Ahead of tonight’s game, the Mets have announced that they have recalled Corey Oswalt from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned Tim Peterson.
Peterson was able to win a job as the last man out of the bullpen on the back of his strong spring training performance, beating out Hector Santiago, Kyle Dowdy, Ryan O’Rourke, and Tyler Bashlor, among others. However, with the Mets not getting very much length from their starting pitching, the bullpen has been taxed early, so it is not a surprise that they are calling for reinforcements.
