The Mets, mired in a slump, are banking on a wave of returns from the injured list—A.J.

If these comebacks land by mid-June as hoped, they may turn the tide, but the window to salvage the campaign remains uncertain.

Team Puerto Rico is considering pulling out of the 2026 World Baseball Classic after several players, including captain Francisco Lindor, were denied insurance coverage amid stricter insurer rules.

Other affected players across teams, such as Miguel Rojas for Venezuela, underscore a broader insurance crunch impacting the WBC lineup with decisions looming before roster submission.
Insurance constraints for the World Baseball Classic are sidelining several star players, with eight to ten Puerto Rican teammates potentially blocked from coverage and Team Puerto Rico weighing withdrawal; Francisco Lindor is among those denied due to elbow surgeries, as insurers tighten criteria after injuries in 2023.
