Frankie Montas Surgery Update | Mets | Daily Injury

2025-08-29 — 4 min read

New York Mets right-hander Frankie Montas has sustained a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, officially ending his 2025 season and likely extending his absence into 2026.

Injury and Procedure

Montas confirmed the UCL tear—through supportive imaging—and surgery is scheduled promptly to maximize his recovery window.

Rotation Consequences

With Montas out, the Mets must adjust, likely leaning on arms like David Peterson or top prospect Ronny Mauricio to fill innings during the clutch playoff stretch.

Looking Ahead

Montas' contract and future role may come under scrutiny if recovery is prolonged. The Mets' offseason will hinge on pitching depth bolstered by this loss.

This surgery is a serious blow to New York’s pitching plans. As the team recalibrates, depth and flexibility will become critical.
