Alex Claudio - Demoted to Triple-AThe Mets optioned Claudio to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

ImpactClaudio and Stephen Nogosek lose their roster spots as Max Scherzer (oblique) and Tylor Megill (shoulder) return from the injured list. Claudio has made three scoreless appearances this month and could rejoin the Mets at some point for low-leverage or lefty-on-lefty work.

Stephen Nogosek - Heads to minorsThe Mets optioned Nogosek to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

ImpactNogosek didn't pitch for the Mets after returning Saturday from an oblique injury. The righty's respectable 2.79 ERA in 11 big-league appearances this season suggest he could rejoin New York's bullpen before the regular campaign concludes.

Tylor Megill - Back from ILThe Mets reinstated Megill (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

ImpactAs expected, the righty is activated prior to Monday's series-opener in Milwaukee. All nine of his big-league appearances to date in 2021 are starts, but he'll be pitching in relief for the remainder of the season. It will interesting to see how his stuff, which included a high-90s fastball prior to the shoulder injury, looks in his new role. Further, it remains to be seen whether Megill receives high-leverage innings and the opportunity for holds.

Max Scherzer - Returns from ILThe Mets reinstated Scherzer (oblique) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday against the Brewers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

ImpactScherzer will be rejoining the Mets for the final two and a half weeks of the season after he was cleared to return from the IL following his rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse last Wednesday. He struck out seven over 3.2 innings in his outing with Syracuse, allowing one earned run on three hits and a walk. Scherzer tossed only 59 pitches in that outing, so he could face a light workload restriction in Monday's contest. The three-time Cy Young Award winner will line up for a two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in Oakland.
