Dillon Gee of New York Mets headed to disabled list - ESPN New York

NEW YORK --(5/14)-- Left-hander Josh Edgin has been dispatched to New York, although it is unclear if he will be activated, a source told ESPNNewYork.com.

The reliever was 3-0 with a 4.97 ERA in 17 appearances for Triple-A Las Vegas. He had allowed 16 hits and 11 walks while striking out 12 in 12 2/3 innings.

Edgin is on the temporary inactive list with Vegas. He has been in Charlotte for the birth of a child.

Edgin was an early cut from big-league camp during spring training.

Mets come back to Citi and can't do anything offensively......lol
Murphy's single in the 1st is their lone hit.
2-0 Yanks after 4.

Montero has decent stuff, but he has trouble closing out innings...and his pitch count is too high.
Both runs scored w/ 2 outs.....the 1st was a 2 out walk and rbi triple (bad play by EY in LF)..and the 2nd was a 2 out solo HR by Solarte.
Montero struckout Derek Jeter for his 1st career K in the bigs.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Solo shot Teixeira ....3-0

Funny how all visiting teams can hit at Citifield...

When will MLB test Gardner, Solarte & Teixeira for PED's?

Farnsworth outrighted....d'Arnaud could land on the DL (concussion)...Centeno called up.

Kyle Farnsworth cut by New York Mets; 'very bitter right now' - ESPN New York

NEW YORK -- At first, Travis d'Arnaud seemed to come out of his encounter with Alfonso Soriano's bat with nothing more than a slight headache.



Wednesday, the New York Mets began to have concerns that it could be something more serious. And now there's a real chance that d'Arnaud could be heading for baseball's seven-day concussion disabled list.

d'Arnaud passed initial concussion tests Tuesday night, after Soriano inadvertently hit him on the helmet with his backswing in a ninth-inning at-bat. The Mets catcher even remained in the game to catch the final out.

But d'Arnaud was still feeling the effects of the hit Wednesday, and when he felt more symptoms after going through workouts at Citi Field, the Mets decided to administer further concussion tests. Manager Terry Collins said Wednesday night that d'Arnaud will have another test on Thursday.

"I'm a little concerned about him," Collins said.

The Mets have summoned catcher Juan Centeno from Triple-A Las Vegas. While Centeno has not yet been added to the roster, the Mets want him available in case d'Arnaud goes on the DL.

Really guy?


Anyways, Tanaka pitched a gem last night. 4 hit shutout, as expected.

And was nice to see Granderson play well again in the Bronx.

Morning Briefing: Hello deGrom, bye Jeter - Mets Blog - ESPN New York

NEW YORK -- The Mets officially have filled Kyle Farnsworth's bullpen spot by promoting left-hander Josh Edgin.

Edgin
Edgin, who will wear No. 66, gives the Mets a second left-hander in the bullpen alongside Scott Rice.

His velocity down, Edgin had been among the first cuts of spring training from big-league camp.

He had just been in Charlotte and away from Triple-A Las Vegas for the birth of his child.

Edgin, 27, posted a 3-0 record, two saves and a 4.97 ERA in 17 appearances with the 51s. He has contributed seven straight scoreless appearances, although opponents have a .327 batting average against him for the season and he has allowed 16 hits and 11 walks in 12 2/3 inning

NEW YORK -- (5/15)-- The Mets plan to use Jenrry Mejia as the closer on Thursday night should they have a late and close lead. And Terry Collins believes over time Mejia will emerge as the regular closer.


Jenrry Mejia

#58 SP
New York Mets

2014 STATS

• GM 8
• W 4
• L 0
• BB 20
• K 40
• ERA 4.89

Still, Collins said Mejia cannot be anointed to the role yet because the 24-year-old right-hander is not ready to pitch on consecutive days.

Mejia has not worked on back-to-back days at any professional level since June 5-6, 2010 -- his last time as a reliever in the majors.

Mejia is transitioning from a starting role to relief. He had a wonderful first appearance back in the bullpen, recording four outs at Yankee Stadium on Monday, hours after learning he had lost his rotation spot.

“If we felt he was ready to go back-to-back days, possibly three days in a row, he would be the guy. But he is not at that stage yet,” Collins said.

Four different Mets have recorded saves this season: the newly dumped Kyle Farnsworth (three), Jose Valverde (two), Carlos Torres (one) and Daisuke Matsuzaka (one). Planned closer Bobby Parnell landed on the disabled list after Opening Day and subsequently underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery.

“We’re going to designate each day a guy that we’re going to lean towards. Tonight would be Mejia, but we’re not naming him the closer,” Collins said. “With Jose pitching two innings last night, we thought we’d go to a guy who we knew would be good and fresh. So Jenrry would be that guy tonight.”
