Gsellman (triceps) said he felt great after long-tossing from 100 feet Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
He remains on track to try to return before the end of the season. Even if he makes it back, he would likely return in a low-leverage role.

Gsellman (triceps) played catch Wednesday and remains hopeful to pitch again this season, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the Mets revealed in late August that Gsellman was contending with a partially torn right triceps, the expectation was that the team would shut him down for the season. That still seems to be the most likely outcome, but Gsellman hasn't thrown in the towel just yet. Assuming his triceps responds well to throwing off flat ground, he'll likely advance to mound work next week and target a return from the injured list in late September.

Gsellman is likely done for the year after being diagnosed with a partially torn right triceps, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was originally diagnosed with right triceps tightness, but it turns out the issue was more severe than that. Gsellman should be able to be ready for spring training, assuming he avoids surgery.

Gsellman hasn't pitched the last two days due to triceps soreness, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets don't appear to be considering a trip to the injured list for Gsellman just yet, but if his absence lasts much longer, he may need to hit the IL. His last outing dates back to Sunday when he surrendered two runs on two hits over 0.1 innings.

Gsellman (2-2) picked up the win Tuesday, striking out two over two perfect frames in an extra-innings victory over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander took care of business in the 10th and 11th innings, and Gsellman was rewarded when Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto launched back-to-back homers in the top of the 11th. With Edwin Diaz's name appearing in trade rumors, the Mets' closer role could open up in August, but Gsellman's 4.71 ERA and 1.39 WHIP likely won't merit strong consideration for ninth-inning work.

Gsellman (0-2) took the loss against the Giants on Sunday, tossing 1.1 innings and giving up a walkoff solo home run to Mike Yastrzemski in the 12th.
EDGE Analysis
After Jeurys Familia walked the first two batters in the 11th, Gsellman got the call and escaped the jam. but his luck didn't hold in the following frame as he threw a 3-2 changeup to Yastrzemski that got a little too much of the plate. The right-hander now carries a 6.52 ERA over his last 9.2 innings, having served up three homers in that stretch, and his 1.34 WHIP actually masks how shaky his command and control have been -- he has a 9:4 K:BB, but that doesn't include four HBPs.

Gsellman walked two batters but didn't allow a run in two-thirds of an inning during Tuesday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Entering the game in the fifth inning, the right-hander couldn't finish the frame and needed to be bailed out by Luis Avilan, missing out on a chance to get credited with the win in the process. That's actually an improvement for Gsellman, though, as he'd been scored upon in four of his prior five appearances. The poor stretch has inflated his ratios to a 5.07 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, and he has nearly as many blown saves (four) as he does holds (five).

Gsellman experienced back tightness after tossing a scoreless inning Friday against the Cardinals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gsellman threw 20 pitches in the seventh inning and complained of back tightness after the frame, which is why he wasn't sent back out to handle the eighth. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Gsellman walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
With both Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia having seen heavy recent usage, Mets manager Mickey Callaway turned to Seth Lugo in the eighth inning and Gsellman in the ninth to protect a one-run lead, and the duo got the job done. The latter had been in a funk, allowing six runs over his last 4.2 innings, but Gsellman now sports a 3.63 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:12 K:BB with one win and four holds in 26 appearances this season.
