Mets Select Rob Zastryzny

By Mark Polishuk | August 20, 2022 at 5:33pm CDT

The Mets made a few roster moves in between games of their doubleheader with the Phillies, as left-hander Rob Zastryzny’s contract has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse.  In other transactions, left-hander Sam Clay was optioned to Triple-A, while recently-designated right-hander R.J. Alvarez was outrighted to Syracuse after clearing waivers.

Zastryzny pitched 34 2/3 innings for the Cubs over parts of the 2016-18 seasons, and has since bounced around with three other MLB organizations (Dodgers, Orioles, Marlins) and the independent Long Island Ducks before joining the Mets back in May.  The 30-year-old has made a solid accounting of himself in Syracuse, with a 3.61 ERA, 28.4% strikeout rate, and 9.1% walk rate in 47 1/3 Triple-A innings, starting six of his 26 games.

While the Mets’ bullpen has been good overall, left-handed batters have found some success against the team, in part due to New York’s lack of southpaw relievers.  Joely Rodriguez has been the only left-handed constant in the relief corps all season, so if Zastryzny is able to even come close to his Syracuse numbers, he could earn himself a longer look in his return to the big leagues.

    I’m assuming Zastryzny will be a spot starter tomorrow? They currently have no one slated due to Walker needing a few more days rest. Clay pitched in the 1st game today and would probably be unavailable for the 2nd. This gives Zastryzny time to get to Philly and get ready.

    I don’t think they plan on using Zastryzny as a reliever for any length of time like the article implies.

      Jose Butto is the spot starter.

      Whelp, never mind. Zastryzny is in the game right now. I clearly don’t know what I’m talking about.

    If he’s not the final word in relief pitching, he’s at least might be the final name alphabetically.

    Joely wasn’t the only LHP out of the pen all year for the NYM. Not that he pitched great, but Chasen Shreve opened the season in the Mets bullpen alongside Joely.

      Joely was the only constant LHP in the bullpen.
