The New York Mets have been on fire to begin the 2025 MLB season. Despite a recent series loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York has still managed to earn a 21-11 record. Additionally, they have gained a 3.5 game lead in the National League East over second-place Philadelphia Phillies.
The Mets have benefited greatly from an outstanding pitching staff. Both their rotation and bullpen have been superb thus far. But unfortunately, not every pitcher has lived up to expectations, and as a result, some tough decisions have needed to be made. This includes having to demote a struggling veteran after one poor outing.

Earlier this week, the Mets announced right-handed relief pitcher José Ureña had been designated for assignment. MLB’s Anthony DiComo took to his X account on Friday to announce the latest update on his status.
“Mets roster move: José Ureña elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to the minors," he wrote.
The 33-year-old appeared in just one game for New York this season. In three innings pitched, Ureña allowed five runs, for a 15.00 ERA. The 11-year veteran has pitched for seven teams in his career. During his time in the Majors, he has accumulated 2.2 bWAR, struck out 638 batters, and surrendered a 4.80 ERA.
New York decided to designate the veteran pitcher for assignment just one day after his season debut. In a corresponding move, the Mets recalled reliever Kevin Herget.
Herget has appeared in one game for New York, which was on Tuesday. He pitched two innings, allowing one run on three hits to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He struck out just one batter in his lone appearance.
