Sean Reid-Foley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to SNY, relief pitcher Sean Reid-Foley and the New York Mets have agreed on a one-year deal to avoid arbitration. The 29-year-old logged only 21 2/3 innings in Queens last season as he battled numerous injuries all summer. During this small stint, he posted a strong 1.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with a stellar 27.8% K rate. In addition, he boasted a 62.7% ground ball rate and a 1.98 xBA. This past summer, Reid-Foley typically pitched in the seventh and eighth innings, and fantasy managers should expect him to return to that similar role in 2025. With Edwin Diaz expected to see the vast majority of save opportunities, fantasy managers in holds leagues should still consider drafting Reid-Foley as he could become the bona fide set-up man on a competing Mets team.

The Athletic's Tim Britton writes that it's looking unlikely that New York Mets right-hander Sean Reid-Foley (shoulder) will be able to return this year. Reid-Foley has been out since June with a right-shoulder impingement. He was attempting to make a return in early August but was laboring with his command during a minor-league rehab assignment and was shut down two weeks ago to allow him to build up strength in his shoulder. The fact that Reid-Foley hasn't resumed throwing makes it all but official that he won't make it back in the final month of the season in September. The 29-year-old has already missed more than 60 days and could be moved to the 60-day injured list if the Mets need more roster space. Reid-Foley pitched well in 23 appearances out of the bullpen earlier this year before his injury, allowing four unearned runs, although he also walked 14 and struck out 25 in 21 2/3 innings.

New York Mets right-hander Sean Reid-Foley (shoulder) walked three of the five batters he faced in his minor-league rehab outing for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday, throwing 25 pitches while recording a strikeout. Reid-Foley was set to check in with the team's medical staff in New York on Monday before being dispatched on another rehab outing later in the week. Manager Carlos Mendoza said that Reid-Foley's readiness to return to the big-league club will partly depend on his performance with Binghamton. "We want to see how the ball is coming out of his hand and how he's going to bounce back," Mendoza said. "We're going to need him when he gets here to go back-to-back [days] and one-plus [innings]." The 28-year-old had an impressive 1.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 25 K's but also 14 walks in 21 2/3 innings of relief for the Mets before suffering a right-shoulder impingement.
