US EditionThe Source |SOURCE SPORTS: Mets' Newest Pitching Signee Is Active Tonight And His Name Is Dicky Lovelady
- The New York Mets called up left-handed reliever Richard "Dicky" Lovelady and activated him for their June 23, 2025, series opener against the Atlanta Braves in Queens.
- Lovelady opted out of his minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins' Triple-A St. Paul Saints after a strong 1.31 ERA in 19 appearances to seek major league opportunities.
- The Mets faced bullpen challenges after losing lefties A.J. Minter and Danny Young to season-ending injuries in April and previously carried only one lefty, José Castillo.
- Lovelady strikes out batters with a sinker, slider, and sweeper from a low slot, and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said, "he just adds another weapon there" for facing left-handed hitters.
- Lovelady's addition aims to strengthen the Mets' bullpen amid a rough stretch, as the team had lost eight of nine games and needed fresh relief options.
