Dedniel Nunez Healthy At Spring Training
New York Mets right-handed reliever Dedniel Nunez (forearm), who missed all of the second half in 2024 with a strained right flexor tendon, was hitting 96 mph during a team-supervised live batting practice session in the Dominican Republic this winter. According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, the Mets consider Nunez a healthy player at the start of spring training this week. The 28-year-old reliever is still a bit of a health risk entering the 2025 campaign, but he looked pretty darn good for the Mets in his MLB debut last year with a 2.31 ERA (2.22 FIP), a 0.91 WHIP, his first career save, nine holds, 48 strikeouts and only eight walks in 35 relief innings in the first half. If he can stay healthy in 2025, Nunez figures to be in line to see plenty of high-leverage work in the late innings for New York as a top setup man for closer Edwin Diaz.
