NextImg:Mets mulling Jett Williams wrist surgery for stubborn injury

The Mets’ top prospect has not played in over five weeks and does not have a timetable for a return.

Jett Williams, a middle infielder/center fielder who shot all the way to Double-A during a breakout 2023 season, has what the club is calling a right wrist TFCC sprain that already required one cortisone shot.

Williams is expected to receive a second injection after the first did not cure the soreness.

President of baseball operations David Stearns said surgery could be an option if the follow-up shot also does not fix the issue.

The Mets expect to know more in the next week to 10 days.

“If the second injection doesn’t work, we’re going to have to look at what more we can do to help him,” Stearns said before the Mets played a doubleheader against the Dodgers on Tuesday at Citi Field.

Williams, a 20-year-old who said his goal was debuting in the majors this season, had his year stalled after just 11 games with Double-A Binghamton.

He has not appeared in a game since April 21 with a soreness that Stearns said stemmed back to this spring.

Williams, a natural shortstop whom the Mets were playing at second base and center field, too, burst on the scene last season, when he graduated from Low-A to High-A to Double-A with a combined .876 OPS, 45 steals and nearly as many walks drawn (104) as strikeouts (118).
