Peterson was signed by the Angels on Wednesday and was subsequently assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake, Taylor Blake Ward of Locked on Angels reports.
The right-hander agreed to a minor-league deal but could feasibly help the big club at some point this season given the Angels' bullpen struggles thus far. Peterson last pitched for the Mets in 2019, allowing four earned runs and compiling a 3:7 K:BB across 7.1 innings. He has given up nine home runs over 35 career big-league frames.

Mets' Tim Peterson: Called up by Mets
Rotowire
Peterson was called up by the Mets on Sunday.
With a career 5.97 ERA in 31.2 big-league innings, Peterson shouldn't be anything more than a low-leverage arm. The Mets need some more of those after playing 18 innings Saturday, so Peterson and Tyler Bashlor are up to replace Ryan O'Rourke and Chris Flexen.

Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Peterson pitched four times for the Mets prior to being sent down, allowing two runs with an ugly 2:6 K:BB. The team will shuffle low-leverage relievers, recalling Corey Oswalt to take Peterson's place.

Mets' Tim Peterson: Shaky start to season
Rotowire
Peterson gave up two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.
While he didn't have any runs charged to his own ledger, Peterson did allow an inherited runner to score. The 28-year-old has a 0.00 ERA through 2.2 innings to begin the season, but his 0:1 K:BB is far from encouraging. He has a tenuous hold on a low-leverage role in the Mets' bullpen, and Peterson will likely be the first reliever optioned out if the club needs to bring in reinforcements.

Mets' Tim Peterson: Expected to make roster
Rotowire
Peterson is expected to open the season in the Mets' bullpen, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
Peterson didn't dominate this spring, but his 4.35 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB through 10.1 innings was enough to earn him the final spot in New York's bullpen. The 28-year-old will likely fill a middle-relief role for the big club.

Mets' Tim Peterson: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com
The move was made to clear a roster spot for Steven Matz, who was activated off the disabled list to start Game 2 of Thursday's twin bill. Peterson coughed up four runs in two innings in his lone appearance after being recalled earlier in the week. He figures to be an option in the Mets' bullpen once rosters expand.

Mets' Tim Peterson: To join big club Monday
Rotowire
Peterson will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Monday's game against the Yankees, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Peterson is set to replace Jacob Rhame, who was banished to the minors following Sunday's victory over Miami. Through 18 appearances in the major leagues this season, Peterson owns a 6.53 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 20 strikeouts, so it appears unlikely that he'll see many high-leverage situations during his latest stint with the Mets.

Peterson was sent back to the minors to free up a roster spot for Chris Beck, who was claimed off waivers Wednesday. The 27-year-old has fared well in the majors this season, allowing just one run through 4.1 innings while recording four strikeouts. Peterson should be back with the big club the next time additional bullpen help is needed.
