New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler's Thursday resignation came during an ongoing MLB investigation of alleged injured list misuse, according to the New York Post's Mike Puma, Joel Sherman, Jon Heyman and Mark W. Sanchez.
Eppler resigned after the league told the Mets about the investigation, Puma, Sherman, Heyman and Sanchez reported.
In his resignation statement, Eppler said he wanted to give new president of baseball operations David Stearns "a clean slate."
Eppler joined the Mets on a four-year contract in November 2021.
