Huascar Brazobán's recent performance has faltered, leading to a significant setback for the New York Mets. After struggling in a game against the San Diego Padres, where he failed to protect a 5-1 lead, Brazobán was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse. The Mets are bringing veteran Chris Devenski back to offer a fresh arm in relief. Despite Brazobán's potential, highlighted by his ability to limit hard contact, his struggles with walks and heavy hits have necessitated this move. The Mets hope this will allow him to regain his confidence.

Frankie Montas's recent outing didn't set the stage well for Brazobán, who allowed inherited runners to score, leading to a loss against the Padres. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed the need for a fresh option, as Brazobán's recent low-leverage usage indicated a loss of trust in critical situations. Meanwhile, Rico Garcia has impressed with a scoreless streak, prompting the Mets to keep him on the roster, making for a tumultuous time for Brazobán.
