Free agent right-hander Dylan Covey signed a one-year contract with the New York Mets on Thursday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the Mets for Covey, who posted an 0-2 record with a 2.66 ERA in 18 relief appearances with three different minor league teams this past season. He was working his way back from a right shoulder strain in the Philadelphia Phillies' organization.

Covey, 33, opted for free agency on Oct. 10.

He last pitched in the majors with the Phillies in 2023, going 1-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 28 games (one start).

Covey is 7-32 with a 6.18 ERA in 100 career games (46 starts) with the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and Phillies.
