41-year-old Benito Santiago, who last played in the majors in May 2005, intends to attempt a comeback next season.

Santiago signed with the Mets after being released by the Pirates in May 2005, but he didn't get called up and chose to head home in July. He announced his intentions to play in 2006 about a year ago this time, but he didn't follow through. He's currently hitting .250 through 14 games in the Puerto Rican League. "I think I can help anybody," he said. "I'm playing like I was five or six years ago. And if someone comes to see me in Puerto Rico, they'll see it, too." Beggars can't be choosers, but it sounds like Santiago would like to join the Phillies. Thu, Nov 30, 2006 02:18:00 PM

2B	1	Wilmer Flores Sidelined ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports Wilmer Flores (wrist) may be done for the season. He isn't close to swinging a bat and has already received two cortisone shots since going down with a bruised wrist two weeks ago. Flores could return if the Mets make a deep postseason run but it's a near certainty he won't be back for the final week of the regular season. Assuming that's the case, Flores will close out the 2016 campaign with 16 HR, 49 RBI and a .267 average across 307 at-bats. Sep 24
	2	Kelly Johnson
	3	Ty Kelly
	4	Neil Walker 60-Day DL Neil Walker underwent a successful lumbar microdiscectomy on Thursday. Walker was plagued by back issues for much of the second half before the decision was made earlier this month to have season-ending surgery. The second baseman will be a free agent this winter. Sep 9

	2	T.J. Rivera

	4	David Wright 60-Day DL David Wright (neck) received a good report from Dr. Robert Watkins on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Wright is healing properly and the "hope and belief" of the Mets -- per Heyman -- is that he will be fully ready for the start of spring training in 2017. The veteran third baseman underwent fusion surgery in June to repair a herniated disc in his neck. He's owed around $67 million on a contract that runs through 2020. Sep 13
LF	1	Yoenis Cespedes
	2	Alejandro De Aza
	3	Justin Ruggiano 60-Day DL Justin Ruggiano underwent season-ending surgery on his left shoulder on Monday. Ruggiano was already ruled out for the year after being moved to the 60-day disabled list at the end of August. He ended up appearing in just nine games with the Mets. Sep 13

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Jacob deGrom Sidelined Jacob deGrom underwent successful surgery to repair ulnar nerve damage in his right arm on Wednesday. This officially puts deGrom's 2016 season to rest. In 148 frames, the 28-year-old right-hander pitched to a 3.04 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 143/36 K/BB ratio. Barring setbacks in his rehab, deGrom should be ready to roll come spring training of 2017. Sep 21
	2	Noah Syndergaard Sidelined Noah Syndergaard (illness) will start Tuesday against the Marlins. Syndergaard needed a few extra days after falling ill with strep throat. He threw a bullpen session on Saturday and appears to be feeling much better. Syndergaard is now in line to pitch the Mets' regular season finale in Philadelphia next weekend. With a slim lead in the Wild Card, it's very possible the Mets' season could come down to that game. Sep 24
	3	Steven Matz 15-Day DL Mets manager Terry Collins said if Steven Matz (shoulder) returns this year it will likely be as a reliever. Matz has endured numerous setbacks in his recovery from a strained shoulder and with only a handful of games left in the regular season, there simply isn't enough time to stretch him out. The lefty had been scheduled to pitch Friday against the Phillies but was scratched after feeling renewed shoulder soreness. He hasn't pitched in a game since August 14. Sep 24
	4	Bartolo Colon
	5	Jon Niese 60-Day DL Mets transferred LHP Jon Niese to the 60-day disabled list. That will end his season. Niese had surgery to repair a torn meniscus last month so he probably wasn't going to come back anyway. The move clears a roster spot for Lucas Duda, who was activated from the disabled list on Saturday. Sep 17
	6	Seth Lugo
	7	Robert Gsellman
	8	Rafael Montero
	9	Zack Wheeler 60-Day DL Zack Wheeler (elbow) will not return in 2016. Wheeler won't pick up a baseball again until he starts gearing up for spring training. The right-hander has encountered several setbacks in his recovery from Tommy John surgery including a strained flexor tendon he suffered last month. He hasn't made a big league start in almost two years. Sep 3

	10	Gabriel Ynoa
	11	Josh Smoker
	12	Erik Goeddel
	13	Jenrry Mejia Suspended Jenrry Mejia told Hector Gomez of Z101 in the Dominican Republic that he is "certain I did not use anything (illegal)." "It’s not like they say," Mejia said in Spanish. "I am certain I did not use anything. I have a lot of faith. I have to clear my name." It's frankly hard to believe Mejia after he was given a lifetime ban by Major League Baseball following his third failed PED test over the last year. But, he'll eventually have a chance to defend himself, as he can apply for reinstatement in one year. The suspension must last at least two years, though, and in all likelihood Mejia's career in baseball is over. Feb 14
