In need of a fresh arm, the Mets are making a move prior to Saturday’s game against the Marlins.
New York has officially optioned RHP Tobias Myers down to Triple-A, as first reported by Will Sammon of the Athletic following Friday’s walk-off win.
Myers struggled again pitching late in the victory, allowing the game-tying two-run homer to deep right after being called upon to protect a lead in the eighth inning.
The righty has now allowed runs in five of his last seven appearances, raising his ERA to 4.05 for the season.
In a corresponding move, veteran left-hander Cionel Pérez has been recalled from Syracuse and Anderson Severino has been DFA’d to make room on the 40-man roster.
Pérez has thrown well since joining the organization on a minor league pact earlier this season, giving up just two runs while striking out 10 across six Triple-A appearances.
Severino has looked strong too, recording five saves and a 1.31 ERA over 18 outings.
