Joins big-league bullpen The Mets recalled Medina from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact He'll join New York's bullpen as a replacement for Trevor May (triceps), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Medina previously made one relief appearance for the Mets earlier in the season, striking out the side in a perfect inning against Arizona on April 23.

Sent to Triple-A Medina was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Medina was promoted Saturday and made his season debut in Arizona, and he struck out the side on 22 pitches. He'll head back to the minors but should be in the mix to rejoin the Mets later in the year. Yoan Lopez was recalled from Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Called up by Mets Medina was called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Medina made only a couple appearances with Syracuse after being acquired by the Mets earlier this month, but that was all the club needed to see before adding him to the big-league roster. He will work out of the bullpen and could cover multiple innings if needed.

APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Acquired by Mets Medina was traded by the Pirates to the Mets on Thursday in exchange for cash, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Medina was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Wednesday, and he'll now join his third time since December. Medina was once a well-regarded prospect while in Philadelphia's organization, though he has struggled to produce in the upper levels of the minor leagues. He will start the 2022 season with Triple-A Syracuse.

Expunged from 40-man roster The Pirates designated Medina for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Medina's removal from the 40-man roster clears a spot for the newly signed Andrew Knapp, who will open the season as the Pirates' No. 2 catcher. Meanwhile, Medina will be in DFA limbo for the second time this offseason, after the Phillies previously dropped him from their 40-man roster in December before he was claimed off waivers by the Pirates in March once the lockout concluded. If he clears waivers this time around, Medina will stick in Pittsburgh's organization and report to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Optioned to Triple-A Medina was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Impact Medina is just 25 years old and was an interesting prospect in the lower minors, but his star has faded to the point that he was designated for assignment by the Phillies over the winter. The Pirates don't have a particularly tough rotation to break into, but his 5.05 ERA in 17 Triple-A starts last year suggests he has more work to do before making a push for a starting role in the majors.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Pittsburgh Medina was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Wednesday.

Impact Medina was designated for assignment by the Phillies in early December just ahead of the lockout, and he's now been claimed off waivers over three months later. The 25-year-old allowed three earned runs over 7.2 big-league frames in 2021 and spent most of the year at Triple-A, where he had a 5.05 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB over 67.2 innings (17 starts).

DFA'd by Philly Medina was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Wednesday.

Impact Medina allowed three earned runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 7.2 frames in his first taste of big-league action in 2021. He spent most of the year at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and had a 5.05 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 17 starts. The move cleared a space on the 40-man roster for the signing of Johan Camargo.

Pitches into fourth Medina pitched 3.2 innings, surrendering one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three in Tuesday's win over the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact The 24-year-old operated as the opener in this one, only giving up an RBI-single to Ramon Urias in the top of the fourth inning. He has now pitched 5.2 innings while giving up one run since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sept. 11. He is expected to start again Sunday versus the Pirates.

Starting Tuesday Medina is starting Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Medina made his season debut when he tossed two scoreless innings against the Cubs on Sept. 16, and he'll pitch on normal rest to begin Tuesday's bullpen game. The right-hander made 17 starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year and posted a 5.05 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 67.2 innings.

Promoted to majors Medina was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact He has a 5.05 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 67.2 innings at Triple-A. Medina will likely pitch in low-leverage situations.

Moves to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Medina to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact The Phillies brought back Chase Anderson (triceps) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Medina was only up with the Phillies for a day and didn't appear out of the bullpen in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from minors The Phillies recalled Medina from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact The righty has posted a 4.94 ERA and 40:17 K:BB in 51 innings as a starter with Triple-A this season. Medina hasn't pitched more than three innings in a game since the beginning of July, so he figures to be a multi-inning relief option for the Phillies going forward.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from injured list Medina (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact It never became clear what forced Medina to the IL, but he'll now return to the active roster after missing just under four weeks. The right-hander will take the ball Tuesday, where he'll resume his Triple-A campaign with a 5.73 ERA.

JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down with injury Triple-A Lehigh Valley placed Medina on its 7-day injured list July 2 due to an unspecified issue, Tom Housenick of The Allentown Morning Call reports.

Impact The 24-year-old right-hander posted a 5.73 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 10 starts before he was shut down with the injury. Even if he had avoided the setback, Medina wasn't in position to receive a call-up to the big leagues at any point in the near future.

Seen as rotation depth Medina is viewed as one of the Phillies' top options for rotation depth, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Medina was one of the Phillies' top pitching prospects in the not too distant past, but his stock took a significant hit after a poor season at the Double-A level in 2019 in which he struggled to a 4.94 ERA while striking out just 17.5 percent of opposing batters. He made his major-league debut with a single spot start last season but will begin this year with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Vince Velasquez will begin the year in the big-league bullpen and will be the primary option for a spot start, but Medina could be right behind him, as Spencer Howard (back) is expected to work in a multi-inning relief role early in the year once he gets healthy.
