ATLANTA — Frankie Montas’ last line for his potential final minor league rehab begin earlier than becoming a member of the Mets hardly suggests he’s prepared for the massive stage.
The correct-hander had a tough outing over 5 innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, permitting 5 earned runs on seven hits with one stroll and two strikeouts.
Montas owns a 12.05 ERA and a couple of.14 WHIP in six minor league appearances after getting back from a lat pressure early in spring coaching.
With Montas’ rehab project clock set to run out on Sunday, workforce officers need to determine the subsequent step, whether or not meaning putting Montas within the Mets rotation or bullpen.
If Montas isn’t deemed bodily sound, the workforce may look to restart his rehab project.
Supervisor Carlos Mendoza, following the 5-0 loss to the Braves, stated he deliberate to talk with Montas on Thursday to get a greater sense of the scenario.
Tylor Megill’s placement on the injured checklist this week with swelling in his elbow has left a rotation emptiness the workforce will fill on Friday in Philadelphia with a spot starter — Justin Hagenman and Blade Tidwell are among the many pitchers at Syracuse already on the 40-man roster — however ideally the workforce would really like Montas within the beginning combine subsequent week.
Sean Manaea is scheduled for a fourth rehab begin on Friday (and first for Syracuse) as he returns from an indirect pressure.
