Donovan Walton was told Saturday he won’t make the Mets’ Opening Day roster, per team updates, despite a chance following an teammate’s injury. (Anthony DiComo)

News: The Mets told Chris Devenski, José Ureña, Jakson Reetz, Génesis Cabrera and Donovan Walton they're not making the team. They're all going AAA. (Ureña will not opt out.)

That doesn't *necessarily* mean Acuña and Senger have made it due to potential adds, but it looks good.

Fantasy Impact:

Walton’s 6-for-41 Grapefruit League showing ends his bench bid Saturday, even with Nick Madrigal’s shoulder injury, leaving Luisangel Acuña as Francisco Lindor’s likely shortstop backup for the Mets. The 30-year-old falters. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, banking on his versatility for a 2025 call-up if he rebounds in the minors and injuries strike Queens.
