Mets' Tommy Hunter: Designated for assignment
Tommy Hunter was designated for assignment by the New York Mets on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.The veteran righty is in his 16th major-league season but doesn't appear to have a lot left in the tank. In 23.2 innings this season, he struggled to a 6.85 ERA, striking out just 18.9 percent of opposing batters. His $1.75 million salary isn't particularly large, but it's enough above the league minimum that it might discourage potential suitors on the waiver wire. John Curtiss was called up to take his place on the roster.

Mets' Tommy Hunter: Serves up walk-off homer
Tommy Hunter (0-1) took the loss Thursday as the New York Mets fell 13-10 to Atlanta, giving up three runs (two earned) on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning.With two runners on in the bottom of the 10th inning, the right-hander left a 1-0 cutter in the heart of the zone and Ozzie Albies crushed it deep to right field to walk it off. Hunter has served up four homers in 21.2 innings this season, a nearly identical rate to last year, but he hasn't been anywhere near as lucky and now carries a 6.65 ERA -- a jump of more than four runs from 2022. The veteran reliever was the sixth Met to come out of the bullpen Thursday, and he'll remain in a low-leverage role unless he's able to earn some trust from manager Buck Showalter.
