Shaun Marcum SP NYM
24 Days New York Mets Comment

Making his first relief appearance since 2007, Shaun Marcum took the loss in the 15th inning Monday against the Marlins.

Marcum pitched a scoreless 14th and then was given a one-run lead in the top of the 15th, only to give up two runs in the bottom of the inning. It was a risky move for the Mets to call on Marcum in relief given his arm problems over the last year. He was working on one day of rest after throwing four innings in his start Saturday, so it will be interesting to see how he bounces back.

Shaun Marcum yielded three runs in four innings Saturday in his season debut against the Phillies.

Marcum was removed after four innings because the Mets had a chance to score when his spot in the lineup came up, but he probably wasn't long for the game, anyway. Showing some rust, he gave up five hits and a pair of walks while striking out three. He also uncorked a wild pitch which led to a run scoring. We're expecting better results in future outings, though his matchup against the Braves next week could be a tough one.

Mets activated RHP Shaun Marcum from the 15-day disabled list.

Marcum will make his much-delayed Mets' debut Saturday against the Phillies. He opened the season on the DL with a neck/shoulder injury and was cleared to return after throwing five scoreless innings in an extended spring game this week. Marcum will be on a limited pitch count in his first start back, but has always been an effective fantasy starter and is worth a roster spot in most leagues.

Shaun Marcum (beck) has been cleared to make his Mets debut on Saturday against the Phillies.

Marcum tossed five scoreless innings Monday in an extended spring training game and reported no abnormal pain or discomfort in his neck or shoulder on Tuesday morning. The 31-year-old right-hander has always been an effective fantasy starter when healthy and is worth grabbing in most leagues.

Shaun Marcum (neck) went five scoreless innings on Monday morning in an extended spring game.

Marcum allowed only four hits, throwing 52 pitches. As long as he wakes up Tuesday with no lingering pain or discomfort, he should be cleared to make his Mets debut on Saturday afternoon against the Phillies. Pick him up now in standard mixed fantasy leagues.

Shaun Marcum (neck) tossed four scoreless innings Thursday in an extended spring training game.

Marcum allowed no hits and struck out four minor league batters. He threw only 41 pitches, though, and will need to work his way up to 90 before the Mets activate him from the disabled list. The 31-year-old right-hander is aiming to debut by the end of this month.

Shaun Marcum (neck) will not be ready to join the Mets' rotation this weekend.

There had been reports that he could start on Sunday, but Marcum instead will throw 3-4 innings in extended spring training on Thursday. The veteran right-hander still seems likely to be ready to return before the end of the month.
