Peterson was signed by the Angels on Wednesday and was subsequently assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake, Taylor Blake Ward of Locked on Angels reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander agreed to a minor-league deal but could feasibly help the big club at some point this season given the Angels' bullpen struggles thus far. Peterson last pitched for the Mets in 2019, allowing four earned runs and compiling a 3:7 K:BB across 7.1 innings. He has given up nine home runs over 35 career big-league frames.

Peterson was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old finds himself off the 40-man roster after recording an ERA of 3.60 with a 28:10 K:BB in 25 innings with Triple-A Syracuse since being optioned in early June. Paul Sewald was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse while Drew Gagnon was optioned to Triple-A in corresponding moves.

Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson made one appearance during his most recent stint in the majors, allowing two runs on two hits -- including a home run -- in one inning. He's enjoyed much more success overall at Syracuse (2.49 ERA, 0.57 WHIP) and will likely continue to get opportunities here or there when the Mets need a fresh arm.

The Mets recalled Peterson from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson took over the active roster spot of second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The right-handed reliever previously made five appearances out of the New York bullpen earlier this season, giving up two runs on five hits and six walks over 6.1 innings. He'll likely be limited to mop-up duty and low-leverage work while he's up with the big club.

Peterson went unclaimed on waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets designated Peterson for assignment Thursday but he will stick with the organization after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old has a 2.89 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB across 18.2 innings at Triple-A this season.

Peterson was designated for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets will risk sacrificing some organizational bullpen depth in Peterson in order to claim Aaron Altherr off waivers in an effort to address their lack of healthy outfield depth. Peterson has a 5.56 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 34 MLB innings over the past two seasons.

Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander tossed 2.1 scoreless frames and struck out one in Sunday's game against the Brewers, but with Justin Wilson (elbow) returning from the injured list, the Mets will send Peterson back to the minors.

Peterson was called up by the Mets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With a career 5.97 ERA in 31.2 big-league innings, Peterson shouldn't be anything more than a low-leverage arm. The Mets need some more of those after playing 18 innings Saturday, so Peterson and Tyler Bashlor are up to replace Ryan O'Rourke and Chris Flexen.

Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson pitched four times for the Mets prior to being sent down, allowing two runs with an ugly 2:6 K:BB. The team will shuffle low-leverage relievers, recalling Corey Oswalt to take Peterson's place.

Peterson gave up two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
While he didn't have any runs charged to his own ledger, Peterson did allow an inherited runner to score. The 28-year-old has a 0.00 ERA through 2.2 innings to begin the season, but his 0:1 K:BB is far from encouraging. He has a tenuous hold on a low-leverage role in the Mets' bullpen, and Peterson will likely be the first reliever optioned out if the club needs to bring in reinforcements.
