Our new call-up. Don't know that much about him (is he even on the 40, and if not, who get's the boot?), but he's worked his way through the system slowly (he's 27, and pitched in Brooklyn six years ago) and has good K/BB ratios (around 5) over the past two season in Bingo and Vegas.

He can't possibly hurt.

Give him like three innings the next few days and I'm sure he'll come down with something.

If he goes directly to the 60 day DL, do you need to create a roster spot for him?

Quick look at Edge's handy roster thread, no.
They wouldn't have the melons to (finally) rid themselves of Reyes. Would they?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Of course, it would be a pitcher though... pardon my hair trigger.

Not necessarily. They'd LOVE a fourteen-man staff.

Both Frazier and Flores would have to return before they would cut Reyes. We've got a few more weeks of groundouts to second.

The devil is in the details.

He looks kinda like Hansel Robles, except that his head isn't turned backward, reflexively wondering if the last pitch will land in the upper deck, or merely the bullpens.

From Tim Britton in The Athletic... this is our favorite team at work!

The Mets technically played Tuesday’s game a man short, with only 24 active players. They did not make a corresponding move to Syndergaard’s placement on the DL. ... As mentioned above, the Mets entered the game with four available relievers, behind a starter averaging fewer than five frames per start and on a night when the forecast was shaky. (The game was delayed by 41 minutes at the start.) Matz leaving early was a worst-case scenario, but so was the game going to extra innings, or a rain delay forcing a pitcher out of the game prematurely. These were not unforeseeable. “Obviously that would have been nice,” Callaway said of calling up another arm for Tuesday’s game. “We just couldn’t do it. The timing of it with Vegas, we just couldn’t get a guy here.” ... Las Vegas’ geographic distance from the National League East poses obvious problems. But the club knew Syndergaard was experiencing soreness in his index finger after his side session on Monday afternoon. It knew it had another game that night started by Conlon and a shaky forecast for Tuesday with the potential for interruption. New York should be accustomed to the proactive thinking required by having a Triple-A affiliate so far away. This is the second time this season the Mets have played with only 24 in uniform.

Tim Peterson: 2012 draft choice, round 20, part of the new breed of Washingtonian Mets.

A righthander, almost exclusively a reliever, who didn't show much in the short-season leagues, but came into his own the last three seasons, including a devastating 1.14 ERA over 55 1/3 innings for Bingo in 2017. ERA lies! But the peripherals support that he was pretty killer. And he's had shorter but equally eye-popping stretches of unhittability in St. Lucie and Columbia. Followed up last fall by going to Arizona and giving up a single run in 10 1/3 innings in the AFL.

Gets his share of strikeouts despite below average velocity Or at least he used to. He picked up an 80-game PED suspension along the way, so maybe he's gassed that up a little. His ERA is in the mid-3.00s in Vegas, but (a) it's Vegas, and ( he's striking out 40% of his batters and walking only 5%, so he was gonna arrive one way or another. He doesn't have a particularly high ground ball rate, but he keeps the ball in the park.

Beyond that, I don't know what you're gonna see, except that it's 6'1" and manly.

He's not on the 40, but the obvious answer is to move Lagares to the 60-day.
