Tyler Jay has only pitched in three games this season for the Mets, which were the first of his MLB career. In those three games, he held a 7.71 ERA.
Jay, a first round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2015, made his MLB debut just this year. He’s been to a couple of independent teams before signing with the Mets last year.
In Triple-A Syracuse, Jay was amazing. He was posting a 2.40 ERA in 23 appearances with 30 strikeouts and only walking four. However, the same couldn’t be said when he received his major league callup and the Mets designated him for assignment this past Wednesday.
After DFA’ing Dallas Keuchel and Joel Kuhnel, it made room for Jared Koenig’s return from the injured list, and Jay will get a 40-man roster spot. He immediately was optioned to Triple-A Nashville, and has three minor league option years remaining.
