The Mets signed Minter (hip) to a two-year, $22 million contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets were known to be seeking a high-leverage reliever and have landed one of the better ones in Minter, who has an opt-out after the first year of the deal. The 31-year-old was limited to just 39 appearances in 2024 due to a left hip injury which eventually required surgery, but he was highly effective when on the bump, compiling a 2.62 ERA and 35:11 K:BB over 34.1 innings. Since 2020, Minter boasts a 2.85 ERA and 30.1 percent strikeout rate. There's no word on how far along Minter is in his recovery, but he will presumably be ready to go by Opening Day. He'll operate in a setup role ahead of closer Edwin Diaz.

Atlanta transferred Minter (hip) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of new signee Gio Urshela. Minter needs surgery to repair his left hip and will miss the rest of the season.

Minter will undergo surgery on his left hip, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Minter visited a specialist Wednesday to determine the best course of action regarding his hip injury that has been plaguing him for most of the season, and it was ultimately decided that the 30-year-old reliever will need to undergo surgery. Given the timing of his injury, there's a good chance that the procedure will put an early end to his season, though manager Brian Snitker said the team won't know for sure until after the operation.

Minter is slated to see a specialist this week regarding his injured left hip, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Minter landed on the injured list Monday with left hip inflammation -- the second time his hip has forced him to spend time on the IL this year. His first injury caused him to sit out the entire month of June, and Atlanta will know more the southpaw's status for the remainder of the season after his doctor visit.

Atlanta placed Minter on the 15-day injured list Monday with left hip inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
It's the same injury that caused him to miss more than a month of action earlier this season. Atlanta hasn't provided a timeline for Minter to return from his latest hip injury, but the club will now be without him until at least late August. Dylan Lee was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Minter's spot on the active roster and in the bullpen.

Atlanta activated Minter (hip) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Minter has been on the shelf since late May with left hip inflammation. He made three rehab appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett, allowing two runs (one earned) with a 3:2 K:BB over three frames. Minter should immediately be thrown back into a high-leverage relief role when Atlanta begins its three-game series with the Giants on Tuesday.

Atlanta is expected to activate Minter (hip) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While making his third rehab appearance for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Minter tossed a scoreless inning. Assuming his left hip is feeling fine coming out of the minor-league outing, he should join Atlanta for the start of its three-game series versus the Giants. Daysbel Hernandez was optioned to Gwinnett following Atlanta's 4-2 loss to the Pirates on Sunday, creating an opening in the bullpen for Minter.

Minter (hip) is scheduled to pitch during a game with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's appearance could be Minter's last before being activated from the 15-day injured list. While he's allowed two runs (one earned) across two minor-league innings, he's only surrendered one hit. Prior to being placed on the IL, Minter turned in a 2.95 ERA and a 23:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings with Atlanta.

Minter (hip) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Minter made an appearance with High-A Rome on Saturday, allowing an unearned run and a hit while striking out three batters over an inning on the mound. The left-hander will now take the last step in his recovery from the left hip inflammation that has kept him out since May 30, joining the Triple-A roster. Minter will likely make multiple appearances with Gwinnett before being activated from the 15-day injured list in the near future.

Minter (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Minter has been on the injured list since the end of May due to left hip inflammation, but he has now been given the green light to return to a competitive setting. It's unclear how long the 30-year-old southpaw will remain in the minors, but it shouldn't take long for him to build back up as a reliever. He currently owns a 2.95 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 21.1 innings on the year, and he will likely reprise his role as Atlanta's main setup man upon returning to the big-league bullpen.
