Mets Claim Edwin Uceta From Pirates

 


The Mets claimed right-hander Edwin Uceta off waivers from the Pirates and optioned him to Triple-A. 

The Mets transferred righty Sam Coonrod to the 60-day injured list.

The 25-year old righty has made 24 major league appearances, 14 with the Dodgers in 2021 and 10 more with the D’Backs last year. He has a 6.27 ERA in that time, striking out 23% of opponents, walking 11.5% and getting grounders at a 37.1% clip.

Uceta has shown huge strikeout stuff in the minors, posting a 29.5% strikeout rate in Triple-A in 2021 and then 32.7% at that level last year.
