Overview

• Multiple outlets report the 24-year-old right-hander will make his MLB debut Sunday in Cincinnati, taking the turn previously lined up for Kodai Senga.
• Sproat earned the opportunity with a second-half surge at Triple-A Syracuse, including seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in his most recent start and a 3.19 ERA over his last 17 outings.
• He becomes the third rookie promoted to the rotation in recent weeks, joining Nolan McLean (1.37 ERA through four starts) and Jonah Tong (one earned run over five innings in his debut).
• The Mets have asked Senga to accept a Triple-A assignment to reset, but his contract allows him to refuse; a decision is expected soon, according to reports.
• Because he was in the organization before September, Sproat could be eligible for the postseason via standard injury-replacement provisions.
