Mets notebook: The early season quest to fill the long relief role

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:35 GMT

MILWAUKEE — Sunday afternoon in Miami, with Kodai Senga on the ropes in the first inning against the Marlins, the Mets phoned the bullpen and told right-hander Stephen Nogosek to get up and to get on the rubber with a ball, but to hold off on warming up.This is something Showalter does often with his relievers. It serves two purposes: It prevents the pitcher from throwing superfluous pitches and putting unnecessary strain on the arm, as well as it serves to get relievers mentally engaged.“It lets me know it’s time to rock and roll,” Nogosek said.Nogosek later came into the game and pitched two innings. Senga ran up his pitch count in the first inning and wasn’t able to go as deep into the game as he or the Mets would have liked, but Nogosek absorbed a few. With four games left before an off day, Nogosek’s outing proved big for the Mets. Tommy Hunter’s two innings in Friday night’s game were helpful as well.“Nogosek had one of the...

He said he was “not 100 percent” but said he wants “to give the team what I’ve got.”“I’m one of the people that tries to fight through it,” said Adebayo, who is listed as questionable. “The fact that I could barely walk was obviously a problem. The biggest thing was just getting healthy, getting my body right.”Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said his star center ha...

The Miami Dolphins signed veteran tight end Durham Smythe to a contract extension, the team announced Monday.Smythe, the 2018 fourth-round pick out of Notre Dame, is expected to be the starter in coach Mike McDaniel’s offense, which requires more of an in-line blocking tight end than a receiving tight end.Smthye, for his five-year career, has 115 receptions for 809 yards and three touchdowns. He had a direct-snap 1-yard run touchdown against the New York Jets last season.Smythe’s extension comes in an offseason in which the Dolphins saw tight end Mike Gesicki, a receiving specialist, sign with the New England Patriots in free agency. The Dolphins also sent tight end Hunter Long to the Los Angeles Rams as part of the trade to acquire star cornerback Jalen Ramsey.Smythe is joined in the tight end room by returnees Tanner Conner and Adam Shaheen and free agent signee Eric Saubert.The Dolphins might be in the market to add another tight end in the NFL draft or via free agenc...
