Nogosek returns to the Mets, having last pitched on August 20 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Nogosek went 1 2/3 IP in that appearance, striking out two and allowing zero runs.
On the season, Nogosek is pitching to a 2.79 ERA in 19 1/3 IP while striking out 15 and walking seven.
Nogosek has pitched in Syracuse for most of the year but will be available tonight to provide the Mets with additional depth in the bullpen, a bullpen that saw closer Edwin Díaz record five outs last night against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
