The New York Mets continue to face a challenging season, losing to the Washington Nationals 5-4 on April 30, 2026. With a record of 17 losses out of their last twenty games, fans are left questioning the team’s direction.
Luke Weaver took the loss after blowing a late lead, wearing his jersey number 30. Meanwhile, Luis Robert Jr. has been placed on the injured list due to a herniated disc in his back, adding to the team’s woes.
The Mets also made some roster changes this week. Carl Edwards Jr. was designated for assignment, while Eric Wagaman and Austin Warren were called up to join the active roster. Additionally, they claimed infielder Andy Ibáñez off waivers from the A’s.
As the team struggles on the field, manager Carlos Mendoza’s future is uncertain. There are increasing calls for his firing, but some analysts argue that removing him won’t solve deeper issues. David Lennon noted, “Firing Carlos Mendoza won’t fix things.” If he does get replaced, it’s unlikely that Alex Cora would step in as his successor.
