Mets recalled RHP Josh Stinson from Double-A Binghamton.
Stinson struggled as a starter to begin the season with Triple-A Buffalo, but bounced back nicely in a relief role after being demoted to Double-A Binghamton, posting a 3.99 ERA, six saves and a 39/16 K/BB ratio over 47 1/3 innings. The 23-year-old right-hander sits in the low-to-mid 90s with his fastball and relies on a slider as his secondary pitch. He could be a consideration for the bullpen next season if he impresses down the stretch.
