Impact Barnes was traded to Toronto from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations earlier Saturday. It sounds like the right-hander will join the 26-man roster for the start of the series in Miami on Tuesday, though nothing has been made official at this point. Barnes posted a subpar 6.27 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while logging 18.2 innings with the Mets prior to Saturday's trade.

Secures second save Barnes recorded the final out of the seventh inning for the save in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Impact Barnes inherited a runner on first base with two outs in the seventh inning, and he got Ryan McMahon to fly out to left field to end the game. The 31-year-old has two saves in his last three appearances. These were unique situations, as one was extra innings and Thursday's was a seven-inning doubleheader. He doesn't normally receive any save opportunities. Barnes has a 6.43 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in 14 innings.

Nabs extra-inning save Barnes recorded the final out of Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Marlins to record his first save of the season.

Impact After the Mets scored three runs in the top of the 12th inning, Aaron Loup entered the game to try and finish it off with all the team's high-leverage arms having worked earlier in the evening. The left-hander gave up two runs and got two outs over his minimum three batters, before Barnes was summoned and induced a flyout from Adam Duvall. Barnes now has one save to go with his one win and one hold on the year, but his 7.71 ERA -- fueled by four homers allowed in 11.2 innings -- will keep him far away from key situations on most nights.

Stuck with loss Wednesday Barnes (1-1) allowed a run on one hit and struck out two in one inning in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact The right-hander got through the eighth inning without trouble, but Ronald Acuna hit a walkoff solo home run against him in the ninth. Barnes has struggled to a 7.94 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings this year. He has just one hold in 11 outings -- given his inconsistent play, he's unlikely to see many high-leverage opportunities.

Officially breaks camp with Mets Barnes has made the Mets' Opening Day roster, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Barnes appeared likely to break camp with the Mets since he's out of minor-league options. The right-hander posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in six innings this spring. While Barnes will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever early in the season, he could take on a higher-leverage role if he pitches well to begin the year.

Closing in on bullpen role Barnes appears likely to begin the season as part of the Mets' bullpen, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander's 5.40 ERA this spring isn't impressive, but he does have a 6:2 K:BB through five innings -- and, perhaps more importantly, Barnes is out of minor-league options. Expect the 30-year-old to fill a fairly low-leverage role initially, but if he pitches effectively, he could work his way into a more fantasy-friendly assignment in a bullpen that remains unsettled behind closer Edwin Diaz and eighth-inning man Trevor May.
