Zuber

With the move, the Mets are now down to 43 players remaining on the big league side of camp. Zuber, 29, pitched very well in Grapefruit League competition, registering a minuscule 1.17 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 6/4 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 frames. He should get an opportunity to work out of the Mets’ bullpen at some point during the 2025 campaign.

Zuber was hit in the back by a comebacker in the sixth inning of Sunday’s game and left after an extended mound visit with his manager as well as team trainers. It doesn’t appear that the 29-year-old right-hander suffered a significant injury. Provided health, Zuber will continue to compete for a spot in the Mets’ bullpen this spring.

Fellow deadline acquisition Huascar Brazoban received an immediate spot in the Mets bullpen, but Zuber will head to the minors for now. He had only recently debuted for the Rays, and he gave up one run in 3 1/3 innings prior to Tuesday’s trade.

Zuber is a side-armer who signed a minor league deal with the Rays back in mid-May following a stint with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League. He has allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings for the Rays in 2024 after not having appeared in the big leagues since making 54 relief appearances for the Royals from 2020-2021. He’ll add a little more depth to the Mets bullpen.

Zuber was just optioned out on Tuesday, but he’ll head right back to join the big-league bullpen after Randy Arozarena was dealt away to the Mariners on Thursday night. Expect that the 29-year-old hurler will be utilized in the middle innings by manager Kevin Cash.

Zuber was recalled Sunday and allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings of work in his lone appearance with the team. He’ll head back to Durham with Tyler Alexander recalled in the corresponding transaction.

Zuber, 29, was added to the 40-man roster on July 18, and now he’ll get a chance to make his season debut a few days later. He’ll be a bullpen option for the Rays, but he will replace Ryan Pepiot on the active roster after Pepiot was placed on the injured list with a knee infection.

Zuber has been officially added to Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster, but will remain stationed at Triple-A Durham for now as emergency relief depth. The 29-year-old side-winder inked a minor league deal with the Rays back in mid-May following a stint with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League. He hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since making 54 relief appearances for the Royals from 2020-2021.

Zuber, 28, was signed from the Long Island Ducks of the Independent League. The right-hander was a member of the Guardians during spring training, but he failed to make the team after a shaky showing in the Cactus League. Zuber provides organizational depth for the remainder of 2024, and he’ll need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to pitch in the majors this season.

The 28-year-old right-hander hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2021. He spent the 2023 campaign in the Diamondbacks’ organization where he registered a 5.23 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and an 18/10 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings in 16 appearances at Triple-A Reno. He’ll fight for a spot in the team’s Opening Day bullpen.
