Grae Kessinger Sidelined by Significant Hamstring Injury; Surgery Possible
New York Mets infielder Grae Kessinger suffered a significant left hamstring injury during spring training. Manager Carlos Mendoza described it as "a pretty significant injury" in updates reported March 1, 2026. Surgery is on the table; recovery is estimated at 8–12 weeks if he avoids surgery, with a return around Memorial Day possible.
Kessinger, 28, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in January after missing nearly all of 2025 due to injury. He was competing for a utility infield role. The Mets may turn to Vidal Bruján, Jackson Cluff, or Christian Arroyo for depth.
