Nick Madrigal is set to have shoulder injury and is expected to be out for the season. This top prospect could take advantage of the opportunity in the infield.

Mets infielder Nick Madrigal is likely out for the entire 2025 season after it was revealed that he will require shoulder surgery.

Nick Madrigal's injury opened a spot on the New York Mets Opening Day roster, and two of the organization's young prospects - Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuña - are doing their best to impress the front office.

The Mets still don't intend to bring back veteran infielder Jose Iglesias after losing Nick Madrigal to injury. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Friday that Madrigal needs surgery to repair his non-throwing shoulder, which the player dislocated Sunday when he fell to the ground after throwing a ball to first base against the Washington Nationals.

A new signing for the New York Mets is now expected to miss the entire 2025 MLB season due to an injury suffered in spring training.

Team officials told Madrigal he doesn’t have to be everything Jose Iglesias was to the Mets in order to win the job.
