The Mets have selected the contract of right-hander Jose Urena to replace southpaw A.J. Minter, who has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left lat strain. Urena, a 33-year-old pitcher with ten years in the majors, has struggled historically but showed improvement in 2023 with a 3.80 ERA while working mostly as a reliever for the Rangers. Minter’s injury’s severity is pending imaging results, leaving Danny Young as the sole left-handed option in the Mets’ bullpen for now.
