Battenfield was picked up off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians in early September.

The 26-year-old Battenfield has appeared in seven games in the major leagues this season (six starts) and posted a 0-5 record and a 5.19 ERA along with a 1.33 WHIP. He has 27 strikeouts in 34.2 innings this season.

Sept. 2, 4:30 p.m.

Prior to Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners, the Mets announced that they have recalled RHP Grant Hartwig from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned RHP Denyi Reyes.

Hartwig returns to the team after being optioned after his last appearance (Aug. 17). In 19 appearances, Hartwig is 4-1 with a 4.74 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP.

As for Reyes, the righty returns to Syracuse after pitching 5.1 innings against the Rangers on Aug. 30. In that game, Reyes gave up two runs on three hits while striking out three batters. So far this season, Reyes is sporting a 0-2 record and a 6.28 ERA in eight games (three starts).

Sept. 2, 2:49 p.m.

The Mets announced Saturday that they have claimed RHP Peyton Battenfield off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians. They have optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

He last pitched May 17 against the Chicago White Sox where he went 4.1 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits and one walk. Shortly after, the Guardians placed Battenfield on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation.

He was sent on a rehab assignment in early July and stayed in the minors until August 31 when the team designated him for assignment.

In 11 starts in the minors this year, the righty has a 0-5 record with a 5.04 ERA.

Aug. 31, 2:00 p.m.

Carlos Carrasco officially cleared waivers Thursday after going unclaimed by any team. As a result, the veteran right-hander will now remain with the Mets for the remainder of the season.

Carrasco has struggled mightily this year, pitching to a 6.80 ERA and 1.70 WHIP while allowing 18 home runs, three shy of tying his career-high. His last time out he lasted just 1.2 innings and allowed five runs in a loss to the Angels.

After putting together his best start of the season prior to the All-Star break he's taken significant steps backwards. The righty is 0-5 with a 10.24 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in the second-half.

It's still unknown if he'll remain in the starting rotation or pitch out of the bullpen.

Aug. 30, 4:12 p.m.

Before their game against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, the Mets recalled RHP Denyi Reyes who will make the start for New York and optioned RHP Sam Coonrod back to Triple-A.

Manager Buck Showalter also told reporters before the game that RHP Carlos Carrasco, who was reportedly placed on waivers on Tuesday night, will be available to pitch out of the bullpen on Wednesday.

Aug. 23, 10:59 p.m.

The Mets are calling up right-handed pitcher Sean Reid-Foley, according to multiple reports. Right-hander Reed Garrett was optioned in a corresponding move, manager Buck Showalter announced later on Wednesday.

This will be Reid-Foley's first time back in the majors since he underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2022.

In 22 appearances (two starts) across New York's minor league clubs (the majority at Triple-A Syracuse) this season, the 27-year-old has pitched to a 4.09 ERA with a 1.000 WHIP surrendering 10 runs on 11 hits with 11 walks and 33 strikeouts. He has been tagged for five home runs.

In five seasons at the big leagues with the Mets and Toronto Blue Jays, Reid-Foley has pitched to a 4.66 ERA (4.93 FIP) and 1.564 WHIP over 102.1 innings in 40 appearances (13 starts).

The righty arrived in New York in the deal that sent LHP Steven Matz to the Blue Jays. Reid-Foley was non-tendered after the 2022 season before re-signing with the Mets on a minor league contract in December.

Aug. 20, 12:56 p.m.

Ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Mets called up RHP Reed Garrett and optioned RHP Vinny Nittoli down to Triple-A Syracuse.

Garrett last pitched in the big leagues on Aug. 12 against the Atlanta Braves, allowing six runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts over 2.1 innings. In six games this year with the Mets and Baltimore Orioles, Garrett owns a 12.10 ERA through 9.2 IP with seven strikeouts.

Aug. 19, 5:19 p.m.

Prior to Saturday's game against the Cardinals, the Mets announced a flurry of moves involving their bullpen/rotation.

First, the Mets selected LHP Adam Kolarek from Triple-A Syracuse and recalled RHP Vinny Nittoli. To make room, the team optioned LHP Joey Lucchesi back to Syracuse. Lucchesi pitched 5.2 shutout innings in Friday's win over St. Louis.

The Mets also designated RHP Dennis Santana for assignment.

Aug. 16, 12:35 p.m.

Prior to Wednesday’s rubber match with Pittsburgh, the Mets announced they had selected right-handed pitcher Denis Santana from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned right-hander Jose Butto to Syracuse.

In eight games for the Mets this season, Santana has allowed six runs on eight hits (two home runs) with five walks over 8.2 innings for a 6.23 ERA and a 1.500 WHIP. The 27-year-old has a 1.818 WHIP and a 4.91 ERA in 33.0 innings over 29 games (two starts) at Triple-A this season.

Butto, who was called up prior to Tuesday’s game, allowed three runs on two hits with three walks and five strikeouts in 2.2 innings in relief and took the loss.

New York also designated RHP Edwin Uceta for assignment.

Aug. 15, 3:55 p.m.

The Mets have recalled right-handed pitcher Jose Butto from Triple-A Syracuse and in a corresponding move optioned right-hander Tyson Miller.

In three outings this season with the Mets, Butto has surrendered four runs on 10 hits over 12.0 innings for a 3.00 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP. The 25-year-old has posted a 5.96 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 80.0 innings over 17 starts at the Triple-A level.

Miller, 28, made his first appearance and earned the win Monday for the Mets, pitching two innings of scoreless relief while surrendering two walks. He has now appeared in nine games on the year (seven with Milwaukee and one with Los Angeles) pitching to a 5.40 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 13.1 innings. He came to New York after being claimed off the Dodgers’ waivers on Aug. 4.

Outfielder Abraham Almonte, who had been designated for assignment on Aug. 12, has been outrighted to Syracuse.

Aug. 12, 5:35 p.m.

Prior to Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves, the Mets reinstated Tim Locastro from the IL and recalled RHP Tyson Miller from Triple-A Syracuse.

Yacabonis has a 6.59 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across six big-league appearances this season.

Aug. 7, 4:00 p.m.

The Mets have called up veteran outfielder Abraham Almonte from Triple-A Syracuse, according to MLB.com’s Antony DiComo.

Almonte, 34, has spent the season with the Mets’ minor-league affiliates appearing in six games with St. Lucie, eight at High-A Brooklyn and 27 with Syracuse after signing a minor-league deal with the organization last December.

The 10-year big league veteran has 11 home runs, 26 RBI and slashed .228/.331/.564 for an .895 OPS in 118 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this year. He last appeared in the big leagues in 2022 for Boston, where he had a .257 average and .697 OPs in 15 games.

Almonte is a career .235/.302/.374 hitter, with 72 doubles, 13 triples, 24 home runs and 118 RBI in 455 MLB games.

Overall, the righty has appeared in 14 big league games, pitching to an 8.00 ERA.

Aug. 3, 12:55 p.m.

The Syracuse Mets officially released 1B/DH Luke Voit on Thursday.

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that the Mets granted a request from Voit to release him from his contract, in hopes that the slugger can catch on and contribute with another team before the end of the season.

In 37 games with Syracuse, Voit hit .264 with 14 homers and 35 RBI. 

Aug. 2, 6:28 p.m.

After the multitude of moves New York made at the MLB trade deadline, some more new faces have arrived and are with the team in Kansas City.

RHP Phil Bickford, who was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers, was activated and INF Jonathan Arauz was recalled from Triple-A. To make room on the roster, the Mets have optioned RHP Vinny Nitoli and C Michael Perez.

In 36 games this season, Bickford has pitched to a 5.14 ERA over 42 innings and has struck out 48 batters but has walked 26. The 28-year-old has been in the majors since 2020.

Arauz has played in 68 games across three seasons at the major league level with the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles. He will make his Mets debut on Wednesday night, batting seventh and playing second base. The switch-hitter has five home runs in 175 at-bats in his career.

Aug. 2, 3:46 p.m.

The Mets announced that newest prospects Drew Gilbert and Jeremiah Jackson were assigned to Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday.

Gilbert, the outfielder acquired from the Houston Astros in the Justin Verlander trade, is now the Mets' No. 4 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. Jackson, the organization's No. 22 prospect, was acquired in a deal with the Los Angeles Angels for reliever Dominic Leone. 

The Rumble Ponies continue a six-game homestand Wednesday and there's a possibility they both are in the lineup.

Meanwhile, outfielder Ryan Clifford, who was also acquired in the Verlander trade, has been assigned to High-A Brooklyn.

Aug. 1, 6:30 p.m.

With numerous open roster spots ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Royals, the Mets have made a flurry of roster moves.

Following the deadline, New York has recalled right-hander John Curtiss, lefty Josh Walker, catcher Michael Perez, and outfielder Rafael Ortega from Triple-A Syracuse.

Curtiss, Walker, and Perez have made appearances with the Mets already this season but this will be Ortega's debut in orange and blue.

The veteran outfielder, who signed a minor league deal with the team, posted a .379 on-base percentage with seven doubles and six stolen bases through 30 games with Syracuse.

July 28, 3:45 p.m.

After trading David Robertson to the Miami Marlins, the Mets have recalled RHP Reed Garrett from Triple-A Syracuse.

In three big-league seasons, Garrett has played for three clubs and appeared in two games for the Baltimore Orioles this year, pitching to a 10.13 ERA. In 22 career appearances, the right-hander is 0-1 with a 7.90 ERA.

However, in 25 minor-league games this season between the Norfolk Tides and Syracuse Mets, the 30-year-old has a 2.45 ERA -- although, in six games with Syracuse, he owns a 5.40 ERA.

July 22, 4:50 p.m.

The Mets are calling up Danny Mendick from Triple-A Syracuse to replace the injured Luis Guillorme (10-day IL) on the active roster, the team announced.

Mendick will be active for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox in Boston.

Over 75 games with Syracuse this season, Mendick is slashing .266/.354/.403 with a .757 OPS to go along with nine home runs, 13 doubles, and 39 RBI. In four games at the big league level this season, Mendick is 0-for-7 with a strikeout.

Additionally, LHP Josh Walker will serve as the 27th man on Saturday night.

July 20, 4:12 p.m.

While Buck Showalter wouldn't commit publicly to an official move on Thursday afternoon, SNY's Andy Martino reports that outfielder/infielder Mark Vientos is getting called up from Triple-A.

With Starling Marte on the IL due to migraines and Tommy Pham leaving Thursday's loss to Chicago with a groin injury, the Mets needed some outfield help, and Vientos certainly fits the bill.

The 23-year-old slugger had a 16-game stint with the Mets earlier this season, slashing .178/.224/.244 with a home run and 5 RBI.

Vientos should be available for this weekend's series against the Boston Red Sox.

July 14, 5:13 p.m.

As Jose Quintana returns to the Mets rotation, the team made room for the lefty by designating T.J. McFarland for assignment. Mets GM Billy Eppler announced the move prior to Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Eppler explained that the move to get Quintana back on the roster had to be made Friday, but the lefty is scheduled to pitch Wednesday.

McFarland made three appearances for the Mets this season, getting two strikeouts in 1.2 innings pitched. He had a 0-1 record with a 5.40 ERA and 3.00 WHIP in his limited run with the team.

Quintana's insertion into the rotation also means that David Peterson will move to the bullpen.

"David Peterson, for now will, be in the bullpen," Eppler said. "Then we'll see how we move in the next seven to 10 days."

However, the team will evaluate how Peterson does in the pen as well as how Quintana performs to see if this is how they'll operate moving forward.

July 9, 3:11 p.m.

Denyi Reyes cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse, remaining in the Mets' organization after getting designated for assignment last Tuesday.

In 7 1/3 IP over six games (one start) with New York, the right-hander has pitched to a 6.14 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.

With Triple-A Syracuse, Reyes has posted a 6.97 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 41 1/3 IP over 11 games (nine starts).

July 6, 6:35 p.m.

The Mets announced Thursday that they have officially released RHP Chris Flexen after being designated for assignment earlier this week.

Flexen's contract was unique in that he could not be outrighted to the minors after clearing waivers without his consent, hence why he was outrighted.

The Mets acquired Flexen in a trade with the Mariners on Monday. The Amazin's acquired Flexen and right-hander Trevor Gott in exchanged for lefty Zack Muckenhirn.

The Mets will eat the remainder of the 29-year-old's salary.

July 4, 1:43 p.m.

The Amazins' made a myriad of moves before their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Namely, recently acquired reliever Trevor Gott was activated and will be available to pitch in the series opener.

DJ Stewart will also be in uniform on Tuesday as the outfielder was called up from Triple-A prior to the game.

Stewart played five seasons with the Orioles and has power from the left side as he has 26 home runs in 527 big-league at-bats. The 29-year-old had 16 home runs and a .878 OPS in 51 games for Syracuse this season.

To make room for Gott and Stewart, the Mets sent Jeff Brigham and Danny Mendick down to Triple-A. They also designated RHP Denyi Reyes for assignment.

July 3, 1:08 p.m.

RHP Elieser Hernandez has been reinstated from the IL after returning from his rehab assignment and was optioned to Triple-A.

The 28-year-old began the season on the IL with a right shoulder strain and has yet to throw a pitch for the Mets after getting traded by the Miami Marlins, along with RHP Jeff Brigham, during the offseason.

New York also designated LHP Zach Muckenhirn for assignment. The lefty appeared in three games for the Mets, pitching to a 6.00 ERA (2.17 WHIP) over six innings.

June 27, 4:30 p.m.

The Mets have officially called up David Peterson ahead of Tuesday night’s start against the Milwaukee Brewers.

After a strong spring training, the lefty cracked the starting rotation, but struggled mightily. Peterson recorded a 8.08 ERA, 1.74 WHIP, and allowed eight homers over his first eight starts of the year before being sent to Triple-A.

He now returns looking to right the ship.

In a corresponding roster move, Vinny Nittoli has been optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse. The right-hander didn't allow a run across two appearances this weekend in Philadelphia.

June 26, 4:35 p.m.

The Mets are calling up left-hander T.J. McFarland and optioning left-hander Josh Walker to Triple-A Syracuse prior to Monday's series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.

McFarland, 34, made 23 appearances out of the bullpen at Syracuse this season and allowed 12 runs (10 earned) on 30 hits in 32.2 innings good for a 2.76 ERA and 1.439 WHIP. He has walked 17 batters and struck out 37. He made 28 appearances for St. Louis a season ago and pitched to a 6.61 ERA (5.32 FIP) in 32.2 innings.

Walker is coming off a rough outing on Sunday in which he allowed one hit and walked two and was charged with three earned runs. Over seven games this season with the Mets he has allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits with six walks and five strikeouts in six innings. The 28-year-old appeared in six games in June during his second stint in Queens on the season. He has pitched to a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 innings at Triple-A in 2023.

McFarland overlapped with manager Buck Showalter in Baltimore from 2013-2016, beginning his career with the Orioles as a Rule 5 draft pick.

Relief pitcher Drew Smith was also reinstated from his 10-game suspension.

June 24, 11:24 a.m.

The Mets are recalling infielder Danny Mendick from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the vacant spot on the 26-man roster after trading Eduardo Escobar to the Los Angeles Angles on Friday, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.

In 68 games with Syracuse this season, the 29-year-old infielder has eight home runs and 35 RBI and slashed .264/.356/.401 for a .757 OPS in 317 plate appearances. He has walked 35 times to go along with 47 strikeouts. Mendick can play second base, third and shortstop.

Last season for the Chicago White Sox, Mendick slashed .289/.343/.443 with a .786 OPS and a 121 OPS+ in 31 games. He had eight extra-base hits and 15 RBI with seven walks and 23 strikeouts in 106 plate appearances before an ACL tear ended his 2022 season on June 22.

Mendick signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Mets in December 2022 after spending his entire in the White Sox organization. He hit .200/.259/.360 in 25 at-bats in the Grapefruit League this spring before being optioned to Triple-A ahead of Opening Day.

In 151 big league games over four seasons, Mendick has a career .251 batting average and a .675 OPS (85 OPS+) with 13 doubles, two triples, 10 home runs and 45 RBI.

Escobar was dealt (with cash considerations) for a pair of minor league pitchers, Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux, during the Mets' 5-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.

June 22, 8:05 p.m.

After struggling in his his last outing on Wednesday against the Houston Astros, the Mets have optioned RHP Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse.

Megill allowed four runs on four hits over just 2.1 IP with four walks and two strikeouts, but escaped with a no-decision in New York's 10-8 loss.

The 27-year-old has had an up-and-down season, going 6-4 with a 5.17 ERA over 15 starts with 58 strikeouts in 71.1 innings of work. Megill has pitched to a 6.68 ERA over his last seven starts (23 earned runs in 31.0 IP), going 2-2 in those outings.

In a corresponding move, New York is expected to call up right-hander Vinny Nittoli before Friday’s series opener against the Phillies, according to numerous reports.

The Mets acquired Nittoli from the Cubs in a deal earlier this month.

He has a 5.06 ERA across 5.1 innings with Syracuse so far but has recorded three consecutive scoreless outings. Overall on the season, Nittoli has a 3.81 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 21 appearances in Triple-A.

June 19, 3:45 p.m.

Prior to Monday's game against the Astros, the Mets optioned John Curtiss to Triple-A Syracuse and selected the contract of right-hander Grant Hartwig.

In 21 appearances with Syracuse this season, he has allowed 14 runs (12 earned) on 27 hits in 25.2 innings pitched for a 4.21 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. The 25-year-old has allowed three home runs and walked 15 batters while striking out 35. He has finished 11 games for the club and has recorded three saves.

Hartwig has been assigned the No. 93 jersey and his first appearance will be his major league debut. He joined the organization as a free agent signing out of college in 2021.

Curtiss, who has been back and forth between Syracuse and Queens this season, made two appearances in his latest stint with the big league club.

He allowed one run (a Jordan Walker homer) on two hits with one walk and a strikeout in 2.2 innings of work in Sunday's game. He has pitched to a 4.08 ERA (5.26 FIP) in 17.2 innings for the Mets in 2023.

June 18, 11:28 a.m.

The Mets announced first baseman Pete Alonso has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals and in a corresponding move, Mark Vientos has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

Vientos made 49 plate appearances in the majors since being called up on May 17 and slashed .178/.225/.244.

June 15, 2:15 p.m.

The Mets announced on Thursday that they’ve activated RHP Stephen Ridings from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

The Mets claimed Ridings off waivers from the Yankees this offseason. He was placed on the 60-day IL in early May due to a lat strain he suffered in spring training.

He's been working his way back since, and has thrown three rehab appearances with Low-A St. Lucie, including a perfect inning with a pair of strikeouts on Wednesday.

With the bullpen a bit shorthanded this week, Ridings could be making his Mets debut sooner rather than later.

The 27-year-old made his MLB debut last year with the Yankees, and he struck out seven while allowing just one run over five appearances.

June 13, 7:11 p.m.

The Mets announced prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Yankees that they have released RHP Tommy Hunter and outrighted Stephen Nogosek to Triple-A Syracuse.

The left-hander was released earlier this week by the Yankees, who took him in the 23rd round of the 2019 MLB draft out of Mercyhurst College.

Minnick spent the past two seasons in the minors with the Bombers, pitching to a 3.00 ERA and 1.07 WHIP while striking out 147 batters.

He's made just one appearance at Triple-A and struggled, but was dominant in Double-A last season. Minnick led the league with a stellar 0.74 WHIP and struck out 62 batters over 59.2 innings.

He is yet to pitch this season.

June 10, 1:10 p.m.

Following the Mets' 14-7 loss in Pittsburgh, the team announced Saturday that veteran right-hander Tommy Hunter had been designated for assignment and the recently recalled left-hander Zach Muckenhirn was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

In a pair of corresponding moves, right-hander John Curtiss and left-hander Josh Walker were both recalled from Triple-A.

Hunter struggled in his last two outings, pitching on both Thursday and Friday night, and allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits with three home runs in 2.2 innings. The 36-year-old appeared in 14 games this season and allowed 20 runs (18 earned) over 23.2 innings for a 6.85 ERA (5.77 FIP).

Muckenhirn allowed three runs on six hits in 2.1 innings in Friday's loss. He now has a 6.00 ERA in 6.0 innings of work this season for the Mets.

June 6, 3:30 p.m.

The Mets have signed left-hander Tyler Thomas to a minor league deal and assigned him to Double-A Binghamton.

The 27-year-old southpaw posted a 0.90 ERA and struck out 34 batters across 15 appearances this season with the Gastonia Honey Hunters in the Atlantic League.

Prior to that, Thomas spent five seasons in the Texas Rangers organization and reached as high as Triple-A. He pitched to a 3.78 ERA and struck out 263 batters in that span.

June 3, 1:50 p.m.

Additionally, Vinny Nittoli, who was recently acquired from the Chicago Cubs, was added to the 40-man roster and he was also sent to Syracuse. 

June 2, 9:05 a.m.

The Mets acquired right-handed pitcher Vinny Nittoli from the Chicago Cubs organization, according to multiple reports.

The Mets will add the 32-year-old to their 40-man roster, but he can be optioned to the minor leagues, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reported. Nittoli had exercised an opt-out clause on his minor league deal with the Cubs leading to the trade.

Nittoli has appeared in just three games at the big league level, one in 2021 with Seattle and two in 2022 with Philadelphia. He allowed two runs on one hit (a home run) over three innings with two strikeouts, three walks and a hit batter.

In 16 appearances with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs this season, the right-hander has allowed 12 runs (eight earned) on 18 hits in 20.2 innings for a 3.48 ERA. He got tagged for two home runs and walked seven while striking out 22 with a 1.210 WHIP.

May 30, 3:15 p.m.

The Mets have made an addition to their Triple-A depth, acquiring 1B/3B Tyler White from the Minnesota Twins.

White last appeared at the big-league level back in 2019 with the Dodgers and Astros. Across 256 career MLB games, he has 26 home runs and a .752 OPS.

Through 16 games down in Triple-A this season, White's slashing .259/.386/.414 with two homers and three doubles. The Mets have assigned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

The Mets welcome Carlos Carrasco back to the roster as he starts for New York on Friday. To make room for their veteran starter, they optioned LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A Syracuse.

Walker made just one appearance for the Mets this season, May 16 against the Rays, where he pitched an inning and allowed two walks.

The 28-year-old was a non-roster invitee but made the roster and got sent to Syracuse after he finished spring training.

Additionally, RHP Jimmy Yacabonis was reinstated from the IL and designated for assignment.

May 16, 4:11 p.m.

Prior to Tuesday night’s series opener with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Mets optioned David Peterson to Triple-A Syracuse.

After a breakout 2022 season, and strong spring showing, many expected Peterson to be strong depth for the Mets’ starting rotation. That, however, has not been the case so far in 2023.

Peterson has struggled mightily through eight starts, posting an 8.08 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. In his most recent outing, Monday against the Nationals, he allowed six runs over five innings.

With Carlos Carrasco set to rejoin the rotation later this week, Peterson can go back down to Triple-A and work through his kinks.

In a corresponding roster move, the Mets have recalled Josh Walker from Syracuse. The 28-year-old lefty has a 0.68 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through nine appearances this season.

May 14, 11:18 p.m.

The Mets announced prior to Sunday’s doubleheader that they’ve recalled right-hander Dennis Santana from Triple-A.

Santana presumably will help provide the Mets with depth in Game 1 of the double-dip, which will be picked up in the top of the third. In seven big league appearances this season, he has a 7.04 ERA.

In a bit of an interesting corresponding roster move, the Mets have sent Joey Lucchesi down to Syracuse.

The left-hander is the "current" active pitcher in this afternoon’s suspended game. Lucchesi allowed one run on four hits across two innings of work prior to the game being called.

Seth Elledge has been designated for assignment to make room for Santana on the 40-Man roster.

May 1, 4:45 p.m.

Between games of Monday's doubleheader, the Mets selected the contract of left-handed relief pitcher Zach Muckenhirn from Triple-A Syracuse.

In six appearances for Syracuse this season, Muckenhirn has allowed just one run on 10 hits in 11.2 innings pitched (0.77 ERA) while walking four and striking out four.

In a corresponding move, right-hander Denyi Reyes was optioned back to Syracuse. Reyes struggled in his start in Game 1, allowing five runs in one inning.

The Mets also transferred RHP Stephen Ridings to the 60-day Injured List.

April 30, 2:21 p.m.

After Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves was rained out, the Mets announced right-hander Jose Butto's option to Triple-A Syracuse.

A corresponding move was not immediately announced.

The 25-year-old has made two starts for the Mets this season, pitching to a 2.79 ERA over his 9.2 innings.

April 29, 4:55 p.m.

Inclement weather stopped the Mets from playing Saturday, but the team announced right-handed reliever Adam Ottavino was reinstated from the paternity list.

In a corresponding move, the Mets optioned David Peterson to Triple-A Syracuse. The left-hander struggled to start the season. In six starts, he had allowed 25 runs (all earned) on 38 hits over 30.2 innings for a 7.34 ERA (5.37 FIP).

Peterson only walked 10 and struck out 36 during that span, but he was stung for eight home runs, nearly equaling his total of 11 from a season ago and in less than a third as many innings pitched.

April 27, 2:40 p.m.

Veteran reliever Adam Ottavino has been placed on the paternity list, with the Mets recalling RHP Denyi Reyes from Triple-A Syracuse.

In 11 games, Ottavino has a 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 11 strikeouts over 10.0 IP this season.

Reyes, 26, has appeared in five games for the Mets this year and has tossed 6.1 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and just three hits allowed.

April 6, 2:35 p.m.

The Mets have claimed right-handed pitcher Edwin Uceta off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates, while transferring reliever Sam Coonrod to the 60-day Injured List.

Uceta, 25, has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

The right-hander has 24 career big league appearances, including 14 games with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021 and 10 games with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2022, pitching to a career 6.27 ERA.

Coonrod, dealing with a high-grade lat strain, was originally placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to March 27.
