Brandon Sproat, one of the New York Mets' top pitching prospects, was switched to a bullpen role during his regularly scheduled appearance on Sunday with Triple-A Syracuse, potentially foreshadowing a call-up to the majors. The 24-year-old right-hander has been lights-out as of late in the minors, posting a 2.05 ERA with 57 strikeouts and a 0.850 WHIP across his last nine starts (48.1 innings pitched).
