Mets promote Dylan Ross and Nick Morabito to major league roster

The New York Mets promoted relief pitcher Dylan Ross and outfielder Nick Morabito to the major league roster on September 2. Ross, a right-hander previously touted as a potential closer, recorded a 1.69 ERA across 32 appearances at Triple-A Syracuse this season. His promotion follows an injury-plagued campaign that began on the minor league injured list due to arm fatigue. While the team possesses high expectations for his velocity and repertoire, Ross must address recurring issues with command, specifically a 17.6 percent walk rate at the Triple-A level. The organization currently manages a depleted bullpen as closer Devin Williams works through a throwing program following his stint on the injured list. Managerial staff may utilize Ross in low-leverage situations initially to evaluate his performance in the majors.
