Luis Mey - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Impressive in long relief Mey gave up two hits and struck out four over 2.2 scoreless relief innings in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals. He didn't walk a batter.

Impact All the scoring had already occurred by the time Mey took the mound to begin fifth inning in a bullpen day for the Reds, but the 25-year-old right-hander did what he could to keep the door open for a potential comeback. It was Mey's first big-league action since June 5, and also the first time in eight MLB appearances this season that he didn't issue a free pass. Control remains his biggest hurdle to a more prominent role -- he's got an 18:10 K:BB in 11.1 innings for Cincinnati in 2026 -- but Mey's upper-90s sinker and wipeout slider give him a sky-high ceiling if things begin to click.

Impact Mey will make his third stint with the big-league club after being recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday. During his time with Louisville this campaign, the 25-year-old has recorded a 3.86 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 51:26 K:BB through 37.1 innings. With Hunter Greene (elbow) sidelined on the 15-day IL, Mey will fill the open spot on the Reds' active roster.

Sent back down to minors The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact Mey was recalled from Louisville on Tuesday and got into one game with the Reds, allowing two runs on three walks, a hit batsman and one hit over one-third of an inning versus St. Louis on Friday. He'll now return to the minors in order to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Rhett Lowder (shoulder), who was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Back in majors The Reds recalled Mey from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander spent the past couple weeks at Louisville but is back with the Reds Tuesday for his second big-league stint of the season. Mey made six appearances for Cincinnati earlier this year and gave up five earned runs with a 14:7 K:BB across 8.1 innings.

Sent to Triple-A The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact Mey was called up by Cincinnati in late April and made six appearances in the big leagues, giving up five earned runs with a 14:7 K:BB across 8.1 innings. He'll return to Triple-A for now but could return to the big leagues when the Reds need bullpen depth.

Summoned from minors The Reds recalled Mey from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Mey has offered a mixed bag at Louisville this season, posting a 4.91 ERA and 1.46 WHIP but also a 14:3 K:BB over 11 innings. The hard thrower might only be with the big club for a few days while Graham Ashcraft is on the bereavement list.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Mey will fall short of a spot in Cincinnati's Opening Day bullpen after surrendering nine earned runs in just six Cactus League innings. Although he struggled this spring, the 24-year-old righty posted a 3.43 ERA in 21 innings with the Reds last season and a 2.48 ERA across 40 frames in the minors, so he figures to rejoin the big-league squad at some point this year whenever Cincinnati needs a fresh arm.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Louisville The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Mey has managed to hold the opposition to one run over 6.2 innings during his latest stint in the majors, but that's in spite of nine hits and seven walks. The Reds will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Friday's game in Arizona.

Back with big club The Reds recalled Mey from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Returns to minors The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Impact Mey was called up Friday after fellow reliever Scott Barlow was placed on the paternity list, but with Barlow back with the club Saturday, Mey is heading back to Louisville. The righty didn't get into Friday's contest but has a good chance of being back with the big club at some point later this season if a spot in the bullpen opens up.

JULY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Mey showed the good and the bad during his first big-league stint in May, yielding one run with a 12:3 K:BB over his first 8.1 innings before stumbling in his next 4.2 frames as he allowed five runs with a 2:4 K:BB. The hard-throwing reliever will aim for more consistency this time around.

Impact After starting his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through 10 innings, Mey has given up four earned runs in three frames across his last three appearances.

Strong start to MLB career Mey struck out two and didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless inning during Thursday's 7-1 win against the White Sox.

Impact Mey is one of Cincinnati's top prospects, and he's allowed just one run with an 11:3 K:BB across 7.1 innings since being promoted May 1. The 23-year-old righty has recorded one hold but has mostly pitched in lower-leverage spots, though he'll likely work his way into the high-leverage mix if he can continue the strong performance. Journeyman Emilio Pagan has taken over the closer role with Alexis Diaz demoted to Triple-A amid his struggles, and Mey could have an outside shot at seeing some saves this season.
