Overview

  • Left-hander Anderson Severino had his contract purchased late Monday, then was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, placing him on the Mets’ 40-man as a near-term bullpen candidate.
  • Right-hander Clay Holmes went to the 60-day injured list with a fractured right fibula, and he is expected to be out until about August.
  • The Mets designated outfielder Austin Slater for assignment and recalled 23-year-old Nick Morabito from Syracuse, setting up Morabito for his MLB debut.
  • Moving a player to the 60-day injured list frees a 40-man roster spot, which the Mets used to keep Severino in the organization without an immediate call-up.
  • Severino, 31, has a 1.04 ERA over 17 1/3 innings at Syracuse this year and last appeared in MLB with the White Sox in 2022, while the 40-man now sits at 39 with an opening the club plans to use on prospect Zach Thornton as soon as Wednesday.
