Mets call up Justin Hagenman and Nick Morabito for roster expansion

Major League Baseball rosters expand to 28 players on September 1, prompting the New York Mets to recall right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman and outfielder Nick Morabito. Hagenman is scheduled to start Wednesday against Tampa Bay, a move intended to provide an additional day of rest for the team's young rotation of Christian Scott, Nolan McLean, and Zac Thornton. Hagenman, who missed time this year with a fractured rib, has appeared in three rehab games across various minor league levels. He previously struggled during a nine-game stint with the Mets in 2025, posting a 4.48 ERA. Nick Morabito also joins the big league club after appearing in five games earlier this season. He spent time at Triple-A Syracuse, where he recorded a.254 batting average with 13 home runs and 42 stolen bases. There is no official commitment for Hagenman to receive additional starts beyond his Wednesday appearance.
