Sent to minors The Mets optioned Medina to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Medina's demotion comes after he was tagged for six runs (five earned) on five hits and a walk over 1.1 innings in Monday's 13-1 loss to Atlanta. Since Medina was unlikely to be available in the bullpen for at least the next two days after the 50-pitch appearance, the Mets opted to swap him off the active roster for a fresh reliever in R.J. Alvarez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A.

Returns to majors Medina was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in between games of Saturday's doubleheader, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Mets swapped out their Game 1 starter -- David Peterson -- for some extra bullpen depth in Medina ahead of the nightcap. Medina has split his season to date between Syracuse and Queens, posting identical 3.00 ERAs in 11 appearances at both stops.

Sent down Thursday Medina was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Medina fired three scoreless innings Wednesday against the Reds, and he'll head back to the minors in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. The 25-year-old has a 3.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 21 innings for the Mets this year, so it should only be a matter of time before he receives another look in the majors.

Nabs first career save Medina retired three of the four batters he faced to claim his first career save Sunday in the Mets' 5-4 win over the Dodgers in 10 innings.

Impact After normal closer Edwin Diaz was used in the eighth inning to protect a two-run lead, Seth Lugo was summoned for the bullpen for the save chance in the bottom of the ninth, but he was unable to close the door. The Mets were able to come away with a go-ahead run in the top of the 10th, and few of the team's other high-leverage relievers available at that point in the game, manager Buck Showalter turned to Medina for the save chance. Though Medina was able to get the job done, he's not expected to be a regular part of the late-inning bridge to Diaz.

Returns to big club The Mets recalled Medina from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact New York optioned first baseman/designated hitter Dominic Smith to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Medina, who has now been called up for the fifth time in May. He most recently served as the Mets' 27th man for its May 21 doubleheader with the Rockies, covering 1.1 innings out of the bullpen in Game 2 and giving up five earned runs. Following his demotion to Triple-A a day after the twin bill, he didn't appear in any games, so he'll provide the bullpen with a fresh arm for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Back in minors The Mets optioned Medina to Triple-A Syracuse on May 22.

Impact Medina's latest stint with the Mets lasted just one day, as he was sent back to Syracuse after serving as the big club's 27th man for its May 21 doubleheader with the Rockies. He appeared in the second game of the twin bill that day, working 1.1 innings of relief while serving up five runs on six hits.

Impact Medina served as the 27th man during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he'll serve as an extra man once again during Saturday's twin bill. The right-hander has made three relief appearances for the Mets this year and has struck out six in 6.1 scoreless innings.

Returns to minors The Mets optioned Medina to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Medina was removed from the active roster after he served as the Mets' 27th man in Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals. He tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of long relief behind starter Taijuan Walker in Game 2, striking out two while allowing four baserunners. Prior to his call-up, Medina made two of his four appearances with Syracuse out of the bullpen, but he could step into a more permanent role in the rotation in his return to Triple-A. Syracuse should have an opening with David Peterson expected to be called up this weekend to replace the injured Max Scherzer (oblique) in the big-league rotation.

Back in big leagues The Mets recalled Medina from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Medina is being designated as the 27th man for the twin bill and is thus likely to return to Syracuse after the twin bill, though the Mets could opt to keep him around in the big leagues if the team prefers to move another pitcher down to the minors or to the injured list Wednesday. At least for the doubleheader, Medina will give the Mets an option out of the bullpen capable of covering multiple innings behind Trevor Williams and Taijuan Walker, who will start Games 1 and 2, respectively.

Impact New York plans to deploy Trevor Williams and Taijuan Walker as its starting pitchers in some order for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, but Medina could be a candidate to join the big club as the 27th man for the twin bill. If called up from Syracuse, Medina would offer the Mets a multi-inning option out of the bullpen.

Remains up for doubleheader Medina was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse but was immediately recalled to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Medina has fired 3.2 scoreless frames in two appearances for the Mets this season, but it apparently wasn't enough to retain his spot on the big-league roster. The 25-year-old will be available for Sunday's twin bill before heading back to the minors.

Collects first big-league win Medina (1-0) picked up the win in Thursday's comeback victory over the Phillies, allowing one hit and striking out one over 2.2 scoreless innings of relief.

Impact Facing the team that drafted him back in 2014, Medina entered the game with one out in the sixth inning and the Mets in a 7-1 hole, and the 25-year-old was rewarded for his efforts when New York rallied for an incredible seven runs in the top of the ninth. Medina has seen his prospect stock tumble in recent years in the Phillies' system, but he could be making a home for himself as a long reliever in the Mets' bullpen.
