Dedniel Nunez To Slowly Ramp Up Activities
New York Mets relief pitcher Dedniel Nunez (forearm) reportedly had a small army of coaches to come watch him throw this weekend. Nunez showed a ton of potential during the 2024 season, but sadly it was cut short due to injuries. He missed a majority of the second half of the season due to forearm tightness. The good news is that Nunez is fully healthy heading into spring training. The Mets plan to bring Nunez along slowly, so it's unclear if he'll be ready for Opening Day. When healthy, Nunez figures to be a significant part of the bullpen in New York. Last season, Nunez registered a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 48/8 K/BB ratio across 25 games. There won't be a ton of fantasy value for Nunez with Edwin Diaz being the primary closer. However, Nunez could be asked to do occasional closer duties and could be a potential fill-in if Diaz ever misses time.
