The Mets kept shuffling their pitching staff, and this latest round brought two right-handers to the majors while another landed on the injured list.
Xzavion Curry and Tobias Myers were called up, Austin Warren was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain, and Matt Seelinger was designated for assignment. Meanwhile, Dedniel Núñez had his rehab assignment moved from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse.
Seelinger’s brief stay was a rough one. He became the 61st pitcher the Mets have used since the start of the 2025 season, the highest total in baseball, and his lone appearance was a nightmare: the 31-year-old journeyman entered a 9-9 game and allowed seven earned runs over two innings in his major league debut.
Curry, 27, joined the organization on a minor league deal earlier this season. He has made 10 appearances in Syracuse, working as a starter and logging 49.1 innings with a 4.74 ERA and a 5.68 FIP.
Myers arrived in the offseason trade that sent Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to Milwaukee as part of the deal for Freddy Peralta. Since then, he has moved between Syracuse and the majors, and this year he owns a 6.21 ERA and a 4.93 FIP across 42.0 big-league innings.
Warren had been trending in the right direction before things unraveled in his outing against the Royals last night. That performance pushed him to a 4.63 ERA and a 4.66 FIP over 35.0 innings. His second-to-last outing before going on the IL also went poorly, though prior to that stretch he had been sitting on a 2.45 ERA and a 4.06 FIP.
Núñez is still working back from Tommy John surgery. Before the injury, he had emerged as one of the Mets’ best relief pitching breakouts in recent years. He should get a look in the majors at some point this season, but because he still has an option left, he could remain in Syracuse after the rehab assignment ends, at least until the Mets begin moving other relievers off the active roster.

Mets Fans May Need To Rethink Their Brandon Nimmo Anger
The offseason decision to move Brandon Nimmo was always going to linger around Citi Field, especially with the Mets trying to reshape the roster and create more room for younger players to emerge. Marcus Semien has been part of that equation, but the bigger point for the Mets has been whether the change actually helped the lineup and the broader plan for the season.
So far, the answer has been complicated, with Semiens production drawing its own scrutiny while Nimmo has remained a familiar reference point for frustrated fans. The chants for Nimmo during a recent loss said plenty about the mood in the ballpark, and they also underscored how much this trade still hangs over the Mets as they sort out what comes next.

Mets Fans Have Seen This Cristian Pache Story Too Many Times
Cristian Pache has been in this spot before, and it is starting to feel familiar for Mets fans who have watched him flash enough to stay interesting without quite forcing the issue. After a strong spring, he still wound up back in the minors, and the Mets have continued to lean on other outfield options when injuries open the door to major league playing time.
At Triple-A Syracuse, the results have been uneven enough to keep the conversation going but not strong enough to change it, with limited offense and plenty of swing-and-miss across a sizable sample. The Mets have preferred other players for those opportunities, and even if Pache remains on the radar, the path back may be more about depth and timing than a sudden breakthrough. [Read more 🡒]
Mets Made Another Pitching Shuffle Fans Need To See
The Mets latest win came with a familiar kind of late-game jolt, as they broke through for five runs with two outs in the eighth to beat the Royals 6-2. Brett Baty came through in the big spot with a bases-loaded hit that drove in two runs, and the finish only added to a night that already had a busy feel around the roster.
Before the first pitch, the club added Xzavion Curry and Tobias Myers to help stabilize the pitching mix, and more help may be on the way with Dan Hammer reportedly headed up as well. The shuffle comes as the staff tries to absorb another injury hit and keep the bullpen moving in the right direction, a reminder that even after a win like this, the Mets are still managing more than just the scoreboard.
