PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets still had 44 players in major league camp as the team rested Tuesday on the final scheduled off-day of spring training.&nbsp;

Further reductions will occur over the next few days, and by the time the Mets break camp after Monday’s Grapefruit League finale, it’s likely only 27 or 28 players will remain for the 26 roster spots. 

The final roster isn’t due until hours before the March 27 season opener in Houston.&nbsp;

Injuries to Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, Francisco Alvarez, Jeff McNeil and Nick Madrigal in particular have spurred job competition in camp.&nbsp;
