Jose Butto makes return as key Mets bullpen pieces start to fall into place

Try it free José Buttó's final line wasn't great for the Mets on Wednesday, but the return of a proven arm was a welcome development for the club. Slowly, the Mets bullpen is regaining pieces — even as team brass searches for an upgrade or two heading to the trade deadline. Buttó allowed two earned runs on three hits over two-thirds of an inning in the 6-3 victory over the Angels at Citi Field, but he was picked up by Brooks Raley — who got the final out in the seventh and two more in the eighth. 'With Buttó, I liked the velocity, and he threw strikes,' Carlos Mendoza said. 'In general, I didn't see big misses or the velo wasn't there, it just didn't go his way today.' Buttó had been sidelined with an illness since July 1. He joined the lefty Raley, whose rehab from Tommy John surgery ended last week, as another high-leverage option for the bullpen in recent days. '[Buttó] has been a big part of our bullpen, and we felt it when he went down,' Mendoza said before the game. 'This is a guy who helps you bridge the gap and get the ball to the back end of the bullpen.' José Buttó throws a pitch during the seventh inning of the Mets' 6-3 win over the Angels on July 23, 2025. Robert Sabo / New York Post Buttó owns a 2.84 ERA in 32 appearances this season. That Raley, in his third appearance off the IL, could return for two outs in the eighth after escaping trouble in the seventh was 'huge,' according to Mendoza. Raley had retired Mike Trout, the potential tying run, in the seventh. 'We are asking a lot out of him right out of the gate,' Mendoza said. 'Ideally, I didn't want to push him to [29] pitches, but that is where we were today.' Brooks Raley throws a pitch during the eighth inning of the Mets' win over the Angels. Jason Szenes / New York Post Earlier this week, president of baseball operations David Stearns identified the bullpen as a primary focus heading into the July 31 trade deadline. Justin Garza was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to clear space for Buttó. Paul Blackburn, who is rehabbing from a shoulder impingement, felt good in his minor league outing on Wednesday and will start another game for Syracuse before he's considered for a return, according to Mendoza.

Jesse Winker has not yet progressed to baseball activities as he rehabs a lower back strain, according to Mendoza. Starling Marte, in his first appearance since returning from the IL a day earlier, finished 2-for-4 with a double. Marte is 24-for-67 (.358) with an .875 OPS over his past 18 games.

Mets' Kodai Senga to Make Rehab Start Saturday; José Buttó Goes on 15-Day IL
New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga, sidelined since June 12 by a strained right hamstring, is to start a rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Binghamton. He is to throw 60 to 65 pitches, according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, and soon could return to New York's injury-ravaged rotation. "We'll see how it goes tomorrow and then see how he responds, and we'll have a decision after that," Mendoza said. Elsewhere, Mets reliever José Buttó was put on the 15-day injured list Friday with an unspecified illness, the team's 13th pitcher on the IL. "We're not going to get into the details of it out of respect of Buttó, but we don't anticipate this being long term," Mendoza said. "We expect him to be back right after the All-Star break." Mendoza said he didn't anticipate that Buttó will need to go on a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment. A 27-year-old right-hander, Buttó is 2-1 with a 2.47 ERA in 31 relief appearances, the last a two-inning outing at Pittsburgh last Saturday. New York recalled right-hander Chris Devenski from Triple-A Syracuse. Brought up for the fourth time this season, the 34-year-old right-hander has made four appearances for the Mets. New York didn't have an update on reliever Dedniel Núñez, who was put on the IL on Thursday because of a sprained right elbow sprain and could require Tommy John surgery for the second time. "He's going to visit a doctor next week because of a holiday weekend," Mendoza said. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
