The New York Mets are making a strategic move to bolster their pitching staff as they prepare for Saturday’s matchup against the Miami Marlins. In a decision reported by The Athletic’s Will Sammon, the team is set to option right-handed pitcher Tobias Myers, leaving the identity of his replacement yet to be determined.
Myers, who has one option remaining according to Fangraphs, has been a valuable addition to manager Carlos Mendoza’s bullpen since being acquired in the trade that brought Freddy Peralta from the Milwaukee Brewers. However, his recent performances have left something to be desired.
In Friday night’s 9-7 extra-inning victory, the Mets had to rely on seven pitchers, underscoring the need for fresh arms. Myers faced a challenging outing, giving up a critical two-run homer to Owen Caissie in the eighth inning. His struggles continued from a previous appearance, where he allowed a run on two hits against the Cincinnati Reds.
Over his last five games, Myers has surrendered five runs on seven hits across 5.2 innings, while his overall numbers reflect a 4.05 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP in 20 appearances totaling 33.1 innings pitched. This season, he has also recorded 26 strikeouts and converted one save, but the Mets will be hoping for a turnaround from their bullpen as they navigate the final stretch of the season.
