Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss will head back to Syracuse after being called up June 10, appearing in two games, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings during his latest stint with New York. The 31-year-old has now produced a 4.08 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 11 punchouts over 17.2 frames in 13 appearances with the Mets in 2023. Replacing Curtiss on the active roster is Grant Hartwig, a right-handed reliever who had his contract selected from Triple-A on Monday.

Curtiss was recalled by the Mets on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss is on his third big-league stint of the season. He's struggled to a 4.85 ERA in 13 innings of relief at the highest level this year, striking out just 13.2 percent of opposing batters, and his 6.57 ERA in 13.1 Triple-A frames hardly inspired confidence. Tommy Hunter was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Curtiss was optioned Thursday to Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss had been knocked around in his last two outings while watching his season ERA rise to 4.85. The 30-year-old reliever should get another shot with the Mets fairly soon.

Curtiss was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss has a 4.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and seven strikeouts in 10.1 innings through nine big-league appearances this season. He struck out four over two scoreless innings in his lone appearance at Triple-A. Look for him to work in lower-leverage relief situations.

Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a bit of a surprise that it's Curtiss gets the demotion to make room for Joey Lucchesi, but the Mets will keep arms like Edwin Uceta and Jeff Brigham on the roster as multi-inning options. It'd be a major upset if Curtiss wasn't back with the Mets by the end of April, if not sooner.

Curtiss struck out one in a perfect ninth inning during Friday's 17-6 win over the A's.

EDGE Analysis

The leverage was about as low as it gets, but Curtiss still did his job effectively. The 30-year-old right-hander has two holds in six appearances to begin the season along with a 1.23 ERA and 6:2 K:BB through 7.1 innings, but despite numerous injuries in the Mets' bullpen, he seems unlikely to see consistent late-inning work.

Curtiss (elbow) completed a "relatively heavy winter throwing progression" before reporting to spring training and has built his fastball velocity back up to the mid-90s during side sessions, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Curtiss is 17 months removed from Tommy John surgery and reported to camp seemingly without any restrictions, the Mets' plan for the early stages of the spring is to have him sharpen his command in bullpen sessions before clearing him for his Grapefruit League debut. When he was last healthy during the 2021 campaign, Curtiss proved to be a reliable setup option between stops with Miami and Milwaukee, as he accrued a 3.45 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB in 44.1 innings. After joining the Mets last April on a one-year, $770,000 contract, Curtiss showed enough progress in his rehab for the team to keep him on the 40-man roster by exercising his $775,000 team option for 2023. He'll still have to fight for a spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, but barring any setbacks in his return from surgery, Curtiss looks to have an inside path to a 26-man roster spot.

Curtiss (elbow) had his $775,000 team option for 2023 exercised by the Mets on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old didn't pitch in 2022 while he recovered from Tommy John surgery, and the Mets will bring him back to potentially make his team debut next year. Curtiss underwent the procedure in September 2021, so he could be fully healthy for the start of spring training.

The Mets signed Curtiss (elbow) to a one-year contract Wednesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss will miss the entire 2022 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September, but his contract with the Mets contains a team option for the 2023 campaign. He made 41 appearances (three starts) with the Marlins and Brewers last year prior to undergoing his procedure, and he recorded a 3.45 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 44.1 innings. The Mets will monitor his rehab over the months to come before deciding whether to exercise his option early next offseason.

Curtiss (elbow) was non-tendered by the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Curtis was acquired by Milwaukee at the traded deadline in July, but he pitched in only six games before suffering a UCL injury and undergoing Tommy John surgery. He's set to miss the entirety of 2022, so the team decided not to tender him a contract.
