Mets' Brandon Waddell: Returns to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Waddell to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Waddell impressed in a bulk-relief role in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings. However, he was not going to be available for a few days, so the Mets will replace him on the 26-man active roster with a fresh bullpen arm in right-hander Ty Adcock, who was called up from Syracuse.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Shines in bulk relief
Waddell allowed three hits and struck out four batters over 4.1 scoreless relief innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Wednesday.
Waddell was called up from Triple-A ahead of Wednesday's contest and was immediately put to use in a bullpen game for New York. The southpaw entered in the third inning and ended up taking on a near-starter's workload, tossing 60 pitches (40 of which were strikes) over 4.1 scoreless frames. This was Waddell's first MLB appearance since he tallied nine relief outings over stints with three different teams in 2021, as he spent the three subsequent years overseas.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Added to roster
The Mets selected Waddell's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.
Waddell will serve as a bulk reliever in Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks in what will be his first major-league appearance since 2021. The left-hander has posted a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through five starts and 23.1 innings this season with Syracuse.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Working as primary pitcher
Waddell will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Huascar Brazoban will draw his second start of the season Wednesday, but he'll serve as an opener and isn't expected to cover more than an inning or two before giving way to Waddell, who is set to make his first big-league appearance since 2021. The 30-year-old lefty has been impressive while pitching out of the rotation at Syracuse this season, logging a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB in 23.1 innings.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Getting call-up Wednesday
The Mets plan to call up Waddell from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as a starter or bulk reliever in Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks at Citi Field, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets will likely make a determination after Tuesday's game whether to deploy Waddell as a starter or behind an opener in his team debut. Waddell has posted a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through five starts and 23.1 innings this season with Triple-A Syracuse. He'll be making his first major-league appearance since 2021 on Wednesday.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Could join rotation this week
Waddell could get called up for a spot start or bulk-relief outing during the Mets' series against the Diamondbacks this week, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The 30-year-old southpaw has had a strong start to the season for Triple-A Syracuse, posting a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through five starts and 23.1 innings, and Waddell's schedule lines up with the Arizona series -- he last pitched Friday, so he could slot into the rotation Wednesday. Waddell would need to be added to the 40-man roster before getting a promotion, however. He last pitched in the majors in 2021, spending the last three seasons in Korea and China.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Sent out of big-league camp
The Mets reassigned Waddell to minor-league camp Sunday.
Waddell joined the Mets on a minor-league deal in December following a three-year stint overseas that featured stints stops with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization and Rakuten Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. Though New York's rotation depth has already taken a couple of notable hits this spring due to injuries to Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat), Waddell didn't impress enough over his two Grapefruit League outings (5.40 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 1:2 K:BB in 3.1 innings) to make a compelling case for an Opening Day gig. Waddell will slot into the rotation at Triple-A Syracuse.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Could be next man up in rotation
Waddell might be an option for the Mets' rotation this season, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
New York has already seen Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat) go down this spring, with both pitchers expected to begin the season on the injured list. If the spate of injuries continues, Waddell could find himself in the mix for some March or April starts. The 30-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021, spending the last three years in the KBO, and after signing him to a minor-league contract in December, the Mets would need to find room for him on the 40-man roster in order to add him to the big-league rotation.

Mets' Brandon Waddell: Inks MiLB deal with NYM
Waddell agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mets on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Waddell hasn't seen any MLB action since 2021 during stops in Minnesota, St. Louis and Baltimore, and he's spent the last three seasons overseas with the Doosan Bears of the Korean Baseball Organization. The southpaw has revitalized his career in the KBO, posting a 2.98 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 215:65 K:BB through 144.1 innings over this three-year stretch. Waddell will be a strong candidate to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Syracuse.

Brandon Waddell: Re-signs with KBO team
Waddell re-signed Thursday with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization, Jee-ho Yoo of Yonhap News reports.
It's a one-year, $1 million contract. Waddell headed overseas in July of 2022 and has since registered an impressive 2.92 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 140:54 K:BB across 169.2 innings (29 starts) in the KBO. The now 29-year-old left-hander posted a 5.68 ERA in 11 career major-league relief appearances between 2020-21.

Brandon Waddell: Heads overseas
The Cardinals sold Waddell's contract to the Korea Baseball Organization's Doosan Bears on Wednesday.
According to Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency, Waddell will earn $230,000 for the remainder of the 2022 KBO season while pitching for Doosan. Waddell made nine relief appearances in the majors between three different teams in 2021, but he's pitched exclusively at Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization in 2022. Over 30 innings at Triple-A, he posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.33 WHIP.

Cardinals' Brandon Waddell: Outrighted off roster
The Cardinals outrighted Waddell to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
St. Louis never formally announced that Waddell was designated for assignment, but he evidently went unclaimed on waivers and will remain in the organization. Waddell will lose his place on the 40-man roster, however, with his spot going to fellow reliever Andre Pallante, who earned a spot in the Cardinals' Opening Day bullpen.

Cardinals' Brandon Waddell: Optioned to Triple-A
Waddell was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Cardinals' Brandon Waddell: Recalled by Cardinals
Waddell was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Waddell returned from the COVID-19 injured list in Memphis last weekend, and he tossed three scoreless innings across three relief appearances since then. The southpaw recorded a 4.15 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 4.1 innings across four appearances with the Cardinals this year and should be available as a low-leverage reliever.

Cardinals' Brandon Waddell: Returns from virus-related absence
Waddell made his return from Triple-A Memphis' COVID-19 injured list Friday and appeared out of the bullpen Saturday, striking out two and allowing a hit in a scoreless inning.
Waddell's relief appearance was his first with either Triple-A or St. Louis since July 9, as the 27-year-old had been shut down on two occasions due to virus-related health and safety protocols. He looks like he's healthy again as the season winds down, but Waddell's extended absence may be enough to take him out of the running for a promotion to the big club in September.

Cardinals' Brandon Waddell: Lands on COVID-19 list
Waddell (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 list Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Waddell tested positive for the virus in mid-July and spent a month on the COVID IL before being activated last weekend, and he'll return to the specialized IL without appearing in a game. The southpaw hadn't felt well enough to pitch since he returned last weekend, and he'll now be unavailable until he clears the health and safety protocols once again, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Cardinals' Brandon Waddell: Placed on COVID-19 IL
Waddell was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday.
Waddell had been optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, but his placement in the COVID-19 protocols means he'll revert to the MLB team's injured list. It's not clear if the left-hander has tested positive for the virus or if he was just exposed to someone who did. Fellow southpaw T.J. McFarland was called up from Memphis in a corresponding roster move.
