Mets Call Up Pitchers Amid Injuries, Roster Changes

The New York Mets are facing a significant bullpen depth crisis due to a series of injuries, particularly among left-handed relievers, prompting the team to make several roster moves and call-ups from Triple-A Syracuse. With A.J. Minter and Danny Young sidelined, the Mets relied on Brandon Waddell, who recently made his first MLB appearance in nearly four years after stints abroad and has pitched effectively as a starter in the minors. To further bolster the bullpen, Génesis Cabrera and Ty Adcock were also called up, while Minter and Frankie Montas were moved to the 60-day injured list. Additionally, the Mets designated Jose Ureña for assignment and moved Sean Manaea to the 60-day IL to clear roster space, bringing up Kevin Herget as well. These moves reflect the club's ongoing efforts to manage pitching depth and keep the staff competitive despite mounting injuries. The Mets' rotation remains strong, but with continued absences, internal promotions and strategic signings are proving essential to maintaining their early-season momentum.
