May 28 2025Garrett walked one and struck out three over 1.2 scoreless innings to record his second save of the season in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Edwin Diaz worked the night before and had pitched in three of the Mets' prior four games, so Garrett got the call again in a save situation and got the job done. Should Diaz be out of the picture for any length of time, Garrett seems set as the next man up in the ninth inning for the Mets, and through 23.2 innings this season he's delivered a dazzling 0.76 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB while collecting a win and 11 holds.
May 25 2025Garrett collected the save in Sunday's 3-1 win against the Dodgers, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After regular Mets closer Edwin Diaz pitched in back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, Garrett was called upon to convert his fifth career save. The 32-year-old showed no unsteadiness in working around a single to wrap the win easily on 15 pitches. Garrett was only filling in for Diaz, but given that he has been dependable with a 0.82 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 22 innings, he could enter the picture for saves in Queens if anything happens to Diaz.
May 22 2025Garrett gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday to record his 11th hold of the season in a win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander is one off the NL lead in holds, trailing the Padres' Jason Adam, the Reds' Tony Santillan and the Brewers' Abner Uribe. Garrett hasn't been quite as dominant this season as he was in his breakout 2024, but he still sports a 0.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB through 19 innings as a key member of the Mets' setup crew ahead of closer Edwin Diaz.
Mar 21 2025Garrett seems locked into a spot on the Opening Day roster, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 32-year-old right-hander is coming off a breakout campaign in 2024, and Garrett has picked up where he left off this spring with a 0.00 ERA and 9:1 K:BB through six Grapefruit League innings. He racked up 14 holds in 53 appearances last season and stands a good chance of topping that number in 2025 as part of the setup crew for Edwin Diaz.
Aug 16 2024Garrett (7-4) took the loss Thursday against the A's, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk in one inning. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett entered the game in the sixth inning with the Mets ahead 6-5. He promptly allowed a single and a double to lead off the frame, allowing Oakland to tie the game on a fielder's choice, before Seth Brown put the A's ahead 7-6 with a one-out single. It was a tough outing for the 31-year-old Garrett in just his second appearance following a month-long IL stint. The right-hander now sports a 3.89 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 67:23 K:BB through 44 innings this season while logging four saves and eight holds.
Aug 10 2024The Mets activated Garrett (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has been out of major-league action since July 10 due to inflammation in his right elbow. In his last rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, he allowed one hit and one walk while striking out three in one inning. Before landing on the IL, Garrett recorded eight holds and four saves across 36 major-league outings with a 3.64 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 42 innings. To make room on the 26-man roster for Garrett, the Mets optioned Alex Young to Syracuse.
Aug 8 2024Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Garrett (elbow) will rejoin the Mets in Seattle on Friday and should be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point during the weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though the Mets may not activate Garrett on Friday, he's on the cusp of returning to the New York bullpen. The 31-year-old righty has been on the shelf since July 10 due to elbow inflammation after giving up three earned runs in two-thirds of an inning during his last appearance.
Aug 7 2024Garrett (elbow) allowed one hit and one walk but struck out three over a scoreless inning in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has been shelved for the past four weeks with right elbow inflammation but shouldn't need many, if any, more rehab outings before being activated from the 15-day injured list. The righty reliever has contributed a 3.64 ERA and 63:22 K:BB across 42 frames out of the Mets' bullpen in 2024.
Jul 31 2024Garrett (elbow) has been cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday after touching 97 mph in a live batting practice session Wednesday, Joe Pantorno of amNewYork Metro reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has been sidelined since mid-July with right elbow inflammation but looks to be healthy again. Given the short absence, Garrett might require just the one rehab appearance before rejoining the Mets' bullpen.
Jul 23 2024Garrett (elbow) hopes to be ready to throw a bullpen session by this weekend, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett began throwing on flat ground over a weekend, so it would seem to be a good sign that he could progress to mound work soon. The reliever has been out of commission for the last two weeks with right elbow inflammation. He might require a rehab appearance or two before being activated.
Jul 20 2024Garrett (elbow) began a throwing progression Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett landed on the 15-day IL on July 10 due to right elbow inflammation, and Saturday marks the first time he has done any sort of throwing since then. The 31-year-old said he's hoping for a quick ramp-up process, though it remains unclear if he'll be able to pitch again before the end of July.
Jul 11 2024MRI results on Garrett's right elbow revealed no ligament damage Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett will remain shut down from throwing for roughly one week while his inflammation subsides before beginning a throwing program shortly after the All-Star break. His return will depend on how he feels as he moves through his rehab process, but manager Carlos Mendoza said he expects the 31-year-old righty to be sidelined roughly 2-to-4 weeks.
Jul 10 2024The Mets placed Garrett on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett allowed three runs and retired just two batters in an appearance Tuesday versus the Nationals, which was his third outing in four days. He complained of forearm tightness after the appearance and will be sent for an MRI. Garrett will be eligible to return from the IL on July 25.
Jul 1 2024Garrett earned the save in Monday's 9-7 win over the Nationals. He faced two batters, allowing one hit and striking out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Edwin Diaz still out due to suspension, Garrett entered with a three-run lead and two outs in the tenth inning. The previous reliever, Tyler Jay, left runners on first and second to clean up. After allowing a run-scoring single to Keibert Ruiz, Garrett punched out Luis Garcia to bring New York back to .500. Diaz is eligible to return from suspension July 6, but until that time, Garrett looks to be the favorite for saves in the Mets' bullpen.
Jun 24 2024Garrett gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Sunday to record his seventh hold of the season in a win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Edwin Diaz came on the ninth but got ejected for a foreign substance, and Jake Diekman wound up getting a one-out save as Mets manager Carlos Mendoza scrambled to fill in for his closer. Diaz is facing a 10-game suspension, and based on Mendoza's bullpen usage while the right-hander was out injured, Garrett should be viewed as the favorite to handle any save chances during that time. Diekman, Adam Ottavino, Drew Smith and even potentially Dedniel Nunez could all be factors in the ninth as well, however.
Jun 19 2024Garrett (7-2) picked up the win Tuesday over the Rangers, striking out one in a perfect eighth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander carved up the heart of the Texas order on 12 pitches (seven strikes), and Garrett was rewarded when New York completed a comeback in the top of the ninth. The journeyman reliever came into 2024 with a career 7.11 ERA in only 44.1 big-league innings, but he's been a revelation as a high-leverage option for the Mets, producing a 3.03 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB through 35.2 frames while adding three saves and six holds to his win total over 28 appearances.
Jun 10 2024Garrett (6-2) picked up the win Sunday over the Phillies, getting charged with one run on one hit and one walk over 1.2 innings of relief. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander entered the game with two outs in the seventh inning with the Mets down 4-3, making him the pitcher of record when New York erupted for three runs in the top of the ninth. Garrett did put two runners aboard before being lifted in the bottom of the frame and watched one of them come around to score, however. He's been tagged for runs in six of his last eight appearances, stumbling to a ghastly 11.74 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB through 7.2 innings over that stretch, but Garrett will likely remain part of the team's high-leverage crew even after Edwin Diaz (shoulder) rejoins the bullpen.
Jun 3 2024Garrett struck out the side in a perfect seventh inning Sunday to record his sixth hold of the season in a loss to the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Mets holding a 4-3 lead, the right-hander was called in to the face the heart of Arizona's order and fanned Lourdes Gurriel, Christian Walker and Jake McCarthy on 11 pitches (nine strikes). Garrett has had some stumbles of late, getting tagged for earned runs in four of his last nine appearances with a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over that stretch, but he's still part of the high-leverage mix and a candidate for saves in the absence of Edwin Diaz (shoulder).
May 30 2024Garrett earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, walking one batter in a perfect inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett walked the first batter he faced but managed to retire the next three Arizona hitters to nail down his third save. With Edwin Diaz (shoulder) on the injured list, Garrett appears to be the Mets' top option for ninth-inning work. The right-hander has notched New York's past two saves, though they came 11 days apart.
May 25 2024Garrett (5-2) took the loss Friday against the Giants, coughing up five runs on four hits and a walk in the eighth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The big blow was a grand slam by Patrick Bailey as Garrett squandered a 6-2 lead. The 31-year-old right-hander has been tagged with the loss in each of his last two appearances, and he's given up seven of his eight earned runs on the season in his last six innings, a poor stretch that has come as he's moved into the late-inning mix due to Edwin Diaz's own poor form. Garrett's stumbles have added more than two points to his ERA, but he still sports a 2.67 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 43:13 K:BB through 27 frames.
May 23 2024Garrett (5-1) took the loss Wednesday against Cleveland, allowing a run on two hits and a walk in one inning. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After entering with the game tied 3-3 in the seventh inning, Garrett allowed a leadoff single to David Fry, who advanced to second on a wild pitch before eventually scoring on a Johnathan Rodriguez base hit. It's the first loss of the year for the 31-year-old Garrett -- he's allowed just two earned runs in his last 13.1 innings. Despite Wednesday's setback, Garrett's emerged as a top option in the Mets' bullpen and could see the occasional save chance with Edwin Diaz temporarily shifting to a lower-leverage role. Overall, Garrett sports a 1.04 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP while posting a stellar 14.9 K/9 across 26 innings.
May 19 2024Garrett earned the save Sunday against Miami, allowing one hit and no walks with four strikeouts over two scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett took the ball in the eighth with the Mets leading 4-3 and, after striking out the side and getting four runs of support, stayed out to complete the ninth. It's unclear if Garrett would still have gotten the save chance if New York didn't extend its lead, but he's still a candidate for saves moving forward with Edwin Diaz moving out of the closer role temporarily to get back on track.
Apr 25 2024Garrett (4-0) got the win over the Giants on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk over two innings while striking out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett replaced Sean Manaea with two outs in the bottom of the fifth and retired Jorge Soler on the first pitch to end the inning. The reliever then needed only 12 pitches to get through the next frame before surrendering a solo homer to open the seventh. It marked the first earned run allowed on the season for Garrett, who is now tied for the major-league lead in wins. The right-hander has been outstanding out of the bullpen for New York thus far, posting a 0.71 ERA to go along with a 25:4 K:BB.
Apr 20 2024Garrett struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his first career save in a 6-4 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Edwin Diaz needed 20 pitches to get the final two outs of the eighth inning, and rather than extend his closer, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza elected to see whether Garrett could handle a high-leverage spot. The 31-year-old right-hander was more than up to the task, firing nine of 13 pitches for strikes as he carved up the bottom of the Dodgers' order. Top setup men Brooks Raley and Adam Ottavino had both pitched the day before and were presumably being rested, but Garrett earned his opportunity. Through his first 10.2 innings this season, he's delivered a 0.75 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and dazzling 21:3 K:BB. Diaz is still the undisputed closer for the Mets, but Garrett figures to see more late-inning work after this successful audition.
Apr 5 2024Garrett (1-0) picked up the win in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers, giving up two hits and a walk over three scoreless innings of relief. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Jose Butto tossed six innings of one-run ball, Garrett saved a Mets bullpen that had been taxed in the matinee by working the rest of the game, and he got rewarded for his efforts when New York finally pushed two runs across in the ninth. It's only the second big-league win of Garrett's career in 32 appearances, and his 6.65 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 47.1 innings don't make a strong case for anything more than a low-leverage role. Despite Thursday's performance, the 31-year-old seems likely to get booted off the 26-man roster when the Mets next have a need for a fresh arm.
Apr 1 2024Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's taking the roster spot vacated by Tylor Megill (shoulder). Garrett had a 6.41 ERA during his time in the majors last season and would seem to be a good bet to be sent back down when the Mets need a starting pitcher to slide into Megill's slot.
Mar 15 2024The Mets optioned Garrett to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett had a solid spring, allowing two runs with a 7:2 K:BB over five innings. The right-handed reliever will head to Syracuse for now and wait for a call to rejoin the big-league bullpen.
Sep 12 2023The Mets recalled Garrett from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has allowed 13 earned runs in 12.1 major-league innings this season, but the Mets need a fresh bullpen arm after losing Sean Reid-Foley (lat) to the 15-day injured list.
Aug 23 2023Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was called up by the Mets on Sunday and delivered 2.2 scoreless frames in two appearances. The 30-year-old has struggled in the majors overall this season with a 9.49 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over 12.1 innings between the Orioles and Mets.
Aug 20 2023The Mets recalled Garrett from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: New York sent right-hander Vinny Nittoli to Triple-A in a corresponding move to clear room for another right-hander in the bullpen in Garrett. Over 9.2 innings in the big leagues between the Orioles and Mets in 2023, Garrett has given up 13 earned runs on 15 hits and six walks.
Aug 14 2023The Mets optioned Garrett to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was up as the 27th man during Saturday's doubleheader versus Atlanta and was rocked for six runs over 2.1 innings in the first game. The 30-year-old holds an 8.91 ERA and 23:27 K:BB over 34.1 career relief innings in the big leagues.
Aug 12 2023Garrett will serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett will give the Mets added bullpen depth in both games. In 32 career major-league innings, the 30-year-old owns a 7.88 ERA and 2.28 WHIP, walking more batters (25) than he's struck out (20).
Aug 5 2023The Mets optioned Garrett to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After tossing 1.1 scoreless innings Wednesday in his return to the majors, Garrett was rocked for four runs over just two-thirds of an inning Friday. He will make way for a fresh arm on the roster and return to Syracuse, where he has a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across six appearances since joining the organization on a waiver claim.
Jul 28 2023The Mets recalled Garrett from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett will fill the spot in New York's bullpen that opened up after David Robertson was traded to Miami on Thursday. Garrett holds a 2.45 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 29.1 frames in the minors this season, but he's struggled heavily throughout his career in the big leagues. Until he can produce consistent results in the majors, Garrett will remain a depth piece in the Mets' bullpen.
Jun 17 2023Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett's contract was selected Wednesday. He made two relief appearances during his brief time in the big leagues, giving up three runs on seven hits in 2.2 innings of work. Spenser Watkins was called up to take his place in the bullpen.
Jun 14 2023Baltimore selected Garrett's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has pitched exceptionally well for Triple-A Norfolk in 2023 with a 1.59 ERA and 27 strikeouts over 22.2 innings in 19 appearances. The right-hander will be a mid-to-late innings option for Baltimore, and he takes the place of Austin Voth after Voth was placed on the 15-day injured list with discomfort in his right elbow.
Jan 6 2023Garrett cleared waivers and refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, making him a free agent, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Nationals in December to clear space on the 40-man roster for Jeter Downs. Garrett played in just seven MLB games last year and spent most of the campaign with Rochester, where he had a 3.04 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 53:18 K:BB in 47.1 innings.
May 16 2019Garrett was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com<\/a> reports.Subscribe now<\/a> to instantly reveal our take on this news.
