Overall
Summary
Mike Tauchman (35-year-old outfielder) underwent knee surgery in late March 2026 for a torn meniscus. As of May 11, 2026, he remains rehabbing at the Mets' spring training complex and has yet to resume baseball activities. Originally given a six-week recovery timeline, he is now not expected to return to Triple-A Syracuse until June at the earliest. The extended recovery timeline suggests complications or slower-than-anticipated progress in his rehabilitation.
