Will undergo UCL surgery on elbow
Montas will undergo surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Whether Montas requires Tommy John surgery might not be known until he has the operation, but a full UCL reconstruction is considered "very likely," per Heyman, which would knock Montas out until the 2027 season. The 32-year-old holds a $17 million player option for 2026 that he'll undoubtedly exercise.

Shifted to 60-day injured list
The Mets transferred Montas (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Analysis
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Jose Castillo, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse. Montas has already been ruled out for the season with an injured UCL in his right elbow that could require Tommy John surgery.

Shut down for season
Montas' UCL injury in his right elbow is season ending with Tommy John surgery being considered, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports Saturday.
Analysis
Montas was placed on the injured list earlier Saturday with a UCL injury that manager Carlos Mendoza called "pretty significant." At this point, it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, but the Mets have already ruled him out for the remainder of 2025. If Montas requires Tommy John surgery, he'll likely also be sidelined for the full 2026 campaign.

Back on injured list
The Mets placed Montas on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 22, due to a right elbow UCL injury.
Analysis
Montas didn't make his 2025 debut until late June after suffering a lat strain in spring training. Two months later, Montas is headed back to the injured list with an unspecified injury to his UCL. The 32-year-old was recently moved to the bullpen and hadn't pitched since Aug. 15. The Mets recalled Huascar Brazoban from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
