Mets reliever Austin Warren says he is excited to be pitching again after a late-season scare in which he thought he might need Tommy John surgery. He believed his season was effectively over, according to reports.

The accounts describe that Warren’s concern followed an injury that raised questions about the condition of his elbow, prompting discussion of a possible season-ending procedure. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post both frame the story around his change in outlook—from expecting Tommy John surgery to returning to the mound—suggesting that medical evaluations ultimately allowed for a recovery plan rather than surgery. Both outlets focus on Warren’s mindset and readiness to resume pitching, rather than providing differing details about the injury itself.

Together, the coverage emphasizes the uncertainty surrounding the elbow injury and the subsequent clarification that enables his return, while aligning on the basic timeline and the central development: the surgery scare does not end his season.
