New York Mets right-handed pitcher Sean Reid-Foley cleared waivers. The Mets placed Reid-Foley on waivers earlier this week and will now begin his 2025 campaign with Triple-A Syracuse. Last season, Reid-Foley logged 21 2/3 innings with the Mets and held a strong 1.66 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP. He tallied 25 punchouts but showed weak command of his pitches as he served up walks with a 15.6 percent rate. Reid-Foley generated an elite 62.7 percent ground-ball rate with a stellar .198 xBA. Across 131 2/3 career innings in the majors, the former second-round selection has held a 4.10 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP. Reid-Foley will likely get the call to the majors when the Mets need additional depth in their bullpen later in the season.

The New York Mets have placed right-handed pitcher Sean Reid-Foley on waivers. Reid-Foley signed a one-year contract with the Mets earlier in the offseason to avoid arbitration. Last season, the 29-year-old was enjoying a strong start to his 2024 campaign as he held a 1.66 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP through 21 2/3 innings. He tallied 25 punchouts and generated a stellar .198 xBA. However, his season was eventually cut short by a shoulder injury in late June. During his lone appearance in spring training, his velocity was down, which raised some concern. This transaction now opens a spot on the 40-man roster. If Reid-Foley can continue to show improvement before the regular season, he could draw interest as a middle reliever on waivers. Through 131 2/3 career innings in the majors, the right-hander has held a 4.10 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP.

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Sean Reid-Foley (shoulder) is expected to make the Opening Day roster. The 29-year-old is recovering from a right shoulder impingement. However, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com expects the reliever to have a spot on the 40-man roster if he continues his steady progression. Last season, the right-hander posted a stellar 1.66 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP across 21 2/3 innings. He tallied 25 punchouts but showed weak command of his pitches as he served up walks at a high 15.6 percent rate. However, Reid-Foley was able to generate ground balls at an elite 62.7 percent rate which was well above the average marks. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during camp. If he can make an appearance in spring training, he should be in a good position to start the season in the major leagues. He will likely compete for a high-leverage role in the bullpen.
