal brace procedure, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact DiComo describes the procedure as "full-blown Tommy John ligament reconstruction" and indicates that it means Smith will be sidelined for 12-to-18 months. With that in mind, the reliever will likely miss at least half of next season and may not pitch again until 2025. He is slated to be a free agent in November.

Headed for surgery Smith will undergo surgery to repair a tear in his right UCL on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Smith sought a second opinion and ultimately won't be able to avoid going under the knife after being diagnosed with a significant tear in his right UCL. However, it remains to be determined if he'll require Tommy John surgery or an internal brace procedure, which would likely result in a quicker recovery. Smith is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Thursday to determine a plan of attack for the procedure.

Shifts to 60-day IL The Mets transferred Smith (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was diagnosed with a significant UCL tear in late June, so it's not a surprise he's been moved to the 60-day IL. Smith appears headed for Tommy John surgery but was seeking out a second medical opinion before deciding next steps.

Mets put reliever Drew Smith on 15-day injured list with right elbow sprain

Mets reliever Drew Smith has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow sprain, an untimely blow for a New York bullpen already missing suspended closer Edwin Díaz

JUNE 27, 2024 • Associated Press

Lands on injured list The Mets placed Smith on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right elbow sprain, retroactive to Monday.

Impact Smith received an MRI after reporting tightness while playing catch earlier Wednesday, and his injury is seemingly severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL. Ty Adcock will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the open spot in New York's bullpen.

Undergoing MRI on forearm Smith will undergo an MRI after feeling tightness in his right forearm while playing catch Wednesday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Smith missed a chunk of time earlier this season with a shoulder problem and now has another arm issue to contend with. The righty has been a high-leverage reliever for the Mets this season when healthy, posting a 3.06 ERA and 23:9 K:BB over 17.2 frames.
