UPDATE: The New York Mets have just announced a significant roster change, demoting struggling relief pitcher Huascar Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse and recalling Chris Devenski in a bid to bolster their bullpen. This decision comes after Brazoban’s alarming performance, which has seen his ERA surge to 8.50 since June 2.
Earlier today, the Mets confirmed that Brazoban, 35, was optioned following a rough outing against the San Diego Padres, where he allowed three consecutive RBI singles and threw a wild pitch in just two-thirds of an inning. Despite starting the season strong with a 1.34 ERA through May, his recent struggles have raised concerns for the Mets’ pitching staff as they aim for a playoff spot.
In contrast, Devenski, 34, has demonstrated consistent performance during his time with the Mets, holding a solid 2.38 ERA across 10 relief appearances this season. His experience and reliability are expected to provide immediate support for a team under pressure to perform.
This roster shake-up comes at a critical time for the Mets, who are seeking to regain momentum in the competitive National League East. Fans and analysts are keenly watching how this change will impact the team’s performance as the season progresses.
As the Mets navigate this transition, all eyes will be on Devenski to deliver crucial innings while Brazoban seeks to reclaim his form in Triple-A. The urgency of this decision underscores the high stakes as the team strives to improve their standing in the league.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
