The New York Mets recently sent right-handed pitcher Dylan Covey to the minor leagues.
Will Sammon of The Athletic reported on Wednesday evening that Covey was designated for assignment to make room for reliever Ryne Stanek, who the franchise just resigned (h/t MLB Trade Rumors’ Darragh McDonald).
Covey entered the MLB in 2017. Across five seasons played, the 6-1, 215-pound hurler owns a career 6.18 ERA and 1.581 WHIP. He has yet to take the mound for the Mets.
The California native last played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies in 2023.
