Overview
- The Mets sent reliever Tobias Myers back to Triple‑A Syracuse after continued struggles at the major‑league level, where he has a 6.14 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 25 appearances this season.
- Right‑hander Dan Hammer was added to the big‑league roster with his major‑league debut expected after a strong minor‑league run that includes a 2.16 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across Double‑A and Triple‑A.
- Outfielder Jared Oliva was designated for assignment to clear a 40‑man roster spot for Hammer, removing a depth option from the club’s bench.
- The transactions are part of ongoing roster churn as the Mets sit 39–54 with a 4.38 team ERA and search internally for reliable pitching before deciding how to approach the August trade deadline.
- Myers’s demotion also recalls his offseason origin in the Freddy Peralta trade and highlights the front office’s short‑term testing of internal arms before making larger roster moves.
