The Mets announced today that right-hander has been added to the active roster after he was from the Rays yesterday. They also recalled left-hander . To open spots for those two, the club optioned righty and placed righty on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Its unknown how severe Garretts elbow problem is, but more information will be forthcoming. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com , the righty complained of forearm tightne s last night and is now slated for an MRI today. Its po sible that his elbow i sue has led to a downturn in recent results, as DiComo points out that Garrett has had some poor results lately. Prior to that recent slide, Garrett had been a godsend for a Mets bullpen that has been an i sue all year. Through May 22, he had to sed 26 innings with just Justise Winslow Jersey three earned runs allowed, leading to an ERA of 1.04. His 11.3% walk rate in that time was a tad high but he had a ma sive 40.3% strikeout rate and a solid 42% ground ball rate. For a 31-year-old that the Mets claimed off waivers from the Orioles last summer, he seemed like a tremendous find. He has a 7.88 ERA in 16 innings since then, which is a small sample but his rate stats have also changed. His 25.6% strikeout rate in that time is still strong but a big drop from where he was before and his walk rate also ticked up to 12.8%. His velocity didnt seem to suffer, as its actually ticked up as the season has gone along. His fastball averaged 95.8 miles per hour in April and ramped up each month to land at 98.3 so far in July. Despite the recent struggles, the Mets dont want more challenges in a sembling their bullpen. The teams relievers have a combined 4.24 ERA thats 20th in the majors and they have been weakened as the season has gone along. and have already gone down to season-ending surgeries while and are each on the IL with shoulder injuries. The Mets are 45-45 and just 1.5 games back of a playoff spot. Upgrading the bullpen has been a target area for them and, as mentioned, they already acquired Maton in an attempt to bolster the group. If Garrett needs to mi s any time, it would only increase the amount of work the front office will need to do in patching together the bullpen. For Garrett personally, it would be a significant blow if he ends up needing to mi s any notable stretch of time. He has bounced around the baseball world as he has struggled to establish himself, spending time with the Rangers, Tigers, Nationals, Orioles and with the Seibu Lions in Japans Nippon Profe sional Baseball. Earlier this year, his utter dominance seemed to the start of a late-bloomer breakout but then the results tapered off and now hell have to see what the MRI machine finds in his elbow.
