Before playing the Detroit Tigers on Thursday in the series finale, the Mets made a flurry of roster changes:
- Justin Verlander was brought back off the injured list.
- Right-handed relief pitcher The active roster now includes Dominic Leone after his signing.
- Painkillers Zach Muckenhirn and John Curtiss have been sent to Triple-A Syracuse.
- Omar Narvaez, a catcher, has been sent to the 60-day injured list.
The most significant change in this situation is the signing of veteran Leone, a 31-year-old who has played in 353 games in his nine-year career. With the San Francisco Giants, Leone made his final major league appearance in 2022, tossing 55 innings for a 4.01 ERA. Despite opting out of his contract, he had been pitching at the Triple-A level for the Texas Rangers organization this season. Leone has a 3.69 ERA during his whole career.
While moving Narvaez to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster, it doesn't really change the eight- to nine-week return window the Mets stated when they placed him on the IL with a severe left calf strain.
