Mets Place Reed Garrett on 15-Day IL, Select José Castillo, Transfer Frankie Montas to 60-Day IL

New York turns to a familiar left-hander to steady an overworked bullpen.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is taking batting practice ahead of his rehab schedule.

Overview

  • The Mets placed Reed Garrett on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 23 with right elbow inflammation ahead of the series opener against the Phillies.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said an MRI showed only inflammation; Garrett will receive a cortisone shot and be shut down for a couple of days.
  • Left-hander José Castillo was selected to the major-league roster for his third stint after logging a roughly 2.15–2.19 ERA in 14 appearances for New York.
  • To create a 40-man roster spot for Castillo, the club transferred Frankie Montas to the 60-day injured list.
  • Garrett owns a 3.61 ERA over 52 1/3 innings this season and had allowed at least one earned run in five of his six most recent outings.
