Mets, Yankees Prepare for Key Subway Series

The New York Mets and New York Yankees are both leading their respective divisions as they head into the upcoming Subway Series at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees will be without third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera due to a left ankle fracture but have reinstated DJ LeMahieu to the roster. The Mets have found success with stars Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, while manager Carlos Mendoza has shown confidence in both established and emerging talents, including Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuña. Despite a recent loss to the Cubs, Mendoza remains optimistic about the team's offensive approach, though fans have voiced frustration over missed scoring opportunities. The Mets recently secured a close win over the Pirates, overcoming a strong outing by pitcher Paul Skenes, who was praised by Mendoza. Injuries and recent roster decisions are expected to play a significant role in the outcome of the anticipated series.
