Could be used in bullpen in 2026 The Mets are considering using Sproat as a multi-inning reliever in 2026, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Mets still view Sproat as a starting pitcher over the long haul, but there's currently not room for him in the major-league rotation and the club believes he can help in the bullpen. Sproat made four starts for the Mets in September, finishing with a 4.79 ERA and 17:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings. The 25-year-old posted a 4.24 ERA and 113:53 K:BB across 121 frames in 2025 with Triple-A Syracuse.

Sandy Alcantara gave up two runs in seven-plus innings, Connor Norby homered and the Miami Marlins rallied to beat the New York Mets 6-2

Crumbles in fifth inning Sproat (1-2) took the loss Friday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Sproat cruised through four innings to begin his outing, but things fell apart for him when he conceded four runs amid the Marlins' six-run fifth frame. The two strikeouts were his fewest of the season, as he was unable to give the playoff-hopeful Mets a quality showing in what was a crucial game for the club. Sproat has struggled with run prevention despite not giving up a single home run in four starts, as he'll wrap up the regular season with a 4.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings.

One bad frame in no-decision Sproat did not factor into the decision in Friday's 12-6 win over the Nationals, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

Impact Sproat tossed three perfect frames but was done in by a four-run third inning, throwing 42 of his 71 total pitches for strikes while generating just six whiffs. The outing was a step back for the 25-year-old after he opened his career with back-to-back quality starts, but he still owns a respectable 3.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 16 major-league innings. Sproat will look to finish the regular season on a high note in a tough road matchup with the Cubs next week.

Brilliant start wasted Sproat didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, allowing six hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Impact Making his second trip to the mound in the big leagues, Sproat rose to the occasion in the heat of a playoff race as he needed only 70 pitches (53 strikes) to deliver his second straight quality start. The right-hander left the mound in line for his first career win, but Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth. Sproat will take a 2.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB through his first 12 MLB innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Nationals.

SEPTEMBER 13 • Associated Press

Lands another start Sproat is slated to start Saturday's game against the Rangers at Citi Field.

Impact Called up from Triple-A Syracuse last weekend, Sproat turned in a largely impressive MLB debut in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds. The 24-year-old righty held the Reds hitless through the first 5.1 innings but unraveled a bit thereafter, finishing the contest with three earned runs allowed on three hits and four walks while striking out seven across six frames. He spotted 58 of his 88 pitches for strikes in the outing and averaged 96.1 miles per hour with his fastball, though he didn't induce many whiffs (six swinging strikes). With the Mets recently dispatching the struggling Kodai Senga to the minors and with Sean Manaea's standing in the rotation on shaky ground, Sproat should have a good chance to make three more starts with the big club through the end of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Fans seven in loss Sproat (0-1) allowed three runs on three hits and four walks over six innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Reds.

Impact Sproat was promoted for his MLB debut Sunday and delivered a quality start. He gave up just one run through five innings before the Reds scored a pair in the sixth. He tossed 58 of his 88 pitches for strikes, but he forced only six whiffs. Sproat has a deep arsenal, led by his sinker that averaged 95.9 mph Sunday. As of now, the 24-year-old would be lined up for a home start against Texas next weekend, but it's unclear if he'll stay in the rotation.
