  • Released by Mets
    The Mets released Lopez on Wednesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

    Advice: Lopez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and has now officially been cut loose after posting a 3.76 ERA and 19:11 K:BB over 26.1 innings. The reliever threw his glove into the stands following an ejection in his last appearance with the Mets and in a postgame interview referred to himself as "the worst teammate in MLB." Despite the unceremonious ending to his tenure in New York, Lopez should be able to field some interest from other clubs as a free agent. Rotowire.com Today, 11:28 am
     
  • Mets release Jorge López
    Mets released RHP Jorge López.

    Advice: López struggled in his final three appearances for the Mets before being let go, and between that and the controversy that erupted after his final outing, he’ll probably have to spend a little time in the minors before getting another opportunity. Overall, he did have a 3.76 ERA in 26 1/3 innings for the Mets. His 19/11 K/BB ratio wasn’t great, though. Rotoworld Today, 11:10 am
     
  • Secures save No. 6
    Sewald earned the save Tuesday against the Giants. He plunked a batter but struck out two and did not allow a hit in the ninth inning.

    Advice: Sewald was presented with a save opportunity after Mike Yastrzemski made it a three-run ballgame with his home run in the eighth. He began by hitting Thairo Estrada but faced no threat after that. He has not given up a run since his first appearance of the season and has allowed just three hits total while converting all six save chances. For the year, the 34-year-old boasts an 0.96 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB in 9.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 6:44 am
     
  • Paul Seward remains perfect in save opportunities
    Paul Sewald struck out two in a scoreless ninth for a save Tuesday against the Giants.

    Advice: Sewald hit Thairo Estrada on his elbow guard to begin the ninth, but he faced no further threat. It was his sixth save in six tries since he came off the injured list a month ago. He’s gone nine straight outings without allowing a run. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:51 pm
     
  • Notches fifth save
    Sewald picked up the save Sunday against the Mets, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Sewald has been nigh unhittable lately, allowing just one baserunner over his past six appearances. The 34-year-old veteran has not allowed an earned run since his season debut back on May 7 and he is now a perfect five-for-five in save opportunities with a microscopic 1.08 ERA and 0.48 WHIP in 8.1 innings.

  • Paul Sewald grabs save
    Paul Sewald pitched a clean ninth inning to earn the save against the Mets on Sunday. He struck out one batter.

    Advice: Sewald seems to relish the opportunity to close games against the organization that gave up on him and did so on back-to-back days this weekend. This was the first time all season the Diamondbacks used Sewald on consecutive days as he continues to get more comfortable since returning from injury. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:47 pm
     
  • Secures 17th save
    Suarez picked up the save Friday against Kansas City. He pitched one-third of an inning with no strikeouts, allowing no runs on one hit.

    Advice: Suarez entered to collect the last out in a bases-loaded jam with a five-run lead. After yielding a two-RBI single to Freddy Fermin, the San Diego closer induced a Nelson Velazquez flyout to secure the win. Suarez is now tied with Emmanuel Clase for second in the majors with 17 saves, trailing Ryan Helsley by one. The 33-year-old righty has been brilliant as the Padres closer this year, firing a 0.72 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 25 innings. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:12 pm
     
  • Robert Suárez gets one-out save against Royals
    Robert Suárez retired one of the two batters he faced for a save Friday against the Royals.

    Advice: The Padres were up 11-3 heading to the bottom of the ninth, but Stephen Kolek gave up hits to six of the eight batters he faced. That created a save situation for Suárez with the bases loaded in an 11-6 game. Suárez gave up a two-run single to the first batter he faced and then retired Nelson Velázquez for his 17th and easiest save of the year. Rotoworld Friday, 9:00 pm
     
  • Mets officially move on from Jorge López
    Mets designated RHP Jorge López for assignment.

    Advice: This move was reported last night and was much discussed after the social media firestorm that followed López being ejected from the game and throwing his glove into the stands. A video was posted where López was alleged to have said the Mets were the worst team in baseball, but the reliever clarified in the morning that what he actually said was that he was the worst teammate in baseball. Regardless, the Mets stated that López’s comments to the media had no influence on their decision to release him but that he was released because of his antics on the field and the fact that he expressed no regret about them. The 31-year-old is likely to get a shot with another team this year. Rotoworld Thursday, 12:34 pm
