Mets' Jose Butto: Returned to Triple-A
Butto was returned to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Butto served as the 27th man for the Mets during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers and allowed one earned run over 2.1 innings of relief. He'll jump back into a starting role at Triple-A.

Mets' Jose Butto: Back up for twin bill
The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse and designated him as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Detroit, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Butto previously served as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, but he went unused after being called up prior to the second game of the twin bill. After being returned to Triple-A on Tuesday, Butto will be back with the big club a day later as the 27th man once again. He'll be available for both games of the doubleheader this time around before heading back to Syracuse.

Mets' Jose Butto: Up for back end of twin bill
The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of the second game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta.
Though Butto was optioned to Syracuse just one day earlier, he's eligible to pitch in relief for the nightcap Monday since the Mets are designating him as their 27th man for the twin bill. He'll give the Mets a fresh arm after the team needed five relievers to cover nine innings in the 9-8 loss in Game 1, though Butto won't necessarily be tasked with a big workload in Game 2 if starter Tylor Megill is able to provide a decent amount of length.

Mets' Jose Butto: Demoted back to minors
The Mets optioned Butto to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Due to a rainout Sunday, the Mets will conclude their series with Atlanta with a doubleheader Monday. Butto looked to be a candidate to start one of those two contests along with Tylor Megill, but unless the Mets elect to place another player on the injured list in a corresponding move, Butto won't be eligible to be recalled ahead of the twin bill. Butto's demotion comes after he pitched to a 2.79 ERA in 9.2 innings over his prior two starts with the big club, but his underlying numbers -- specifically, a 3:10 K:BB -- didn't portend strong results moving forward.

Mets' Jose Butto: Picks up another start
Butto is scheduled to start Sunday's game against Atlanta at Citi Field.
Butto will wind up getting two starts this week, as he previously took a loss to the Nationals on Tuesday while working 4.2 innings and giving up two runs on four hits and six walks. Through his two outings with the big club this season, Butto owns an ugly 3:10 K:BB in 9.2 innings, and the poor control he's displayed thus far makes it tough to rely on him as a streaming option against a potent Atlanta lineup. The Mets are set to return Max Scherzer from suspension next week and will likely get Justin Verlander (shoulder) back from the injured list as well, so expect Butto to be optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse following Sunday's start, regardless of how he performs.

Mets' Jose Butto: Struggles with command
Butto (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and six walks over 4.2 innings against Washington. He struck out one.
Butto had control issues once again Tuesday, walking six batters in 4.2 frames, but he managed to limit the Nationals to just two runs and took the loss. The 25-year-old has struggled in both of his spot starts this season with a 3:10 K:BB over 9.2 innings. Considering he hasn't given the Mets any reason to keep him on the big league roster, Butto will likely be optioned back down to Triple-A once Justin Verlander (shoulder) returns from the IL, but the former might be needed for one more start, which could come Sunday against Atlanta.

Mets' Jose Butto: Joining big-league rotation
The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, and he's in line to start or serve as a bulk reliever in the team's series opener versus the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Butto was optioned to Triple-A just eight days ago, but he'll be able to rejoin the big club in fewer than the minimum 15 days because the Mets placed reliever Edwin Uceta (ankle) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The rookie right-hander acquitted himself well in his first start with the big club April 16 in Oakland, covering five innings and allowing one earned run in a no-decision. Butto tentatively lines up for a two-start week -- he's in line to take the hill again Sunday in Atlanta -- but he could head back to the minors immediately after that outing with ace Justin Verlander (shoulder) likely to return from the IL in the first week of May.

Mets' Jose Butto: Sent down to Triple-A
Butto was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Butto pitched well on Sunday while allowing just a run against the Athletics over five innings, but he's sent down to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen. Edwin Uceta takes his place on the roster. Butto will likely be an up-and-down option for the Mets throughout the 2023 campaign.

Mets' Jose Butto: Allows one run in no-decision
Butto gave up one run on five hits and four walks in a no decision versus the Athletics on Sunday. He struck out two.
Butto supplied the Mets with a solid effort after he stepped in to pitch on short notice. The 25-year-old showed some struggle with his command, throwing just 43-of-83 pitches for strikes but he did induce a 50 percent ground ball rate and was able to limit the damage overall. Butto will likely be optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and could be a candidate for another call up if the Mets' rotation faces any more injuries.

Mets' Jose Butto: Will start Sunday against A's
Mets manager Buck Showalter announced after Saturday's game that Butto will get the start Sunday against the Athletics in place of Max Scherzer (side/back), Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Scherzer's start is being moved back three days because of lingering soreness in his back and side, so it'll be Butto on the bump. Butto made two starts with Triple-A Syracuse before being promoted Saturday morning, and should be fully stretched out while getting a chance to face one of the weaker MLB lineups Sunday.

Mets' Jose Butto: Recalled from Triple-A
Butto was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Syracuse.
Butto could draw a start at some point during the Mets' current West Coast road trip, which began Friday and runs through next Sunday. He has registered a 1.86 ERA and 8:5 K:BB through 9.2 innings (two starts) this season at the Triple-A level.

Mets' Jose Butto: Candidate for NYM rotation
Butto is a candidate to join the Mets' rotation on the club's west coast road trip, which begins Friday in Oakland, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The trip runs through April 23 and also includes matchups with the Dodgers and Giants. DiComo notes the Mets have been discussing adding a starter to give every other member of the rotation an extra day of rest during the swing out west, which doesn't include any scheduled off days. Butto, 25, has pitched to a 1.86 ERA and 8:5 K:BB in 9.2 innings (two starts) this season with Triple-A Syracuse. He was scratched from his next scheduled start there Friday, presumably in anticipation of a promotion to the big leagues.

Mets' Jose Butto: Optioned to Syracuse
Butto was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets.
Butto was never likely to begin the season with the Mets, but he is one of the better pitching prospects in the system and reached the majors for one appearance in 2022. The 24-year-old will begin the season in the International League, and could make starts for New York if he's needed and pitches well for Syracuse this spring.

Mets' Jose Butto: Impresses in spring start
Butto gave up a run on zero hits and two walks over 1.2 innings in Saturday's split-squad game against the Marlins, striking out four straight batters.
The run crossed the plate after he'd left the game in the second inning. Butto touched 97 mph with his fastball, and while the 24-year-old right-hander isn't viewed as an elite prospect, he did post solid numbers between Double-A and Triple-A in 2022 before making his big-league debut in late August. The Mets have plenty of rotation depth, but if injuries thin the ranks, Butto could be a factor later in the year if he continues his development and can add a reliable curveball to his fastball-changeup arsenal.

Mets' Jose Butto: Returns to minors
Butto was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
Butto was knocked around Sunday in his major-league debut, so the Mets decided to return him to Syracuse for the time being. He is one of the club's top prospects, so he figures to be back in the big leagues at some point, either this season or next.

Mets' Jose Butto: Crushed for seven runs
Butto allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks over four innings against the Phillies on Sunday. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
The Mets eventually won the back-and-forth thriller, letting Butto off the hook in his MLB debut. The right-handed rookie was tagged with a pair of three-run homers by Alec Bohm. Butto will likely head back to Triple-A Syracuse, where he's posted a 4.00 ERA this season.

Mets' Jose Butto: Recalled prior to start
The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse prior to his start Sunday against the Phillies.
Butto is set to make his big-league debut after throwing only six innings with Triple-A. He has spent the majority of the season with Double-A Binghamton, where he maintained a 4.00 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 108:35 K:BB across 92.1 innings. Butto isn't likely to stick in the rotation, as the Mets were in need of an extra starter due to a doubleheader Saturday.

Mets' Jose Butto: Set for big-league debut
Butto will start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Butto was only recently promoted to Triple-A Syracuse, and his second start with the club was cut short in anticipation that he may be needed in the majors. He has spent the majority of the season with Double-A Binghamton, where he posted a 108:35 K:BB, 4.00 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 92.1 frames. Butto's first stint in the majors could be short, as the Mets only need to turn to a six-man rotation due to their doubleheader Saturday.

Mets' Jose Butto: Promoted to Triple-A
Butto was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Michael Meyer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Butto will make his way to Triple-A after producing a 4.00 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 108 punchouts over 92.1 innings in 20 appearances with Double-A Binghamton this season. The right-hander is now one step closer to making his major-league debut.

Mets' Jose Butto: Moves to minor-league camp
Butto was optioned to minor-league camp Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Butto was added to the 40-man roster in November but isn't quite knocking on the door of the active roster. He's yet to reach Triple-A and only made eight Double-A starts, though those went quite well, as he struck out 29.9 percent of opposing batters and walked just 5.4 percent en route to a 3.12 ERA.
