Mets To Call Up Flamethrowing Reliever Dylan Ross, Per Report

The move addresses late-inning depth during New York’s tight wild-card push.

Overview

  • Will Sammon of The Athletic reports New York is bringing Ross to the majors, with an active roster move still to be finalized.
  • Ross, 25, logged a 2.17 ERA across three levels this season, including a 1.69 mark with 39 strikeouts in 32 innings at Triple-A, and has been training in Florida.
  • He is expected to be used in mid-leverage spots with possible seventh-inning work and could be considered for the postseason roster if the Mets clinch.
  • The decision follows late-season bullpen issues, including Reed Garrett being recommended for Tommy John surgery and struggles from recent additions.
  • New York holds a one-game lead for the final NL wild-card spot entering a season-ending series in Miami, while the Reds face the Brewers.
