    According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the Giants signed LHP Joey Lucchesi to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    The contract will pay Lucchesi $1.5 million if he pitches MLB innings this season. The 31-year-old made just two starts for the Mets in 2024 and pitched to a 4.70 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 86/56 K/BB ratio in 115 innings at Triple-A Syracuse. He figures to just be organization depth or a possible long-reliever out of the bullpen for the Giants in 2025.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #47
    Mets LHP Joey Lucchesi has elected free agency.
    Lucchesi made a pair of starts last year for the Mets and wound up making 22 appearances (19 starts) over three years dating back to 2021. The 31-year-old southpaw’s time with the organization is over and he’ll likely have to settle for a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. He’s a solid emergency organizational depth option, but doesn’t really offer much upside at this point.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #47
    Joey Lucchesi gave the Mets six innings of one-run ball Monday in the second game of the doubleheader against the Braves.
    Lucchesi took the loss, but he gave the Mets exactly what they wanted, eating six innings in a game they didn’t need to win. That he was effective was simply a nice bonus. Lucchesi isn’t likely to be included on any of the Mets’ postseason rosters going forward.

    Mets selected the contract of LHP Joey Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse.
    Lucchesi will start Game 2 against the Braves with the Mets having clinched a postseason spot. The veteran has made just one start in the majors this season, giving up five runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Phillies on May 15. He had a 4.70 ERA in 115 innings for Syracuse.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #47
    Mets sent LHP Joey Lucchesi outright to Triple-A Syracuse.
    Lucchesi will stick around with New York as emergency starting pitching depth after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The 31-year-old southpaw made one start earlier this year for the Mets and holds a respectable 4.14 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 383/133 K/BB ratio across 388 2/3 innings (80 appearances, 76 starts) in the big leagues dating back to 2018.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #47
    Mets designated LHP Joey Lucchesi for assignment.
    Lucchesi has been removed from New York’s 40-man roster to make room for newly-acquired reliever Phil Maton. The 31-year-old lefty has made only one start this season for the Mets. He figures to generate some interest on waivers in the coming days.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher #91
    Mets recalled LHP Josh Walker from Triple-A Syracuse.
    The Mets wanted extra bullpen insurance with a long stretch of games coming up, so they optioned Joey Lucchesi, who had just started on Wednesday to bring up Walker. The 29-year-old has thrown three scoreless innings at the big league level so far this year with three strikeouts and one walk. His time in New York doesn’t figure to be long since he will likely be the next man down when the Mets need a starter again.

    Mets optioned LHP Joey Lucchesi to Triple-A Syracuse.
    Lucchesi started on Wednesday night and was ineffective, allowing five runs on five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He’ll now be sent down so the Mets can bring up reliever Josh Walker and get extra insurance for the bullpen with a long stretch of games coming up. We’ll likely see Lucchesi up again, but he remains off the fantasy radar for now.

    Joey Lucchesi allowed five earned runs on five hits in 4 ⅓ innings in a loss Wednesday in Philadelphia. He also walked four and struck out just two.
    Lucchesi was recalled for the spot-start in this one as the Mets transitioned to a six-man rotation. He was cruising until a disastrous fifth inning in which he walked three before the Phillies opened the flood gates. It’s unlikely Lucchesi gets another turn in the rotation after this start with Tylor Megill due back soon and Adrian Houser supposedly returning to a starting role.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #47
    Mets recalled LHP Joey Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse.
    Lucchesi will be making his season debut after amassing a 2.58 ERA and a 28/16 K/BB ratio over 38 1/3 innings in seven starts for Norfolk. He’ll serve as the spot starter against the Phillies today and then probably get returned to Triple-A.
