Dedniel Nuñez rejoins the New York Mets as they navigate injury challenges within their pitching staff. He was called up to replace Max Kranick, who is sidelined by a right elbow strain, the severity of which is still being evaluated. Nuñez's previous stint this season was rocky, marred by control issues, but recent improvements have led the Mets to give him another shot in high-leverage situations.

Nuñez was a valuable asset in last season's bullpen and had a successful run in Triple-A, demonstrating the ability to throw multiple innings effectively. The Mets are optimistic, especially if he can regain the strike-throwing form he displayed last year. Kranick's injury is concerning given his past Tommy John surgery, prompting the team to exercise caution. In addition to these roster changes, the Mets are also dealing with Brett Baty's ongoing groin soreness, which could impact their offensive depth.
