Mets face roster challenges before season opener

The New York Mets will begin their season on March 27 against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. With just one week left before Opening Day, the team's roster is facing several questions. In spring training this year, the Mets are dealing with more injuries than last year. Right-hander Frankie Montas, who signed a two-year, $34 million contract in December, suffered a serious lat strain. He is not expected to return until early June. Competition for spots on the roster is intense, as various players aim to secure their positions. This year's challenges are different compared to last spring when only one major injury affected the team. As the season approaches, the Mets are preparing to finalize their lineup. Fans are eager to see how the team will respond to these changes and who will emerge as key players when the games begin.
