Ahead of their series-opener against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night, the Mets made a roster move to bolster the bullpen.
RHP Austin Warren was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, while RHP Ty Adcock, who was selected to the major league roster on Thursday, was optioned back to Triple-A.
Adcock entered the game down 4-2 with two outs in the top of the ninth, allowing one hit and walking one over 0.1 IP.
Warren has pitched to a 4.35 ERA over seven appearances in the minors this season, recording 14 strikeouts with nine walks over 10.1 IP. The 29-year-old was a sixth-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels in 2018 and made his MLB debut in 2021. He pitched in 32 games for LA across three seasons (2021-2023), owning a 3.55 ERA with 31 strikeouts.
Warren was designated for assignment by the Angels prior to the 2024 season and then signed with the San Francisco Giants, where he appeared in six big leagues games (1.69 ERA with seven strikeouts over 10.2 IP). The Mets claimed him off waivers on Jan. 15.
Additionally, New York announced that RHP Paul Blackburn (right knee inflammation), who’s yet to pitch in the majors this season, was placed on a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn. Blackburn pitched two innings for the Cyclones on April 19, allowing one run on two hits (one HR) while walking two over 38 pitches. He had a 5.68 ERA over five spring training outings before landing on the injured list late in camp.
