The Mets snapped a long skid earlier this month and have been hemorrhaging bodies ever since. Lindor (calf) is finally doing baseball activities but still needs a rehab assignment. Alvarez (knee) is back hitting and could beat his 8-week timetable, per Mendoza. Polanco (Achilles) starts a rehab stint at Double-A Binghamton. Tyrone Taylor just joined the IL with a hip issue, and Luis Robert Jr. got bumped to the 60-day. That's a lineup card held together with athletic tape.

Miami isn't exactly whole either — Eury Perez is dealing with a right hamstring after his last outing, Thomas White has a shoulder thing, and Robby Snelling is done after internal brace surgery on his UCL. But the Marlins have won 3 of their last 5, including the 2-game sweep in Miami, before dropping a series in Toronto. The difference is the rotation is still cranking out starts like Meyer's — Miami has permitted just 2 runs in his last 4 home outings, and he's road-tested against this same lineup 6 days ago.
The total sits at 7.5 with the under juiced to -121, which tracks for a Meyer-Peralta rematch where one guy has been pitching like a Cy Young contender and the other got handled by this same offense a week ago. If the Mets can't get Vientos or Soto going early against Meyer's slider, this turns into a quick night in Queens — and another reminder that Miami quietly has one of the more interesting young arms in the National League.
