Hughes has yet to join his new Mets teammates, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mets manager Luis Rojas didn't provide a reason for Hughes' absence, but the reliever had only just signed his contract with the Mets last Tuesday, so it's possible that his absence has nothing to do with COVID-19. Whatever the reason, the righty won't have much time to get in game shape before Opening Day, which is less than three weeks away.
