6 years agoNew York Mets reliever Jerry Blevins will be activated on Friday prior to the team’s series-opening game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Blevins was placed on the paternity list on Tuesday. Blevins and his wife welcomed their first child on Monday. Blevins has largely struggled in 2018, pitching to a bad 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across eight innings pitched, but he’s been a stud reliever for the Amazins the last few years. With a 2.94 ERA and 12.67 K/9 in 2017, its likely only a matter of time before he gets going. Whether or not the Mets offense can wake up to give Blevins holds opportunities is a much different story.--John Smith
