Mets’ Shocking Move: Rising Star Luisangel Acuna Sent to Minors Amid Mysterious Roster Shake-Up
“Lefty, kind of the low slot, the sinker, the slider, and now he’s got a sweeper, too,” Mendoza said. “He’s just another weapon for the bullpen that we can use to mix and match.”
Right-hander Frankie Montas is expected to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to make his Mets debut. Montas, signed to a two-year, $34 million contract in December, has been sidelined since spring training with a right lat strain.
“He’s a guy, when we signed him in the offseason, that was going to be a big part of this rotation,” Mendoza said. “I’ve seen him pitch for a lot of years at this level and have success. … The expectation is to go out there, compete and give us a chance to win a baseball game every time he takes the ball, starting tomorrow.”
