JOEY LUCCHESI NEWS

Non-tendered by San Francisco The Giants non-tendered Lucchesi on Friday, making him a free agent, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact The left-hander was a solid middle reliever for the Giants last year with a 3.76 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB over 38.1 innings, but the organization elected not to tender him a contract for 2026. Lucchesi should be able to secure another contract this winter but may not be guaranteed a big-league deal.

Picks up loss in season debut Lucchesi (0-1) took the loss in Sunday's 5-4 defeat to the Dodgers, allowing two earned runs on three hits over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Lucchesi made his Giants debut Monday, entering the game with two outs in the fourth inning and allowing a single before inducing the final out. Lucchesi then surrendered back-to-back singles to start the fifth and was pulled after securing the first out. The 32-year-old was a last-minute addition to the major-league roster, with the team trading Sunday's projected starter, Kyle Harrison, and three other players to the Red Sox in exchange for Rafael Devers. Lucchesi had been working in relief for Triple-A Sacramento before joining San Francisco, posting a 3.23 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 31:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings in 20 appearances.

Contract selected Sunday Lucchesi had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Lucchesi was a last-minute addition to San Francisco's major-league roster ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dodgers. With the Giants trading away left-hander Kyle Harrison, amongst others, to the Red Sox in return for Rafael Devers prior to the game, Lucchesi filled the spot left by Harrison on San Francisco's roster. The left-hander has posted a 3.23 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 30.2 innings in 20 appearances out of the bullpen with Triple-A Sacramento this year.

Summoned to big leagues The Giants selected Lucchesi's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Lucchesi was a last-minute addition to San Francisco's major-league roster ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dodgers. With the Giants trading away Sunday's scheduled starter (Kyle Harrison) plus three other players to the Red Sox in exchange for Rafael Devers prior to the game, Lucchesi filled the spots vacated by Harrison on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Sean Hjelle will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sunday's game, but Lucchesi could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen once Hjelle exits. Lucchesi has previously started in 77 of his 81 appearances in the majors, but he's worked exclusively in relief with Sacramento in 2025, logging a 3.23 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB in 30.2 innings.

Lands NRI deal from San Francisco The Giants signed Lucchesi to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Lucchesi will earn $1.5 million if he's in the majors. The left-hander made 11 starts with the Mets over the last two seasons, compiling a 3.32 ERA but an underwhelming 39:25 K:BB across 57 innings of work. Lucchesi will likely begin the 2025 season in the rotation at Triple-A Sacramento.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Lucchesi elected free agency Monday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact The Mets booted Lucchesi from their 40-man roster and he has opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Lucchesi holds a career 4.10 ERA and 388:137 K:BB over 394.2 innings covering parts of six big-league seasons.

Delivers quality start Monday Lucchesi (0-2) took the loss in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out five.

Impact The 31-year-old got the spot start -- just his second MLB appearance of 2024 -- after the Mets clinched a wild-card berth by winning the first game of the twin bill, and Lucchesi delivered his first quality start in the majors since Sept. 27 of last year. A lack of run support from a lineup resting top players like Francisco Lindor saddled him with the loss, however. Lucchesi tossed 111 pitches (62 strikes) in the outing, but he likely wasn't factoring into New York's postseason rotation plans anyway.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned to start second game The Mets selected Lucchesi's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact With the Mets having already clinched a playoff spot in winning the first game over Atlanta on Monday, they will turn to Lucchesi in the second contest and save Luis Severino for the wild-card series. Lucchesi has made one start for the Mets this season, allowing five runs over 4.1 frames.

Clears waivers The Mets outrighted Lucchesi to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday after he cleared waivers.

Impact Lucchesi will remain in the Mets system after no other team was willing to dedicate a 40-man roster spot to the left-hander and foot the bill for the money remaining on his one-year, $1.65 million contract. The 31-year-old turned in a 2.89 ERA over nine starts for the Mets in 2023, but he was lit up for five earned runs in 4.1 innings in his lone spot start with the big club this season, which came back on May 15 in Philadelphia. Lucchesi has otherwise been a regular member of the Syracuse rotation this season, logging a 4.20 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 63:34 K:BB across 83.2 innings.
