Bashlor was recalled by the Pirates on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bashlor was picked up in a trade with the Mets in early August but had been at the Pirates' alternate training site. With a career 5.33 ERA in 54 big-league innings, he's best suited for low-leverage work. Cody Ponce was optioned in a corresponding move.

Bashlor was traded to the Pirates from the Mets for cash considerations Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was designated for assignment by the Mets earlier in the week, and he'll now continue his career with the Pirates. Bashlor has yet to appear in a game in 2020, but he had a 5.33 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 48 games with New York over the past two seasons.

Bashlor was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bashlor will be removed from the Mets' 40-man roster just one day after he was recalled by the Mets. The right-hander didn't make any relief appearances while he was part of the major-league bullpen. Given his lack of productive experience in the big leagues, it's unclear whether he'll be able to find a spot in another major-league bullpen.

Bashlor was recalled by the Mets on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bashlor was left off the Mets' initial 30-man roster, but he'll take the place of Corey Oswalt in the bullpen after he was optioned after Sunday's contest. Bashlor made 24 appearances for the Mets last season, posting a 6.95 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with three blown saves over 22 innings. Given the right-hander's struggles in past major-league experiences, he's likely to pitch mainly in lower-leverage situations.

Bashlor was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bashlor was competing for a bullpen job in camp but wasn't necessarily a favorite to win one even before he posted an 11.57 ERA in 4.2 spring innings. In 22 big-league innings last season, he posted a 6.95 ERA and a 16.5 percent walk rate.

Bashlor has given up 11 hits including three home runs in 4.2 innings this spring, leading to an 11.57 ERA and 2.57 WHIP.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old came into camp hoping to win a spot in the big-league bullpen, but Bashlor's performance prior to the league shutdown seemed to be earning him a ticket back to Triple-A Syracuse instead. He'll likely provide the Mets with relief depth during the season.

Bashlor was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bashlor struggled with a 7.16 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 16.1 major-league innings this season, but he'll rejoin the Mets as rosters expand Sunday. The 26-year-old fared much better at Syracuse with a 3.41 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB across 37 frames.

Bashlor was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bashlor has made 13 appearances for the Mets in 2019, posting a 5.40 ERA with 12 punchouts across 11.2 innings. Chris Mazza and Luis Guillorme were optioned to Triple-A in corresponding moves.

Bashlor was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets shuffled things around in their bullpen, designating Hector Santiago for assignment, optioning Tim Peterson and returning Bashlor to the minors after acquiring Brooks Pounders via trade from Cleveland. Bashlor has struggled at both levels this season (6.14 ERA, 1.76 WHIP at Triple-A) and could be a DFA candidate the next time the Mets need a 40-man spot.
