They are coming off a series where they split four games with the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park.

According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the Mets have made a roster move before their series with the Royals.
DiComo wrote: “The Mets designated Guillo Zuñiga for assignment, per source, one day after the reliever made his team debut. That clears 40-man space for another right-hander, Matt Seelinger, whom the Mets acquired yesterday.”
That clears 40-man space for another right-hander, Matt Seelinger, whom the Mets acquired yesterday.
Zuñiga has spent part of three seasons in the MLB.
Before his one game with New York, he had played for the St. Louis Cardinals (2023) and Los Angeles Angels (2024).
Over 18 career games, the 27-year-old has gone 0-0 with a 4.79 ERA.
It will be interesting to see if another team makes a claim on Zuñiga.
There is also the chance that he returns to the Mets’ organization.
