Pham, 38, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in March. He was added to the roster in mid-April. He got into nine games and was sent to the plate 14 times. He struck out seven times, walked once and did not get a hit.

Allan Castro made waves in the series finale against Columbus, hitting two home runs, including a grand slam, which lifted the WooSox to a win with six RBIs.

Valdez hit .209/.294/.363 across 31 games before sustaining a season-ending dislocation of his left shoulder, which required surgery. He is healthy but no longer had much of a path to playing time on the Pittsburgh infield.

I wouldn't say definitely, Mendoza said on Thursday prior to his squad's series finale against the San Diego Padres. I think we'll have that conversation, and we'll take the best 13 guys that we feel are going to give us the best chance to win baseball games in October. But in the meantime, we got 10 more [games], and we will continue to treat it that way.

He went five innings, improving his ERA to 13 (lol) and striking out seven while allowing two runs to cross the plate. The problem, though, is that Worcester did not have two runs cross the plate all night. Their only extra-base hit was courtesy of Max Ferguson, and the WooSox also only drew one walk on the night. Their win expectancy was kept minimal for the vast majority of the night despite the thin lead Syracuse held.

Brandon Sproat, a top Mets pitching prospect, pitched six innings allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

Brooks, 30, signed a minor league deal with the Friars in the offseason and was selected to the big league roster in the middle of June, holding a spot for about six weeks but without much playing time.

Matt Mervis, after a promising start to the season with six home runs in 13 games, struggled significantly, posting high strikeout rates and low hitting averages subsequently.
