The Mets have reinstated righty reliever Dedniel Núñez from the injured list exactly one month after he last pitched in the Majors. They’ve optioned reliever Huascar Brazobán to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Núñez on the active roster.
Núñez went on the injured list after suffering a strain on his right forearm. He is expected to bolster a bullpen that has seen new additions since the All-Star break as the Mets look to reclaim a Wild Card position.
Núñez has been one of the team’s most effective relievers in 2024, holding a 2.43 ERA in 33 1⁄3 innings.
