Mets closer Jeurys Familia is with the team in Arizona, but he will not be activated for tonight’s game against the Diamondbacks. Instead, he will be activated prior to Sunday’s game.
Familia, 28, was placed on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder retroactive to June 6th. In his last game pitched against the Orioles, he allowed one run on two hits in one inning, earning a loss.
After pitching just 24.2 innings in 2017 due to another right shoulder injury, he has pitched to a 2.48 ERA and 2.29 FIP across 29.0 innings and 14 saves this season. He has struck out 33, walked nine, and allowed 27 hits good for a 1.241 WHIP.
