Nunez earned the save in Friday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia, tossing 1.1 scoreless frames. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Nunez was brought out of the bullpen with two outs in the eighth inning and needed only 11 pitches (seven strikes) to secure the win for the Mets. It was his first save of the season and the second of his major-league career, with his first coming during the 2024 season. Kodai Senga wasn't brought out for the save chance despite not having pitched since Tuesday, when he blew a save chance against the Orioles, so perhaps Nunez could get a couple more save chances before the 2026 campaign ends. Nunez has a 3.94 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 16 innings this season.

The Mets activated Nunez (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The Mets traded away most of their bullpen at the deadline aside from closer Devin Williams, so Nunez could be thrust into a high-leverage role right away. The 30-year-old right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2025 and has looked good on his rehab assignment, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse. In his most recent appearance Saturday, he appeared to be comfortably sitting around 96 mph with his fastball.

Nunez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Thursday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Nunez is less than a year removed from undergoing Tommy John surgery but has already been cleared for game action. Barring any setbacks, the reliever appears in line for his season debut shortly after the All-Star break. Nunez boasts a 2.82 ERA and 59:14 K:BB over 44.2 innings during his time with the Mets.

The Mets placed Nunez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday.
The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for catcher Ben Rortvedt, whom the Mets claimed off waivers from the Dodgers on Sunday. The move won't affect Nunez's timeline for a return, as the 29-year-old right-hander is likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery July 14.

The Mets transferred Nunez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
The transaction is merely procedural, as Nunez is slated to miss the rest of the season and likely the entire 2026 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery last Monday. The Mets claimed right-hander Rico Garcia from the Yankees on Monday and will have him take over Nunez's spot on the 40-man roster.

Nunez (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Nunez landed on the injured list July 3 with a sprained right elbow, and he's now slated to undergo Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. The 29-year-old will wrap up 2025 with five earned runs allowed in 9.2 innings, and because his procedure will happen so far into the season, he's likely to remain on the shelf for the entire 2026 campaign as well.
