The New York Mets have made another round of adjustments to their pitching staff, reshaping their roster with several moves designed to add depth and address recent injuries and performance concerns.
The club announced that right-handed pitchers Xzavion Curry and Tobias Myers have been promoted to the Major League roster, while right-hander Austin Warren has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right forearm strain. In another move, the Mets designated right-handed pitcher Matt Seelinger for assignment, creating additional roster flexibility.
The organization also provided an update on reliever Dedniel Núñez, transferring his rehabilitation assignment from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse as he continues working his way back from injury.
The latest transactions highlight the ongoing challenges the Mets have faced with their pitching depth. Since the beginning of the 2025 season, New York has relied on an unusually large number of pitchers, using 61 different arms, the most in Major League Baseball during that span. Seelinger became the latest example of that constant roster movement after receiving a brief opportunity at the Major League level.
The 31-year-old journeyman pitcher was thrust into a difficult situation during his MLB debut, entering a tied game against the Kansas City Royals with the score at 9-9. Unfortunately, the outing quickly unraveled as Seelinger surrendered seven earned runs over two innings, resulting in his removal from the roster shortly afterward.
While his first Major League appearance did not go as planned, Seelinger’s brief stint reflected the Mets’ continued search for reliable bullpen options during a demanding season.
Replacing him on the roster is Xzavion Curry, a 27-year-old right-hander who joined the Mets organization earlier this season on a minor league contract. Curry has spent most of the year with Triple-A Syracuse, where he has worked primarily as a starting pitcher.
In 10 appearances with Syracuse, Curry has thrown 49.1 innings, recording a 4.74 ERA and a 5.68 FIP. Although his numbers have been inconsistent, the Mets value his experience, versatility, and ability to provide innings in both starting and relief roles.
The Mets also recalled Tobias Myers, a pitcher who entered the organization with significant expectations after arriving in the offseason trade that sent prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for Myers and All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta.
Myers was viewed as a valuable addition because of his previous success and potential upside, but his first season with New York has been uneven. The right-hander has moved between the Mets and Triple-A Syracuse while searching for consistency.
At the Major League level this season, Myers has struggled, posting a 6.21 ERA and a 4.93 FIP across 42 innings. However, the Mets remain interested in giving him additional opportunities to develop and regain the form that made him an attractive acquisition.
The roster changes also come after Warren’s recent struggles. Before his injury, the right-hander had been one of the more dependable members of the Mets bullpen, showing strong command and effectiveness earlier in the season.
However, Warren’s numbers took a hit after a rough appearance against the Royals. He currently owns a 4.63 ERA and a 4.66 FIP across 35 innings. Before his recent decline, Warren had been pitching much better, carrying a 2.45 ERA and demonstrating the ability to handle important situations.
The Mets are hopeful that his time on the injured list will allow him to recover and return closer to the pitcher he was earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, Núñez continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery, an injury that interrupted what had been one of the most promising relief careers within the Mets organization. Before undergoing surgery, Núñez emerged as one of New York’s most effective bullpen weapons and a potential long-term piece of the pitching staff.
His rehabilitation progress has been encouraging, and the Mets are expected to evaluate him for a Major League return later this season. However, because Núñez still has a minor league option remaining, the team could choose to keep him with Syracuse after his rehab assignment ends, especially if the bullpen remains crowded.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Mets are expected to continue evaluating their pitching options. Additional roster changes could occur if the organization decides to move veteran relievers, creating opportunities for pitchers like Curry, Myers, and Núñez to earn larger roles.
For now, the Mets’ latest moves reflect an ongoing effort to stabilize a pitching staff that has faced injuries, inconsistency, and constant turnover throughout the season.
