NEW YORK (AP) — Designated hitter Starling Marte was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday by the New York Mets.

The Mets need outfield help. The Yankees want to upgrade third base. And both teams are hovering in must-win territory—with different motivations. For the Mets, it’s about salvaging 2025. For the Yankees, it’s about October. Of course, there are problems. Big ones.

Rico Garcia might need to re-fill his MetroCard. The right-handed reliever had already bounced between the Mets and Yankees this season, and he’s now heading back to Flushing Meadows for a second stint with the Mets, who picked him up off waivers on Monday.

John Oliver was asked why he picked the New York Mets over the New York Yankees when he first moved to America. He didn't mince words.
