Joey Lucchesi - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Gets another start The Mets list Lucchesi as their probable starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Nationals at Citi Field.

Impact With Carlos Carrasco (elbow) hitting the 15-day injured list, Lucchesi was summoned from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday to join New York's rotation in what was his first MLB appearance since June 2021. The southpaw certainly earned another turn through the rotation, as he struck out nine over seven shutout innings Friday as the Mets cruised to an easy 7-0 win over the Giants. With a matchup on tap versus a weak Nationals offense that enters Sunday ranked 26th in the majors in wRC+ (83), Lucchesi shapes up as an intriguing streaming option during the upcoming week.

Pitches gem in MLB return Lucchesi (1-0) earned the win Friday, allowing four hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings in a 7-0 win over San Francisco. He struck out nine.

Impact After a two-year absence from the big leagues due to his Tommy John surgery in 2021, Lucchesi turned in the best performance by a Mets starting pitcher so far this year. The southpaw was called up from Triple-A Syracuse before the game, and he hit the ground running. It's currently unclear what the 29-year-old's role will be once teammates Carlos Carrasco and Max Scherzer come back from injury and suspension, respectively.

Officially recalled to make start Lucchesi was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact Lucchesi officially gets the call to start against the Giants on Friday. The left-hander will be making his first MLB appearance since June 2021 as he's missed almost two years -- with the exception of late minor-league duty -- while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He pitched well with 15 strikeouts over 15.2 innings with Syracuse along with a 2.30 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over three starts in the minors, and he has had some success at the highest level while a member of the Padres.

Will start Friday Lucchesi will be called up to start Friday's game against San Francisco, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Friday will mark Lucchesi's first major-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2021. He's made three solid starts in Triple-A this season, recording a 2.30 ERA and 1.18 WHIP alongside 15 strikeouts across 15.2 innings.

Candidate for promotion Lucchesi could be called up to take the place of Carlos Carrasco (elbow) in the Mets' rotation, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jeff Brigham was the immediate replacement on the roster for Carrasco when he was placed on the injured list Tuesday, but Brigham is purely a bullpen option. Lucchesi hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2021, but the 29-year-old southpaw has had a solid start to the current campaign with Triple-A Syracuse, posting a 2.30 ERA and 15:7 K:BB through three starts and 15.2 innings. Lucchesi last pitched for Syracuse on April 13 and had his turn skipped Tuesday, so he should be available to join the big-league rotation at any time.

Optioned to Triple-A Lucchesi was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Lucchesi is being stretched out as a starter, and the left-hander will get a chance to pitch in the Syracuse rotation. A good showing at that level could see him making starts for a New York rotation that is not exactly filled with healthy options right now, but he can be left off fantasy rosters at this stage.

Will be stretched out in camp Lucchesi will be stretched out as a starter in spring training, indicating he could begin the regular season in the rotation at Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports...

Impact The Mets have five veteran starters on guaranteed contracts, which means when everyone is healthy, depth options like Lucchesi will either work out of the big-league bullpen or get stashed in Syracuse. As the 29-year-old lefty has minor-league options remaining, the latter route seems more likely to begin the season. Lucchesi didn't pitch at all in the majors last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery but made eight of his 11 appearances for the Mets in 2021 as a starter, posting a 4.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB over 38.1 innings.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids arbitration Lucchesi agreed to a one-year, $1.15 million contract with the Mets to avoid arbitration Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lucchesi's salary will remain identical to what he earned in 2022, though he didn't pitch at all while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Lucchesi was able to build up to multiple innings in late September on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse, which should provide some optimism that he'll be ready to pitch to start 2023. He'll likely begin the season in the Mets' bullpen, though he could make spot starts as needed.
