The New York Mets are facing significant challenges as President of Baseball Operations David Stearns indicated the Aug. 3 trade deadline will be the demarcation point for deciding whether to pursue the postseason or pivot to future seasons. Adding to their woes, Juan Soto departed Tuesday night's game against the Rockies after just four innings due to back tightness. Meanwhile, Francisco Lindor is set to play a third rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse, with the team to reassess his activation post-injury. The Mets also saw Edward Cabrera carted off the field Tuesday after a leg injury while stretching for a throw, and CJ Abrams was a late scratch with left side tightness. Manager Craig Counsell expressed frustration over consecutive rainouts in New York over two days.
