Mets Announce Series Of Roster Moves

By Darragh McDonald | May 21, 2022 at 1:12pm CDT

The Mets announced to reporters, including Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, a series of roster moves prior to today’s doubleheader. Max Scherzer is going on the 15-day IL and infielder Gosuke Katoh has been optioned to Triple-A. Going in the other direction, Starling Marte has been activated from the bereavement list, righty Jake Reed has been recalled, along with fellow righty Adonis Medina joining the roster as the club’s 27th man for the twin bill.

Scherzer’s placement on the injured list is the most notable yet least surprising part of all this, as it’s already been reported that he will be out for 6-8 weeks due to an oblique strain. With Scherzer out of the picture, the club’s rotation will likely consist of Chris Bassitt, Taijuan Walker, Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Williams and David Peterson. In the next couple of weeks, they’re likely to get Tylor Megill back into the mix, with some combination of those six aiming to keep the train on the tracks until Scherzer and/or Jacob deGrom can get back on the mound later in the summer. The club is off to a tremendous 26-14 start and has built up a 7 1/2 game lead in the NL East, though their depth will now be tested in the weeks to come.

It’s also possible that the club could need another arm to get through this week, as last night’s snowed-out game in the Rocky Mountains has been pushed into today’s doubleheader. The Mets will now be playing six games in the next five days. Medina could eat some innings as a long man, though he hasn’t topped three innings in any appearance this season, either in the majors or the minors. Thomas Szapucki started last night’s game in Triple-A but threw only 12 pitches in one inning, perhaps indicating that the club wants to save his arm for a showing with the big league team this week.

    Szapucki is an under the radar prospect after being derailed by some injuries. Still great potential. If the Mets are going to weather this storm, Szapucki could be just what the doctor ordered.

        Possible considering the D-backs have fallen off a cliff. I’m not sure how the financials work out though.

      I like it. See what they’d have to give up for MadBum. If it’s too steep, go hard after Castillo.

      Hard to see them committing that much salary if they’re planning to make sure they keep deGrom in the fold. I highly doubt Arizona would eat that much of his contract and/or take Escobar. He’s the only one I could see the Mets willing to give up that would offset some of it.

        I guess either Arizona would have to just eat money (can they do that?) and the prospect haul would be huge. Or the Mets get him at low prospect cost but live with a 300 million plus payroll for two years or so. Probably easier deals to make.

    Nate Eovaldi, Red Sox you may have to take on JD Martinez as part of a deal. Luis Castillo, Reds you may have to take on Joey Votto. Ian Happ, + Willson Contreras, Cubs C

      @al hirschen I think if they make that move with CIN, it would be Moose they would want us to take off their hands…and probably Heyward from CHC… As for Martinez, he’s a free agent at seasons end. Not a burdensome deal at all

        The only reason I put Votto was his $. Contreras was the need for a catcher. Could say the same with Zack Greinke and Salvador Pérez of the Royals

          Votto can block any deal and has consistently said he intends to stay in Cincinnati.

          No way the Mets take Moustakas back unless Castillo is free. That’s how bad the big dumb Moose is.

          Yea I agree I was just saying if that was the kind of deal we were looking to swing – take a bad contract to lessen a prospect load, those are the kinds of situations those teams would want

    Looks like Reed and Medina are the next potential victims Mets induced pitcher death.
