Mets Activate Frankie Montas and Adjust Roster
The New York Mets have activated right-handed pitcher Frankie Montas from the 15-day injured list. This move was made on Tuesday, along with the transfer of outfielder Jesse Winker to the 60-day injured list.
In a related move, right-handed pitcher Chris Devenski was sent to Triple-A Syracuse.
Montas was scheduled to make his debut with the Mets on Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves.
Montas, 32 years old, signed a two-year, $34 million free agent contract with the Mets in December. However, he suffered a lat strain in February. In six rehab starts in the minor leagues, he had a 0-3 record and a 12.05 ERA.
In nine seasons in the Major Leagues with the Chicago White Sox (2015), Oakland Athletics (2017-22), New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati Reds (2024), and Milwaukee Brewers (2024), Montas has a 44-46 record with a 4.09 ERA in 160 appearances (129 as a starter).
Devenski, 34 years old, had an ERA of 3.60 in four relief appearances for the Mets this season.
Winker, 31, was batting .239 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 24 games for the Mets this season before being placed on the injured list due to a right oblique strain.
