Mets Place Brad Brach, Jared Hughes On IL

By Connor Byrne | July 15, 2020 at 5:11pm CDT

The Mets have placed relievers Brad Brach and Jared Hughes on the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic was among those to report. The team didn’t provide a reason in either case, but neither player has reported to Summer Camp yet.

Brach had great success with the Orioles and Braves earlier in his career, but his production took a negative turn in 2019 as a member of the Cubs. After signing a one-year, $3MM deal in free agency, he slumped to a 6.13 ERA and a bloated 6.4 BB/9 in 39 2/3 innings, leading the Cubs to release him in August. Brach then caught on with the Mets, with whom he tossed 14 2/3 innings of 3.68 ERA ball and posted 9.2 K/9 against 1.8 BB/9. That was enough for New York to bring him back on a one-year, $850K with a 2021 club option.

Hughes, meanwhile, just joined the Mets last month, signing a major league deal worth a prorated $700K. The former Pirate, Brewer, Red and Phillie brings a strong track record of preventing runs and keeping the ball on the ground, though his 4.04 ERA and 5.29 FIP from a year ago rank among the worst of his career.

Both Brach and Hughes have eaten up quite a bit of innings in recent years, and the Mets likely had similar plans for them entering this season. Now, though, it’s now unknown if or when they’ll be ready to go. However, the Mets do still have several well-established late-game arms they’ll be able to call on, including Dellin Betances, Seth Lugo, Edwin Diaz, Jeurys Familia, Justin Wilson and Robert Gsellman.

      It’s corona virus not a injury. And look who got sick. It should really affect the Mets as much. Still wishing anyone who gets the virus. A brave or met. A speedy recovery…

        Perhaps looking into the word “karma” would help to start-

        Ofc theres no correlation, but their sure is irony if you saw the Braves thread a couple days ago

    If it’s Corona related, hopefully they are better within the quarantine period. Otherwise, Mets have enough depth to cover those injuries.

    Great year for the Braves? Conner, Brach was terrible with Braves. Have you watched any Braves games? Next you’ll write Gausmann was a great trade.

      Brach posted a 1.52/3.12 ERA/FIP with Atlanta. Maybe you should fact check before attacking the writer

    It was over a short span of 27 games. If he was great they would have re signed him. Very average reliever.
    Wags You okay with this….
