Mets’ Tyrone Taylor exits Reds game with pain

The New York Mets dealt with another injury concern Monday when Tyrone Taylor exited their game against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field. The update came after Taylor appeared to experience right hip discomfort while hustling down the first-base line in the sixth inning of an eventual 7-2 loss.

Taylor grounded out to third base while facing Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo with Cincinnati holding a 7-1 lead. Although the play was not close, the Mets outfielder immediately appeared uncomfortable while running toward first. The Mets later removed him from the game as concern quickly grew around the situation.

The injury added to what has already been a difficult start to the 2026 season for the Mets. New York sits last in the National League East at 22-32 with a .407 winning percentage, 14 games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves. Taylor has remained part of the outfield rotation despite his offensive struggles, and any absence would create another roster concern for a team still trying to find consistency.

SNY TV posted the video on X, formerly Twitter, showing Taylor limping after the groundout during the Mets vs. Reds matchup at Citi Field.

The Mets injury update shifted the story from visible concern to a confirmed medical designation. Before the team announcement, Taylor simply appeared to be dealing with discomfort while running down the line. Afterward, New York clarified that right hip pain caused the exit.

For now, the Mets will continue monitoring the veteran’s status closely following another frustrating afternoon at Citi Field.
