The Mets are recalling right-hander Robert Stock to start today’s game against the Marlins, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Fellow righty Jonathan Pintaro is being optioned to Triple-A in his place. Meanwhile, right-hander Bryce Conley is being selected to the 40-man roster, with Kevin Herget being designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
It’s a quick exit for Herget, whose contract the Mets just selected yesterday. The righty set the Marlins down in order in the top of the ninth inning, though the Mets lost the game 6-2. As is typical with these moves, Herget was brought up for that lone appearance, and now he’s designated to bring in a fresh arm. Pintaro, who threw 43 pitches in two innings of relief ahead of Herget, gets optioned for similar reasons.
More to come.
