Mets Poised To Promote 102-MPH Reliever Dylan Ross for Final Weekend

The late-season move addresses a battered bullpen during a tight push for the final NL Wild Card spot.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report New York plans to add No. 20 prospect Dylan Ross for Saturday and Sunday in Miami, though the club has not announced the move.
  • An active-roster transaction is required to make room, with Kevin Herget identified in reports as the likeliest player to be sent out.
  • Ross logged a 2.17 ERA with 80 strikeouts in 54 minor-league innings across three levels this year, featuring a fastball that touches 102 mph.
  • Control remains the key risk after a 5.5 walks-per-nine rate and a medical history that includes Tommy John surgery and a 2023 revision.
  • Reports indicate he would be used in mid-leverage spots and could be considered for a potential wild-card roster, as the Mets juggle roles with Clay Holmes set to start Saturday and a possible bullpen game Sunday.
