NEW YORK METS NEWS

Tylor Megill - Officially called up for start The Mets recalled Megill from Triple-A Syracuse to start Friday's game against the White Sox.

Impact As expected, Megill will fill Paul Blackburn's (hand) vacated spot in the rotation and face off against the White Sox. In his last three starts in Syracuse, Megill has a 4.15 ERA with a 21:5 K:BB across 17.1 innings. He's logged a 5.17 ERA in 10 appearances with the Mets in 2024.

Jett Williams - Completes rehab assignment Double-A Binghamton activated Williams (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Williams went four months between his injury and the beginning of his rehab assignment after needing a triangular fibrocartilage complex debridement procedure in his right wrist. The ever patient shortstop hit .250 with four walks, three strikeouts, two steals and zero extra-base hits in five rehab games. Williams has proven to be an on-base machine (career .417 OBP), as he knows the strike zone very well, but he also has plus-plus speed and good bat speed at the plate, so he could turn into a five-category contributor in fantasy.

José Buttó - Nabs sixth win Butto (6-3) picked up the win Thursday, walking one batter in a scoreless inning of relief.

Impact The right-hander threw only nine of 20 pitches for strikes but escaped the eighth inning unscathed to protect a 2-2 tie, and Butto became the pitcher of record when the Mets went ahead in the top of the ninth. He's had trouble finding the plate consistently for a couple weeks now, and Butto has walked at least one batter in six straight appearances, posting a 4.32 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB in 8.1 innings over that stretch. Given the injuries in the Mets' bullpen however, with Dedniel Nunez (forearm) the latest to go down, Butto will likely continue to be deployed in high-leverage spots.

Jose Iglesias - Game-winning RBI against Arizona Iglesias went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The veteran infielder came up big when it mattered, bringing home Tyrone Taylor with a single up the middle in the top of the ninth inning to break a 2-2 tie. Iglesias continues to get consistent playing time at second base while occasionally filling in at third base, and through 65 plate appearances in August he's slashing .276/.338/.328 with two steals, five runs and five RBI.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Nimmo - Nabs 12th steal Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The steal was his career-high 12th of the season but first since Aug. 2, snapping a 20-game drought on the basepaths. Nimmo is slashing just .226/.305/.381 on the month with two homers, two stolen bases, seven RBI and 10 runs in 22 contests.

Francisco Lindor - Swats 28th homer Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact His sixth-inning shot off Ryne Nelson tied the game at 2-2, setting the stage for some Jose Iglesias heroics in the top of the ninth. Lindor has hit safely in nine straight games, continuing a red-hot August that has seen the shortstop slash .330/.370/.580 through 26 contests with six homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 20 runs. He sits two home runs and five stolen bases short of his second straight 30-30 campaign.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Pete Alonso - Closing in on 30 homers Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 29-year-old slugger took Ryne Nelson deep in the second inning to get the Mets on the board. Alonso has picked up the pace in August, slashing .253/.345/.505 with seven homers and 17 RBI in 26 games, and he sits one long ball short of his fourth straight 30-homer campaign and the fifth of his career.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Reid-Foley - Likely out for season Reid-Foley (shoulder) is unlikely to rejoin the Mets before the end of the season, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander had his rehab assignment paused a couple weeks ago, and he hasn't resumed throwing since. Reid-Foley could eventually be moved to the 60-day IL if the Mets need to open up a spot on the 40-man roster down the stretch. Reid-Foley has thrown only 21.2 innings in the majors this season between various arm issues, posting a 1.66 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB while picking up a win and four holds in 23 appearances.

David Peterson - Sharp again vs. D-Backs Peterson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Arizona, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

Impact Peterson has now gone seven innings in three straight starts while delivering quality starts in five of his last six outings -- he's pitched to an impressive 1.86 ERA in that span (38.2 innings). Overall, the left-hander is 8-1 with a 2.83 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 92.1 innings this season. Peterson will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home versus the Red Sox.

Edwin Díaz - Rebounds for 15th save Diaz earned the save in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact It was a much-needed outing for Diaz, who allowed four runs on a pair of home runs in his last two appearances, both losses. After surrendering a go-ahead grand slam to Corbin Carroll on Wednesday, Diaz made quick work of the Diamondbacks on Thursday, striking out Lourdes Gurriel and Josh Bell before coaxing a game-ending pop-out from Jake McCarthy. Diaz is now 15-for-21 in save chances with a 4.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:15 K:BB across 38.2 innings this season.

Dedniel Núñez - Goes on IL with forearm tightness The Mets placed Nunez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right forearm tightness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nunez just returned from a forearm issue last Friday and is now headed back to the IL following a recurrence of the injury. He missed nearly a month of action the first time around, but it's not clear how long this stint might last. It's a blow to the Mets' bullpen, as Nunez has been excellent this season with a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB over 35 frames.
