The Mets have activated right-handed relief pitcher Dellin Betances from the injured list and optioned fellow right-handed pitcher Corey Oswalt to their alternate site in Brooklyn. Betances has not pitched in a game since August 29, a game that the Mets lost when he threw a wild pitch that resulted in the Yankees scoring a walk-off run.
In 10.1 innings out of the Mets’ bullpen this year, Betances has a 6.10 ERA and 4.24 FIP with just 6.97 strikeouts per nine innings, a sharp decrease from the numbers he put up between 2014 and 2018 with the Yankees before missing almost all of the 2019 season with injuries.
