Goes on IL with forearm tightness
The Mets placed Nunez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right forearm tightness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Nunez just returned from a forearm issue last Friday and is now headed back to the IL following a recurrence of the injury. He missed nearly a month of action the first time around, but it's not clear how long this stint might last. It's a blow to the Mets' bullpen, as Nunez has been excellent this season with a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB over 35 frames.

Plays catch, but status uncertain
Nunez (forearm) played catch Thursday, but his availability remains unclear, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Nunez wasn't available for Wednesday's game in Arizona due to right forearm tightness, which is the same injury he just recently returned from. He could be headed back to the injured list, but the Mets also didn't rule out the possibility that he's available to pitch as soon as Thursday. It's a wide range of outcomes for one of the team's best relievers this season.

Forearm issues return
Nunez wasn't available for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks due to forearm tightness, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Nunez returned from the injured list Friday after spending nearly a month on the shelf due to a right forearm strain. He went 1.2 innings and struck out three batters during his first appearance back Saturday, but manager Carlos Mendoza said the 28-year-old reliever hasn't recovered properly from the outing and is once again experiencing forearm problems. He's considered day-to-day for now, though the Mets will likely want to take a closer look at him to determine if he'll need to make another trip to the IL.

Officially reinstated
The Mets reinstated Nunez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Friday.
Analysis
As expected, Nunez will come off the injured list Friday after spending almost a month on the shelf with a pronator strain in his right forearm. Prior to the injury, Nunez logged a 2.43 ERA with nine holds across 33.1 innings for the Mets. Huascar Brazoban was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.
