Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@WardyNYM: “Mets get their immediate arm for the pen until it’s Clays next turn in the order Tong, Thornton, Wenninger the leading rookie candidates to take over that rotation spot barring changes”
@heshsson: “They weren’t going to bring up a starter who isn’t going to start for 4 days at this time. You bring up the extra bullpen arm for the time between starts.”
@Joqqla: “To the people complaining about this, I would guess Wenninger gets called up for his next start, but right now the Mets don’t need another starter so until then a reliever is being called up.”
