Stock was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stock started the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Milwaukee and allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings to take the loss. He'll head to the Triple-A club during the All-Star break, while Nick Tropeano will remain with the Mets after he served as the 27th man Wednesday.

Stock (0-2) took the loss in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over four innings as the Mets fell 5-0. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander didn't pitch poorly in his Mets debut, tossing 41 of 68 pitches for strikes, but the team's offense only managed three singles in the nightcap. Stock will likely return to Triple-A over the All-Star break, and there's no guarantee he'll get the call the next time New York needs a fifth starter.

Stock was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and is expected to start Wednesday versus the Brewers, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was claimed off waivers by the Mets and assigned to Triple-A on June 22, and he's now set to debut with his new team. Stock started one game for the Cubs on June 16 before being designated for assignment, and he surrendered five runs on four hits with six walks and three strikeouts across four innings.

The Mets claimed Stock off waivers and assigned him to Triple-A on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stock was designated for assignment by the Cubs after his five-run, six-walk start June 16 against his new team. The Mets had a front row seat for that rough showing, but apparently saw him fit to serve as added organizational pitching depth. Now a few years removed from his only solid MLB season in 2018, Stock may only be called up by the Mets if injuries to the big-league pitching staff merit such a move.

The Cubs designated Stock for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Stock lost his spot on the 40-man roster four days after he was pummeled for five runs on four hits and six walks over four innings in his spot start against the Mets. If he clears waivers, Stock will remain in the organization and likely slot into the rotation at Triple-A Iowa.

Stock was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stock made his first major-league start Wednesday and allowed five runs in four innings to take the loss against the Mets. He'll now head back to the minors to open a spot in the bullpen for Brad Wieck, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Stock (0-1) allowed five runs across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Mets. He gave up four hits and six walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Stock got the call from Triple-A Iowa to make his Cubs debut Wednesday, and the veteran struggled with command in the tough outing. The righty came into the contest with 52 games of big-league experience out of the bullpen for the Padres and Red Sox, so while his first career MLB start didn't go particularly well, Stock could stick around as a relief option for Chicago. He doesn't figure to have a ton of fantasy value in whatever role he occupies.

Stock will be recalled to start Wednesday's game against the Mets, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran and longtime minor leaguer posted a 4.73 ERA in 10 relief appearances with the Red Sox in 2020, and he's pitched to a similar 4.12 ERA in nine games with Triple-A Iowa this year. Stock will likely only be tasked with a couple innings for the Cubs on Wednesday.

Stock cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stock was designated for assignment Sunday but will remain in camp as a non-roster invitee. His 4.24 ERA in 63.2 career inning at the major-league level is probably good enough to earn him some low-leverage opportunities for the big club at some point this season.

The Cubs designated Stock for assignment Sunday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chicago has yet to announce a corresponding move, but the team will presumably use the open 40-man roster spot created by the transaction to clear room for the newly-signed Ryan Tepera or to activate Kyle Ryan from the COVID-19 injured list. The Cubs previously claimed Stock off waivers from the Red Sox in December after he posted a 4.73 ERA and 1.95 WHIP across 13.1 innings out of Boston's bullpen in 2020.
