"Garcia was signed on a one-year deal worth a guaranteed $1.75 million over the winter, yet lasted just 15 games into the new season. He posted a 7.11 ERA across six appearances with the Mets, including a shutout inning in Saturday's loss."
"We needed an arm, especially with the way we've used the bullpen the last couple of nights, manager Carlos Mendoza said. I feel like we needed some protection there in case something bad happens again."
"Gerber joined the Mets in November after making two appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays (2.08 ERA in 4.1 innings) last season. It was his first time back in the majors since the 2020 campaign with the Seattle Mariners."
"You take it day by day, right? Gerber told amNewYork. Just being grateful for the opportunity and where you're at each day [helped me get by] because if you're not happy when you're like, in Buffalo, you're not going to appreciate what you have when you're up here, either."
The New York Mets designated reliever Luis Garcia for assignment after he struggled with a 7.11 ERA in six appearances. The decision came as the bullpen was overworked, necessitating a fresh arm. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the need for protection in case of further issues. Joey Gerber was recalled, marking his return to the majors after injuries hindered his career. Gerber expressed gratitude for the opportunity and the importance of appreciating each moment in his journey.
