On their second straight rain-aided off day, the Mets announced that they have optioned José Butto to Triple-A. The team has not announced a corresponding roster move, though Stephen Nogosek is eligible to come off the IL and could make his return to the roster.
Butto was presumably under consideration to start Game 1 of tomorrow’s doubleheader, and with the 27th man option, he could still return to give the team innings. The team has already announced that Tylor Megill will start Game 2 against Charlie Morton, and they have just announced that Denyi Reyes will get the nod against Spencer Strider in Game 1.
