The New York Mets brought back a pair of their pitching-staff weapons on Tuesday.
According to Anthony DiComo of mlb.com, the ballclub reinstated both Walker Lockett and Brad Brach from the injured list. To go along with this, New York optioned right-handed reliever Paul Sewald and catcher Ali Sanchez to the team’s alternate site in Brooklyn.
Lockett is a legitimate option to start Wednesday night’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. It was originally supposed to be a slot filled by Michael Wacha, until the Mets placed him on the 10-day injured list this past weekend.
