Mets infielder Grae Kessinger expected to miss at least 8 to 12 weeks with a hamstring injury

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New York Mets reserve infielder Grae Kessinger is expected to miss at least 8 to 12 weeks because of a left hamstring injury.

According to MLB.com, manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday at spring training that surgery is a possibility for Kessinger, who left Friday’s win over St. Louis after grounding into a force play in the eighth inning.

The Mets signed the 28-year-old Kessinger to a minor league contract last month. He last played in the major leagues in 2024, when he went 0 for 21 in 23 games with the Houston Astros.
