Hunter

Hunter debuted as a starter with the Rangers in 2008 and went 13-4 with a 3.73 ERA two years later. He eventually settled into the pen and on three occasions put up sub-3.00 ERAs in seasons of at least 60 appearances before battling injures in his 30s. Overall, he finishes up at 56-47 with a 4.07 ERA (105 ERA+) and 22 saves in 76 starts and 432 relief appearances.

The 36-year-old hurler had been designated for assignment over the weekend. Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Syracuse, he’ll explore what else is available on the open market. Hunter struggled to a 6.85 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 20/5 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings in his 14 appearances with the Mets this season.

Hunter has been removed from New York’s 40-man roster after struggling to a calamitous 6.85 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 20/5 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings (14 appearances) this season. The 36-year-old veteran reliever has spent 16 seasons in the majors since 2008, but this might be the end of the road.

Hunter rejoins the Mets’ bullpen for Wednesday’s series finale against the Dodgers. The 36-year-old veteran righty has been out since early April due to back spasms.

A loaded lineup has been the story for Triple-A Syracuse this season, but they got a lift from Hunter on Friday in his first rehab outing. The veteran righty has been on the shelf since early April due to back spasms. There’s a chance he’s ready to return sometime next week.

Hunter is eligible to return from the injured list next Wednesday. The 36-year-old reliever landed on the shelf last week due to back spasms.

The 36-year-old hurler had struggled through his first two outings of the season, giving up five runs in his four innings of work (11.25 ERA). No word yet on how long he may be sidelined. Denyi Reyes had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse to replace him in the Mets’ bullpen.

As expected, Hunter has made the Mets’ season-opening roster and is now officially on the club’s 40-man roster after re-signing last December on a minor league contract. The 36-year-old veteran right-hander made 18 relief appearances last season for New York and returns for a 16th season in the majors.

Hunter had an opt out in his minor league contract with the Mets, but winds up securing a spot in their season-opening bullpen. The 36-year-old veteran reliever made six scoreless relief appearances this spring to earn a 16th season in the majors.

Hunter made 18 relief appearances last year for the Mets, finishing with a sparkling 2.42 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22/6 K/BB ratio across 22 1/3 innings, and will return for a potential 16th season in the majors. The 36-year-old veteran righty reliever will presumably receive an invitation to spring training and will compete for a spot on New York’s Opening Day roster. At a bare minimum, Hunter represents a solid organizational depth addition.
