With the Mets not having an off day until the All-Star break, New York is calling up right-hander Dan Hammer ahead of Thursday's series finale with the Royals, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.
Hammer, 28, has made 27 appearances between Double-A and Triple-A this season. He's pitched to a 2.16 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP while striking out 38 batters across 33.1 innings between the two levels. With Syracuse, Hammer has pitched to an impressive 1.77 ERA across 17 appearances with the Triple-A club.
Before signing a minor league contract with the Mets this spring, Hammer spent six seasons in the Orioles and Rays systems. After being drafted by Baltimore in the 13th round of the 2019 MLB Draft, Tampa Bay selected him in the 2025 Rule 5 Draft.
Whenever Hammer takes the mound for the Mets, it will be his big league debut.
As for whose spot Hammer will take, it's currently unclear. The Mets recently recalled Xzavion Curry from Triple-A on Wednesday and the right-hander tossed 22 pitches in his one inning of work in the Mets' win, so it could be him.
Hammer's recall and the corresponding move will be official shortly before the Mets wrap up their series at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday.
