Shreve (1-2) allowed five runs while retiring only two batters to take the loss Thursday against the Orioles. He gave up four hits and a walk.
Shreve came out for the top of the seventh inning and promptly allowed a single and a double to start the frame. Things didn't get much better from there, and the lefty saw his ERA climb from 3.00 to 7.45 in the process. Shreve wasn't much better for the Mets last year, posting a 6.49 ERA across 25 games, so expectations should be kept fairly low moving forward despite the fact he's seen high-leverage chances early this year for the Tigers.
Shreve (0-1) allowed an unearned run across 1.1 innings of work to take the loss in Wednesday's 10-inning contest against the Blue Jays.
Shreve suffered a tough-luck blown save and loss, as he allowed two inherited runners to score in the ninth inning on sacrifice flies. The lefty then allowed the automatic runner on second base to score in the 10th, giving Toronto the walkoff win. Despite the negative outcome, it's encouraging to see Shreve receive high-leverage work with the Tigers.

Tigers' Chasen Shreve: Contract selected by Detroit
Rotowire
Shreve had his contract selected by the Tigers on Thursday.
Shreve was informed Wednesday that he earned a spot on Detroit's Opening Day roster, and now he's officially been added to the big club. The 32-year-old struggled to a 6.49 ERA in in 25 outings for the Mets last season, but he pitched well during spring training with two earned runs allowed and a 10:3 K:BB across eight frames.

Tigers' Chasen Shreve: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Shreve was informed Wednesday that he'll be included on Detroit's Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Tigers still have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for him, but Shreve earns a spot with the big club after forging a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over eight innings in eight appearances in the Grapefruit League. The southpaw will likely start the campaign in a middle-innings role, but given Detroit's lack of established options in the bullpen, he could quickly move into higher-leverage opportunities.

Tigers' Chasen Shreve: Looks set to make team
Rotowire
Shreve has a clearer path to an Opening Day bullpen spot with the Tigers reassigning Jace Fry, Trevor Rosenthal and Matt Wisler to minor-league camp Monday
Shreve has pitched well this spring with a 2.25 ERA and 10 strikeouts across eight Grapefruit League innings. It looks like that will help the lefty make the team with the Tigers thinning out their options Monday. Shreve figures to mostly be used situationally against left-handed hitters and likely won't have a ton of fantasy appeal, at least in the early going.

Tigers' Chasen Shreve: Off to good start
Rotowire
Shreve has posted a 2.70 ERA and and five strikeouts across 3.1 Grapefruit League innings so far.
It's a small sample, but Shreve is making a good first impression as he competes for a bullpen spot with the Tigers. The lefty agreed to a minor-league contract with Detroit in January following a disappointing season with the Mets in which he recorded a 6.49 ERA over 26.1 innings. However, he looked much better for Pittsburgh in 2021, posting a 3.20 ERA across 56.1 innings of relief. If Shreve can get back to that level, he should be able to stick in the majors this year.

Tigers' Chasen Shreve: Signs minor deal with Tigers
Rotowire
Shreve signed a minor-league contract with Detroit on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Following a solid season in 2021 with Pittsburgh, Shreve wasn't able to get going in 2022 with the Mets, recording a 6.49 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 26.1 frames out of the 'pen. He was able to draw a minor-league deal from the Yankees and throw 5.2 quality innings in Triple-A Scranton. If the 32-year old lefty can pick up where he left off in the minors, there is a good chance he'll make it into the Tigers' bullpen.

Mets' Chasen Shreve: DFA'd on Tuesday
Rotowire
The Mets designated Shreve for assignment Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
New York needed a roster spot for Max Scherzer and Shreve, having posted a 10.43 ERA in his last 15 appearances, was an obvious choice for demotion. Shreve's poor numbers suggest he'll clear waivers and continue his season with Triple-A Syracuse.

Mets' Chasen Shreve: Hit with loss Sunday
Rotowire
Shreve (1-1) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, giving up two runs on two hits while striking out one in one inning of relief.
He entered the game to get the final two outs in the fifth inning with the Mets protecting a 5-4 lead, but Julio Rodriguez led off the sixth with a solo shot, and Shreve allowed another single that also came around to score. The southpaw has served up homers in two straight appearances, but on the season he still sports a 3.38 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 13.1 innings with two holds.

Mets' Chasen Shreve: Two perfect innings, win
Rotowire
Shreve (1-0) earned the win in relief, pitching two perfect innings and striking out two in a 5-0 win Sunday over Arizona.
Shreve entered the game in the sixth inning with the score 0-0 after a leadoff double knocked Trevor Williams out of the game. Shreve retired all six batters he faced and became the pitcher of record when the Mets' offense exploded for five runs. The journeyman reliever has now pitched four perfect innings in a row, striking out six in that span.

Mets' Chasen Shreve: Makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Shreve told Tim Healey of Newsday on Monday that the Mets have informed him that he's made their Opening Day roster.
The Mets will likely make the move official within the next couple of days when Shreve's contract is purchased from the minors. Shreve, who was attending camp as a non-roster invitee, earned his way on the roster after striking out six and permitting just one walk in four no-hit innings during Grapefruit League play. The 31-year-old lefty is back for his second stint with the Mets, after he split the 2018 campaign between New York and St. Louis. He was most recently part of the Pirates organization in 2021, logging 57 appearances for the big club and compiling a 3.20 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 56.1 innings.

Mets' Chasen Shreve: Joins Mets on minor-league deal

Shreve signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Shreve made 57 relief appearances for the Pirates in 2021 and logged 11 holds while posting a 3.20 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 56.1 innings. He'll rejoin the Mets after making 17 appearances for the club during the 2020 campaign, and he'll make $1.5 million if he earns a major-league roster spot at some point.

Chasen Shreve: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Shreve declined an outright assignment to the minors Saturday and elected free agency.
Shreve finished with a 3.20 ERA in 56.1 innings of relief this season, but his peripherals don't support that number very well, as he struck out a career-low 19.1 percent of opposing batters while walking 11.9 percent. Still, as a competent enough lefty reliever, he should be able to find work on the open market.

Pirates' Chasen Shreve: Takes third loss
Rotowire
Shreve (3-3) gave up two runs on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss and a blown save versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
The southpaw allowed Trayce Thompson and Frank Schwindel to reach base in the seventh inning, and Nick Mears allowed both inherited runners to score on a Willson Contreras double. It's the second time in four appearances Shreve has taken a blown save and a loss. He has a solid 3.25 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 44:28 K:BB through 55.1 innings while adding 11 holds this year in what has usually been a middle-relief role.

Pirates' Chasen Shreve: Stuck with loss Friday
Rotowire
Shreve (3-2) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk with a strikeout in one inning Friday, taking the loss versus Philadelphia.
The southpaw didn't have his best stuff and he paid for it, allowing a three-run home run to Didi Gregorius in the seventh inning. Shreve has been effective for much of this season with a 3.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 41:27 K:BB -- the elevated walk rate is the only real concern. He's added eight holds in 53 appearances, but he's rarely seen a truly high-leverage role.
