The New York Mets are continuing their late season rotation overhaul. Right-hander Brandon Sproat will be called up to make his MLB debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds , according to SNY . The team has not yet announced the move. The Mets called up fellow rookie righties Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong in recent weeks.
Sproat, 24, entered this season as one of the top 50 prospects in baseball , though he struggled badly the first few weeks in Triple-A. He had a 6.69 ERA with 27 strikeouts and 17 walks in 36 ⅓ innings in his first nine starts. Since then, Sproat has a 3.19 ERA with 86 strikeouts and 36 walks in 84 ⅔ innings. The Mets recently had him make a relief appearance in Triple-A as well.
