Reed Garrett Undergoes UCL Reconstruction, to Miss All of 2026
The New York Mets announced that right-handed reliever Reed Garrett (elbow) underwent "UCL reconstruction" surgery on Wednesday, according to Jorge Castillo of ESPN. It will be Garrett's second surgery on his right elbow this year, as he also went under the knife to deal with a nerve issue in his arm. It's not the ideal situation for a pitcher, and the 32-year-old veteran will miss the entire 2026 season as a result. In his two full seasons with the Mets, Garrett has gone 11-11 with a 3.83 ERA (3.38 FIP), a 1.36 WHIP, seven saves, and a 147:56 K:BB in 112 2/3 innings over 111 appearances (one start). He has been in the high-leverage mix during his time with the Mets, but he has a long road back to being a trustworthy option at the back end of a bullpen.
