Drew Gilbert Injury: Opens season on IL

Triple-A Syracuse placed Gilbert (hamstring) on its 7-day injured list Thursday.

The outfielder's 2024 campaign was derailed by hamstring injuries, and he still wasn't fully healthy at the outset of spring training, prompting the Mets to take a cautious approach with him in camp. He didn't make any appearances during the Grapefruit League slate and is presumably still in the process of ramping back up before he makes his 2025 debut for Syracuse.
