Mets' Grae Kessinger: Out long term with hamstring injury
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Kessinger sustained "a pretty significant injury" to his left hamstring and will need at least 8-12 weeks to recover, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Mendoza added that surgery is "on the table" for Kessinger, with a procedure likely to keep the 28-year-old out through the longer end of that timeline. Even if Kessinger is able to avoid surgery, he'll be out of the running for a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster as a utility infielder.

Mets' Grae Kessinger: Suffers knee injury Friday
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Kessinger will get imaging done after suffering a left knee injury in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, SNY Mets reports.
Mendoza noted that the injury "didn't look too good," but the club will wait for MRI results before determining a plan for Kessinger. Kessinger seemed to have a chance to make the Opening Day roster in the event that Francisco Lindor (hand) isn't ready, but Kessinger is now facing a possible extended absence.

Mets' Grae Kessinger: Invited to Mets' camp
Kessinger signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Kessinger played 11 games with Arizona's Triple-A affiliate in 2025, during which he went 8-for-34 with three RBI, six runs scored and a steal. The 28-year-old will begin spring training with the big club but is likely to report to Triple-A Syracuse at the start of the season.

Diamondbacks' Grae Kessinger: Dropped from 40-man
The Diamondbacks designated Kessinger for assignment Saturday.
Kessinger has spent the entire season at Triple-A Reno, slashing .235/.447/.324 through 47 plate appearances. The D-backs needed to make room on their 40-man roster after selecting J.P. Feyereisen and Juan Morillo to the active roster, so Kessinger will end up as the odd man out. With a career .456 OPS in the majors, the 27-year-old infielder should have a decent shot at clearing waivers.

Diamondbacks' Grae Kessinger: Sent to Triple-A
The Diamondbacks optioned Kessinger to Triple-A Reno on Friday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old was acquired from the Astros during the offseason after being designated for assignment, and he had a solid showing at the plate during spring training with a .294/.391/.353 slash line in 23 plate appearances. Kessinger is likely to spent most of 2025 with Reno but could receive a look in the big leagues if Arizona suffers some infield injuries.

Diamondbacks' Grae Kessinger: Shipped to Arizona
The Astros traded Kessinger to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for Matthew Linskey, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The signing of Christian Walker caused Kessinger to lose his spot on Houston's 40-man roster in December, and he will now look to work his way back into the majors in the D-backs organization. The 27-year-old infielder owns just a .456 OPS through 70 career MLB plate appearances but slashed .262/.337/.388 over 67 Triple-A games last season. He'll most likely remain in the minors upon joining his new club.

Astros' Grae Kessinger: Designated for assignment
The Astros designated Kessinger for assignment Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Christian Walker, which was made official Monday. Kessinger, 27, is 8-for-61 at the plate over the last two seasons in the majors and has a career .694 OPS in the minors, but it's possible he'll draw interest from a team in need of utility infielder depth.

Astros' Grae Kessinger: Makes season debut Monday
Kessinger (hamstring) grounded out in his lone plate appearance in Monday's 10-0 loss to the Blue Jays.
Kessinger didn't see make any Grapefruit League or exhibition appearances after March 18 while he recovered from a right hamstring strain, but he showcased enough improvement last week to be included on the Astros' Opening Day roster as a reserve infielder. With the Astros building a 10-run lead after seven innings, Kessinger got the chance to make his season debut in the bottom of the eighth as a pinch hitter for designated hitter Yordan Alvarez. He's still waiting to make his debut in the field, but Kessinger at least looks to be healthy now.
