• Mets' Kyle Crick: Lands on Triple-A IL

  03/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Triple-A Syracuse placed Crick (calf) on its 60-day injured list Monday. Crick was scheduled to attend big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, but he didn't make any Grapefruit League appearances after suffering a calf strain prior to the start of spring training. His placement on the 60-day IL suggests that the Mets aren't counting on Crick contributing for the Triple-A club until late May or early June.

  Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday that Crick could miss all of spring training with a calf strain, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

  Crick signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Although Crick hasn't pitched in a game since 2022, the Mets will invite him to major-league camp for an opportunity to make their Opening Day bullpen. Crick posted a 4.02 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 15.2 innings with the White Sox two years ago, but an elbow injury ended his season early, and he remained a free agent for the entire 2023 campaign.

• Kyle Crick: Exercises opt-out clause

  03/25/2023 • By RotoWire

  Crick exercised his opt-out clause in his contract with the Rays, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Crick signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Rays in February. That contract included the ability to test free agency if he wasn't added to the 40-man roster by this point, and he's now free to join another club. Crick has had success with other clubs when healthy, but he is likely looking at a similar deal with another team whenever he signs.

  Crick (elbow) signed a minor-league contract Saturday with the Rays that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Crick held a free-agent showcase for interested teams in late January and apparently grabbed the attention of the Rays' evaluators. He missed most of the 2022 season because of an elbow injury but should be back to full strength leading into camp. The 30-year-old reliever has posted a career 3.56 ERA with 201 strikeouts in 187.1 total major-league innings.
