[Steve Drumwright]

 

The shuttle to Syracuse continues to refresh the New York Mets' bullpen.

Right-hander Tobias Myers was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, with right-hander Joey Gerber called up in advance of the three-game road series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Myers pitched three innings Sunday in the Mets' 5-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Myers, acquired from the Brewers in the Freddy Peralta deal this offseason, allowed three runs on six hits with no walks and three strikeouts. For the season, Myers has a 4.91 FIP (6.21 ERA) in 21 appearances, including three starts, with a 6.7% walk rate and 17.8% strikeout rate. He also has allowed eight homers in 42 innings.

Gerber is up for the fourth time this season, but has only pitched in five innings over three games, allowing one run on five hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

Good riddance! 

Gerber will be around for two days until he gets demoted again.
