NEW YORK —
New York selected the contract of outfielder Nick Morabito from Double-A Binghamton, protecting the 22-year-old from next month’s Rule 5 draft.
Montas signed with the Mets as a free agent in December and was 3-2 with a 6.28 ERA in seven starts and two relief outings, making his last appearance Aug. 15. He is 47-48 with a 4.20 ERA in 10 big league seasons with the Chicago White Sox (2015), Oakland (2017-22), the New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati (2024), Milwaukee (2024) and the Mets.
Morabito hit .273 with 6 homers, 59 RBIs and 49 stolen bases in 60 attempts this year for the Rumble Ponies and has 108 steals in the past two seasons.
