Mets Send Hammer Back Down | New York Mets News

The Mets sent pitcher Dan Hammer back to the minors just days after calling him up, cutting his MLB debut short before he even threw a pitch—despite his strong 1.77 ERA in Triple-A. This isn’t the first time the team has rushed pitchers up and down, reflecting deeper struggles with consistency and injuries in their rotation. Hammer, a former Orioles draft pick who bounced around the minors before the Mets gave him a shot, was looking like a breakout candidate—until roster moves shifted the script. With a 40-57 record before the All-Star break and key arms like Holmes and Megill sidelined, the Mets are scrambling for pitching solutions, and the trade deadline could bring big changes—potentially forcing even more minor-league call-ups like Tobias Myers.
