Call-up official The Mets selected Sproat's contract from Triple-A Syracuse, and he'll start Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

Impact Sproat becomes the Mets' third big pitching prospect to join the rotation recently, joining Jonah Tong and Nolan McLean. Sproat, a 24-year-old, isn't guaranteed multiple starts. However, Sean Manaea and Clay Holmes have struggled recently, and the Mets aren't afraid to make changes if they believe it'll help them win games now, having recently optioned Kodai Senga to Syracuse. If Sproat shows well Sunday, the Mets could clear a spot in the rotation for him

SEPTEMBER 5 • USATODAY.COM

Set to make MLB debut Sunday The Mets will call up Sproat from Triple-A Syracuse to make his major-league debut Sunday with a start in Cincinnati, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact The youth movement in the Mets' rotation is in full effect, as Sproat will join fellow rookie Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong. Sproat got off to a poor start at Syracuse this season but has posted a 2.44 ERA and 70:21 K:BB over 59 innings covering his last 11 outings and struck out nine across seven shutout frames in his most recent start. The 24-year-old isn't necessarily guaranteed any starts beyond Sunday, but with Kodai Senga, Sean Manaea and Clay Holmes all struggling, Sproat will have an opportunity to stick around if he performs.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Mets mulling call-up Sproat is in "strong consideration" for an upcoming start for the Mets, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Impact Sproat has had an up-and-down season with Triple-A Syracuse and been bypassed by Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong for promotions. However, he's collected a 2.44 ERA and 70:21 K:BB over 59 innings covering his last 11 starts and struck out nine across seven shutout frames his last time out. It's not clear exactly where Sproat would slot into the Mets' rotation, but Kodai Senga's rotation spot is on thin ice and Sean Manaea has also struggled.

AUGUST 12 • Associated Press

Might join big-league bullpen Sproat could be an option for the Mets' bullpen if the team doesn't trade for any high-leverage relievers at the deadline, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact General manager David Stearns has gone this route in the past during his time in Milwaukee, breaking in future aces Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta in relief roles. The Mets are actively working to acquire established bullpen arms however, and using a prospect like Sproat in high-leverage spots during a playoff push would appear to be Plan B. Sproat has had an erratic season with Triple-A Syracuse but is locked in right now, tossing 23 scoreless innings over his last four starts with a 27:6 K:BB.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless stretch at Triple-A Sproat has not allowed a run over his last three starts for Triple-A Syracuse, registering an 18:5 K:BB while giving up seven hits in 18 innings over that stretch.

Impact Sproat had pitched quite poorly at Triple-A prior to this three-start stretch. He hadn't struck out more than four batters in an outing since May 7 prior to fanning six in six scoreless innings June 28 and eight over five scoreless innings July 4. Nolan McLean has had better results than Sproat all season, even recently, as he's logged back-to-back 10-K games, but Sproat has pitched his way back into the mix if the Mets need to summon a starting pitcher from Triple-A.

Mets add pitchers Paul Blackburn and Dedniel Núñez to long injured list

Already running low on pitching, the New York Mets have added starter Paul Blackburn and reliever Dedniel Núñez to a crowded injured list in their latest flurry of roster moves

JULY 4 • Associated Press

Rare strong outing for Syracuse Sproat gave up two hits and three walks over six scoreless innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. He struck out six.

Impact The 24-year-old right-hander tossed 78 pitches (51 strikes) in his best outing in nearly a month. Sproat has struggled with his consistency this season, and he's issued multiple walks in five of his last seven trips to the mound -- a stretch in which, even after Saturday's performance, he's posted a 4.88 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and poor 18:19 K:BB over 27.2 innings. The Mets' big-league rotation is in tatters with Kodai Senga (hamstring), Griffin Canning (Achilles) and Tylor Megill (elbow) all currently on the IL and Sean Manaea (elbow) not quite ready to make his 2025 debut, but Sproat doesn't appear ready to help.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Finding groove at Triple-A Sproat gave up one run on two hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Saturday's start for Triple-A Syracuse.

Impact After a bumpy first outing this season, Sproat has bounced back to post an 8:2 K:BB over his last two starts and 8.1 innings for Syracuse. The 24-year-old righty tossed 75 pitches (51 strikes) in Saturday's appearance, and while he'll need to be more efficient before he'll be a real option for a spot start with the Mets, he's making progress toward his big-league debut.

Sent to minor-league camp Sproat was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sproat made a good first impression in major-league camp, tossing a pair of clean innings while touching 99 mph in his first-ever Grapefruit League appearance last Friday. A second-round pick by the Mets in 2023, Sproat is now considered by many to be the top pitching prospect in the organization, though he struggled to a 7.85 ERA in seven starts with Triple-A Syracuse down the stretch last season. The right-hander will look to improve upon that number and earn his way onto the Mets' 40-man and 26-man rosters this summer.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Two perfect innings in spring debut Sproat threw two perfect innings against the Nationals on Friday in his Grapefruit League debut, striking out one batter.

Impact The 24-year-old right-hander retired all six batters he faced and reached 99 mph on a swinging strikeout of Robert Hassell. Widely considered the organization's top pitching prospect, Sproat is knocking on the door for a Mets team that is already down Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat) in the starting rotation to begin the season. A return to Triple-A Syracuse is fully expected for Sproat, who is not yet on the 40-man roster, but manager Carlos Mendoza noted after Friday's exhibition that the Mets will need arms to get through the season and Sproat is "certainly one they will be monitoring," Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
