Shreve was non-tendered by the Mets on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was entering his final year of arbitration but will now hit free agency. Shreve was a solid bullpen piece in 2020 with a 3.96 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB over 25 innings (17 appearances).

Shreve struck out all three batters he faced in the eighth inning and was credited with a hold Tuesday in the Mets' 5-2 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Though the hold was Shreve's first of the season, the lefty reliever has quietly had some sneaky value in deep mixed and NL-only leagues this season. In addition to posting a superb 3.00 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 24 innings, Shreve also has turned in five appearances with at least three strikeouts. He's positioned himself to fill a key late-inning role for the Mets for the remainder of the season and into the 2021 campaign.

Shreve (1-0) picked up the win Monday, tossing 2.1 perfect innings of relief in an 11-4 victory over the Marlins. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the game behind starter/opener Robert Gsellman in the second inning with runners on first and second and two outs, Shreve struck out Matt Joyce to end the Miami rally and then breezed through the next two frames. The southpaw has been outstanding in long relief to begin the season, posting a 3.09 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB through 11.2 innings over six appearances, and if the Mets find themselves using a Tampa-style opener more often to patch the holes in their rotation, Shreve could see his fantasy value spike.

Shreve has been named to the Mets' 60-man player pool, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old lefty will give the club some additional bullpen depth. Shreve spent most of last season at Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals' system. and over 203.2 innings in his big-league career he's posted a 3.71 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 234:102 K:BB.

Shreve signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old appeared in just three major-league games for the Cardinals in 2019, but he posted a 3.93 ERA with a 62:27 K:BB over 52.2 major-league innings the year before. The southpaw has been relatively effective at the Triple-A level, and Heyman reports that he will likely get an invite to spring training this year. Even if he makes the major-league roster, Shreve will likely only serve as a middle reliever.

Shreve was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

He cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A after getting designated for assignment earlier in the week. Shreve will serve as organizational bullpen depth going forward.

Shreve was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shreve made three appearances out of the bullpen after being promoted July 11, allowing two runs while walking one and fanning two over two innings of work. Mike Mayers (lat) was activated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Shreve was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Rob Rains of StLSportsPage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shreve has posted a 3.80 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 50:19 K:BB over 42.2 innings this season at Triple-A, earning him a shot out of the big-league bullpen. He'll take the spot of Tyler Webb, who was optioned to the Redbirds.

Shreve passed through waivers unclaimed Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis, Rob Rains of StLSportsPage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shreve had a respectable 3.93 ERA last season, but that came with a poor 5.12 FIP as he walked too many batters (11.5 percent). He could return to the big leagues at some point this year but his chances are hurt by the fact that he's no longer on the 40-man roster.

Shreve was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Friday, Mark Saxon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shreve had a fairly good 3.93 ERA in 52.2 frames split between the Yankees and Cardinals last season, though that came with a poor 5.12 FIP. He's reliably beaten his FIP over the course of his career, however, as his 3.66 ERA easily outpaces his 4.81 FIP over 201.2 career innings. If another team trusts the results, he'll find a place as a left-handed option in a big-league bullpen somewhere soon.
