Mandatory Credit: Jim Rassol-Imagn Images The New York Mets are recalling prized right-hander Brandon Sproat to start Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, according to multiple reports on Thursday.
Sproat is the No. 5 prospect in the New York organization, according to MLB Pipeline.
Sproat, who turns 25 on Sept. 17, is 8-6 with a 4.24 ERA in 26 appearances (25 starts) for Triple-A Syracuse.
Sproat was a second-round pick (No. 56 overall) in the 2023 draft.
The recall of Sproat comes after New York recently promoted top right-handed pitching prospects Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong.
McLean is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in four starts since being promoted, while Tong beat the Miami Marlins last Friday in his big league debut. He gave up four runs (one earned) and six hits over five innings.
The Mets hold the third-playoff spot in the National League entering Friday's opener of a three-game set with the Reds.
