Prior to tonight’s game against the Nationals, the Mets activated Brad Brach and Walker Lockett from the injured list. To make room on their 28-man roster, the team optioned Paul Sewald and Ali Sanchez to the alternate site.
Brach has missed the entire year so far after battling COVID-19. The team picked up Brach last year during their playoff run after he was let go the Cubs, and he was an effective part of the bullpen down the stretch.
