  • Mets add Joey Lucchesi for Wednesday start
    Mets recalled LHP Joey Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Lucchesi will be making his season debut after amassing a 2.58 ERA and a 28/16 K/BB ratio over 38 1/3 innings in seven starts for Norfolk. He’ll serve as the spot starter against the Phillies today and then probably get returned to Triple-A. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Mets recall reliever Grant Hartwig
    Mets recalled RHP Grant Hartwig from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Hartwig will rejoin the pen. He allowed two runs in three innings during an earlier stint with the team. Overall, he has a 4.93 ERA in 38 1/3 innings the last two years. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Nabs win Tuesday
    Scott (2-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Tigers, giving up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

    Advice: Rather than being held back for a possible save situation in extra innings on the road, Scott got the call in the ninth with the score tied 0-0 and was able to escape the jam he created. The southpaw hasn't allowed an earned run in 10 straight appearances, but Scott's been far from sharp during that time, posting an 11:7 K:BB in 9.1 innings. That's still an improvement on his early-season performance, and his 2.12 ERA on the year isn't supported by his 1.53 WHIP or 18:17 K:BB in 17 frames. Scott is still the Marlins' closer and has converted four of five save chances, but A.J. Puk got the save in the 10th inning Tuesday and could be a threat to take the job now that he's moved back into the bullpen. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Return pushed back again
    Smith (shoulder) will not be activated from the injured list Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: He will have his return pushed back a second time because the Mets need length from their bullpen and Smith isn't ready to provide that yet. Presumably, Smith is now set to be activated Thursday. He's been out since late April with right shoulder inflammation. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Mets designate Yohan Ramírez for assignment
    Mets designated RHP Yohan Ramírez for assignment.

    Advice: Ramírez’s second stint with the Mets this season ends after three scoreless innings, and he’ll likely go back on waivers. He has a 6.91 ERA in 14 1/3 innings overall for the Mets and Orioles this season. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Mets demote José Buttó in spite of 3.08 ERA
    Mets optioned RHP José Buttó to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: This is a surprise, but the Mets needed a starter for today (Joey Lucchesi, who is coming up from Triple-A) and the team just doesn’t have many optionable pitchers; it was just Buttó, Christian Scott and Reed Garrett. Buttó, who was 1-3 with a 3.08 ERA in seven starts, might rejoin the rotation in 10 days, though the Mets will also have Tylor Megill and David Peterson as rotation candidates then.

  • Looks good in rehab outing
    Francis (forearm) struck out four batters and allowed only one hit over two scoreless innings Tuesday in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: The right-hander was shut down in late April due to forearm tendinitis, but Francis' sharp rehab outing suggests he's just about ready to rejoin the big-league staff. Alek Manoah is coming off a strong start as the fifth starter, so Francis will likely be ticketed for long relief when he returns. After a couple rough outings in the rotation to begin the season, Francis has 2.84 ERA and 5:3 K:BB in 6.1 relief innings for the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Recalled ahead of start
    The Mets recalled Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Advice: Lucchesi will make a spot start Wednesday in Philadelphia. The 30-year-old has spent all of the 2024 season with Syracuse, collecting a 2.58 ERA and 28:16 K:BB over 38.1 frames. Lucchesi makes for a poor streaming option Wednesday in a difficult matchup. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
     
  • Summoned to majors
    The Mets recalled Hartwig from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Advice: Hartwig has yielded two runs over three innings covering two relief appearances with the Mets this season. He'll provide the bullpen with a fresh arm. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
