Mets Designate Julio Teheran for Assignment After Poor Debut

Overview

• Julio Teheran, a two-time All-Star, was designated for assignment by the New York Mets after a disappointing debut.
• In his first start for the Mets, Teheran allowed four runs on six hits and two walks in just 2 2/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves.
• The Mets called up right-hander Dedniel Núñez from Triple-A Syracuse following Teheran's poor performance.
• Teheran had signed with the Mets last week, aiming to bolster the team's rotation after injuries to key pitchers.
• Despite his past success, including stints with the Braves and the Brewers, Teheran's future with the Mets was cut short after only one game.
