"The New York Mets are calling up their No. 5 overall prospect to make his MLB debut on Sunday in Cincinnati against the Reds, as first reported by MLB Pipeline's Sam Dykstra. Sproat will join Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong, who have already revitalized the Mets' starting rotation in their five combined starts in the majors, as the fourth prominent prospect to get the call to the majors in the last month."
"The 24-year-old right-hander began the year as the Mets' top prospect entering the 2025 season, but fell after struggling in Triple-A, posting a 6.02 ERA through May 31. In 15 starts since then, he has a 3.13 ERA, topped off by seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts on Saturday. Sproat will take Kodai Senga's place in the rotation, though the future of the struggling ace is unknown at this time."
"New York's prospects are on the cusp of salvaging a rotation that had run out of gas by mid-summer. Frankie Montas is done for the year after suffering an elbow injury that could need Tommy John surgery, and that was after he was demoted from the rotation to the bullpen. Griffin Canning is also done for the season, Tylor Megill is on the mend, and Paul Blackburn was DFA'd."
Brandon Sproat was summoned to the New York Mets to make his MLB debut in Cincinnati, joining fellow recent prospect call-ups Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong. The 24-year-old began 2025 as the Mets' top prospect but struggled in Triple-A with a 6.02 ERA through May 31 before posting a 3.13 ERA across 15 starts, including a seven-inning scoreless outing with nine strikeouts. Sproat will take Kodai Senga's rotation spot while Senga's future is uncertain and any demotion would require his acceptance. Multiple veteran starters face injuries or poor performance, increasing reliance on the prospect pipeline for rotation depth.
