Paul Blackburn, the New York Mets pitcher, is on the road to recovery from right knee inflammation. Manager Carlos Mendoza stated Blackburn will make at least one more start in Triple-A Syracuse before possibly rejoining the MLB roster. Although Blackburn struggled with his command in his latest minor-league start, he remains optimistic about his performance. The Mets are juggling their rotation, with injuries impacting the line-up, and Blackburn's recovery is crucial for the team as they navigate player availability for the season.
Overall, my stuff has been really good, Blackburn told amNewYork. [Sunday] was just one of those days where I didn't really have any feel for my offspeed stuff.
Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Paul Blackburn will need at least one more start in Triple-A Syracuse before potentially rejoining the MLB club for his 2025 season debut.
Blackburn was acquired from the Athletics at the 2024 trade deadline and made just five starts with the Mets (5.18 ERA) before sustaining a back injury that needed surgery.
Montas is projected to make his Mets debut later this month, while Manaea's setback last month could keep him out until June.
