Mets pitcher Robert Stock, 36, needs surgery for a rare blood flow condition, likely missing most of 2026.
Mets pitcher Robert Stock, 36, has been recommended for surgery to treat arterial thoracic outlet syndrome, a rare condition affecting blood flow in the upper chest and shoulder.
The diagnosis followed shoulder discomfort during spring training, with an MRI confirming the issue.
Stock, who signed a minor league deal with the Mets in 2026 and showed promise in spring training, aims to return by September—faster than the typical nine- to ten-month recovery.
He has pitched in parts of five MLB seasons, with a 7.57 ERA since 2018, and previously spent time in the KBO and minor leagues.
The Mets have depth in their rotation and bullpen to manage his absence.
