The Mets are considering a power arm for this weekend to potentially bolster the bullpen.
Dylan Ross, who most recently dominated for Triple-A Syracuse, is a possibility to join the Mets as soon as Saturday in Miami, according to industry sources.Ross, 25, pitched at three levels for the Mets this season and posted a 2.
17 ERA over 49 appearances.Team officials view Ross as a potentially better version of Ryne Stanek. If Ross is called up, it’s likely he would be considered for mid-leverage situations, with seventh-inning duty as a possibility.Mets’ Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto join rare 30-30 MLB historyReed Garrett’s shutdown because of elbow inflammation that may precipitate Tommy John surgery has left an opening in the back end of the Mets’ bullpen, which also has been weakened by Ryan Helsley’s disappointing work since his arrival at the trade deadline. Mendoza indicated he had planned to give Alvarez a night off this week and decided on Thursday after Alvarez began cramping up behind the plate a night earlier. “The past couple of days, some long games behind the plate, and then toward the end, he began cramping up ,” Mendoza said. Alvarez, who is playing with a ligament sprain in his right thumb that will need surgery after the season — he also broke his left pinkie during a minor league rehab assignment this month — began the day with an .861 OPS in September, including four homers. Kodai Senga threw a bullpen session in Port St. Lucie two days after a “just OK” live batting practice session. The Mets will see what develops over the weekend, according to Mendoza, before deciding on Senga’s next step. The struggling right-hander started twice for Triple-A Syracuse after agreeing to a minor league assignment Sept. 5 to work on his mechanics.
