Daniel

Duarte

The Mets rallied to tie this game in the ninth inning and after scoring one run in the 10th, Duarte rather than Devin Williams came in for the save in the 10th. It was reported after the game that Williams was unavailable with general arm fatigue and should be ready to go in the coming days, so expect this as a one-off opportunity for Duarte. Expect some chaos in this Mets’ bullpen – apart from Jefry Yan’s leaping strikeout celebrations – though if Williams’ fatigue turns into anything more serious after they shipped out four relievers and two starters at the trade deadline.

This certainly explains why Daniel Duarte got the call to close out the Guardians with a one-run lead in the 10th inning. Williams hasn’t pitched since throwing 14 pitches in a non-save situation over the weekend. Green added that they expect him to be available for Thursday’s contest, which is encouraging news for fantasy managers.

Duarte will begin his fourth stint in the Mets pen this season. He pitched a total of five scoreless innings during the first three.

Duarte didn’t pitch during his one-day stint in the majors. He’s worked five scoreless innings for the Mets over the course of the season.

Duarte takes the roster spot of David Peterson after Peterson was traded to the Cubs. There’s a good chance this is a very short stint for the 29-year-old, as the Mets are expected to call up Zach Thornton to start Friday’s game to replace Peterson in the rotation.

Duarte heads back to the minors after reeling off five scoreless innings across three appearances for the Mets in a couple of stints this season. He’ll likely return in a couple weeks.

He and Jonathan Pintaro swap places after Pintaro threw three innings last night. The 29-year-old has pitched well at both Triple-A and in the bigs this year. He holds a 3.91 ERA in 23 innings at Triple-A Syracuse, including six starts, so he figures to be a long reliever.

Duarte pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings Tuesday in his Mets debut. He’ll be a candidate to be recalled next time the team needs a reliever.

Duarte has pitched in a hybrid role in Triple-A, providing the Mets with some length. He has a 2.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 14/9 K/BB ratio in 17 1/3 innings across 12 appearances (four starts).

Duarte augments New York’s relief depth entering spring training after spending most of the past two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing 29-year-old righty holds a serviceable 3.99 ERA — 6.11 FIP — and 28/24 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings between the Mets and Twins since 2022.
