Luis Robert Jr. Rehab Update | New York Mets News

Luis Robert Jr. is making steady progress in his rehab assignment, slashing .571 with two hits and a homer in his first two games with Double-A Binghamton — a stark contrast to his earlier struggles in Triple-A. While no return date is set, he could use the full 20-day window, and when he comes back, he’ll likely face stiff competition from rookie A.J. Ewing, who’s batting .286 but struggles against lefties. Robert’s last All-Star season with the White Sox was marred by recurring injuries — hip, knee, hamstring — and his return could be his best shot at staying healthy and revitalizing a Mets offense that’s near the bottom in OPS. With his right-handed bat, he’s especially needed against lefties — and the Mets are counting on him to make a splash.
