Max Kranick Joins Mets' Playoff Roster After Long Absence

The right-hander, who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022, replaces Tylor Megill for the Wild Card Series against the Brewers.

Max Kranick, 27, has been added to the Mets' playoff roster despite not pitching in the majors this season.
Kranick replaces Tylor Megill, who is unavailable after throwing 100 pitches in Monday's game against the Braves.
Originally claimed from the Pirates, Kranick missed much of the season due to a hamstring injury and was designated for assignment in May.
After recovering, Kranick excelled as a reliever in Triple-A Syracuse, posting a 3.57 ERA in 41 games.
Kranick's return to the majors is a full-circle moment, as he grew up a Mets fan and now has a chance to contribute in the playoffs.
