​The Mets have announced another wave of roster moves as they continue to shuffle their bullpen and depth options. Right-handed pitchers Xzavion Curry and Tobias Myers have been called up, while fellow right-hander Austin Warren has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain. In a related move, right-handed pitcher Matt Seelinger has been designated for assignment. Dedniel Núñez, another right-handed option in the organization, is transferring his rehab assignment from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse.
Seelinger, at 31 years old, stands as the 61st pitcher the Mets have used since the start of the 2025 season, the most in baseball. His addition to the active roster, followed by his removal, underscored the ongoing volatility of the Mets’ pitching staff. In his major league debut, Seelinger entered in a 9-9 game and surrendered seven earned runs over two innings, a rough introduction that highlighted the high-stakes nature of late-season bullpen usage.
Curry, 27, joined the Mets on a minor league contract earlier this season and has pitched in 10 games for Syracuse, logging 49.1 innings with a 4.74 ERA and a 5.68 FIP while operating as a starter. His presence in the rotation or as a bulk middle-relief option could provide the Mets with additional depth as they navigate tight timelines and a crowded roster.
Myers, who arrived in the same offseason trade that sent Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to Milwaukee in exchange for Freddy Peralta, was anticipated to be a strong addition. Since his arrival, Myers has oscillated between Syracuse and the majors, reflecting the Mets’ ongoing evaluation of his fit at the highest level. This season at the big-league level, he has posted a 6.21 ERA and a 4.93 FIP over 42.0 innings, signaling there’s potential room for growth but also the need for continued development and more consistent command.
Warren had shown encouraging signs earlier this season, but a poor outing against the Royals last night pushed his numbers to a 4.63 ERA and a 4.66 FIP across 35.0 innings. His second-to-last appearance before landing on the injured list also didn’t go well, following a stretch earlier in the year where he had posted a 2.45 ERA and a 4.06 FIP. The IL stint interrupts a year that had offered some hopeful moments, but also underscored the volatility that can accompany relievers as the Mets balance immediate needs with longer-term development.
Núñez is working his way back from Tommy John surgery, a setback that briefly halted one of the organization’s more promising relief ventures in recent seasons. Before his injury, Núñez had been a breakout contributor in the Mets’ bullpen, delivering quality workload and late-inning versatility. He remains on the Mets’ radar as a potential contributor at the major league level later in the season, though he currently has an option remaining. Depending on the club’s strategic decisions and bullpen health, Núñez could spend additional time in Syracuse during rehab, providing a bridge between the minors and any future bullpen calls.
The Mets’ ongoing roster churn reflects the broader realities facing a pitching staff trying to maintain competitive performance while integrating young arms and recovering veterans. Curry’s call-up adds a fresh bullpen option who can be stretched for multiple innings or used in a long-relief role, giving manager confidence to navigate back-to-back series or extended games. Myers’ versatility could be tested in a variety of roles, from spot starts to multi-inning relief appearances, particularly if the Mets want to preserve bullpen arms for late-inning stability.
For Seelinger, designation for assignment represents a pivotal crossroad. At 31, he embodies a veteran depth piece who has already contributed in limited capacities this season. The move tests his ability to clear waivers and find a new roster spot—either with the Mets or elsewhere—while also highlighting the team’s willingness to experiment and turn the page quickly when other options prove themselves in the majors.
As for Núñez, his rehab trajectory will be watched closely. If he shows enough to spark a major league call, he could rejoin the Mets’ bullpen later in the year, potentially providing another high-leverage arm or a bridge reliever in the late innings. Yet until he is fully ramped, the Mets may opt to keep him anchored in Syracuse, ensuring he remains stretched out as a possible bullpen reinforcement rather than rushing back to the majors.
In sum, these moves illustrate the Mets’ ongoing balancing act: developing fresh arms in the minor leagues, monitoring the health and effectiveness of current relievers, and keeping an eye on financial flexibility and roster space as the season unfolds. The club will likely continue monitoring options within Syracuse and Binghamton, evaluating whether any of these players can deliver impactful performances at the major league level once given the opportunity. The goal remains clear: stabilize the bullpen, maintain competitiveness, and position the organization to respond quickly as the postseason race intensifies.
