Fantasy Impact:
While Blackburn's previously repaired back caused no issues this spring, a new knee injury will delay his start to the 2025 campaign. He’ll be shut down for about a week to 10 days, but the Mets expect him to return before the end of April. The 30-year-old righty had been penciled into a long-relief role, and his absence could open the door for another depth arm to crack the Opening Day roster.
