The Mets are calling up reliever Rico Garcia, who will be making his big league return after two seasons. He signed a minor league contract in the offseason and has pitched at Triple-A Syracuse with a 4.45 ERA over 30 1/3 innings. Although he has a strong strikeout rate of 27.4%, he struggles with walks, averaging nearly 15% and allowing seven home runs. Garcia improved significantly in June, posting a 3.18 ERA. As he is out of options, the Mets must expose him to waivers if they wish to send him back to Syracuse.
Garcia gets his first big league look in two seasons. His numbers at Triple-A Syracuse include a 4.45 ERA across 30 1/3 innings.
Garcia has recorded an above-average 27.4% strikeout rate, but has walked almost 15% of batters faced, along with giving up seven home runs.
Most of Garcia's struggles occurred in April, where he allowed an ERA above 7.00, but has improved to a 3.18 ERA in June.
The 31-year-old Garcia is out of options, meaning the Mets would need to expose him to waivers to send him back to Syracuse.
