"Sproat's 2025 season has been a tale of two chapters; the 2023 third-round pick posted a 6.69 ERA in nine starts for Triple-A Syracuse through May 20 before rebounding with a 3.19 ERA over his last 17 outings. Remove a seven-run relief appearance on Aug. 24 and Sproat has a 2.78 ERA in 16 starts since May 25. Sproat concluded the stretch on Saturday with seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts to two walks."
"He'll take the ball on Sunday on a week's rest to conclude a three-game series in Cincinnati against the team chasing the Mets for the third National League Wild Card spot. Kodai Senga was lined up to start Sunday, but the veteran's recent struggles -- he hasn't completed six innings since June 6 and owns a 6.56 ERA over his last eight starts - prompted the Mets to give Sproat the opportunity."
Brandon Sproat, 24, was called up to start Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds as the Mets again promoted a top pitching prospect to bolster a sputtering rotation. Sproat posted a 6.69 ERA in nine Triple-A starts through May 20 before rebounding to a 3.19 ERA over his final 17 outings; excluding a seven-run relief appearance, he compiled a 2.78 ERA in 16 starts since May 25. He finished a stretch with seven scoreless innings and nine strikeouts. Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong have risen rapidly, while Kodai Senga's recent 6.56 ERA prompted the change.
