Mets Make Last-Minute Changes to Roster as They Pull off Late-Inning Comeback against Nationals

On Tuesday, the Mets staged an impressive comeback against the Nationals, erasing a late 2-0 deficit before scoring five runs in the 10th inning to secure a 7-2 victory. Despite missing the previous game due to a fainting spell, Brandon Nimmo came off the bench to deliver two crucial hits.

Unfortunately, Harrison Bader had to leave the game early after crashing into the center field fence, but he expressed hope that he would be able to play in the next game. J.D. Martinez was a late scratch from the lineup due to a sore ankle, which he attributed to a new pair of cleats. Despite this setback, he plans to return to action soon.

Pitcher Sean Reid-Foley is making progress in his recovery from a shoulder impingement, but it is unlikely that he will be back on the field before the All-Star break. The Mets made a roster move by calling up Jose Butto and sending Tyler Jay down to Triple-A Syracuse.

With the bullpen facing some challenges, there are three relievers from Syracuse that the Mets could potentially bring up to help out. Additionally, some fans are calling for top prospect Luisangel Acuña to be called up to the majors.

The Mets had six prospects named on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list, including Brandon Sproat. On The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, hosts Connor and Joe discuss the team’s recent success, trade value of prospect Brett Baty, and other Mets-related topics.
