The former 37th-round draft pick in 2017 made his Mets debut in 2023 and has a career record of 0-1 with a 6.45 ERA in 24 games (zero starts). Carreno, 18, signed with Pittsburgh last year out of Venezuela. He is 0-1 with a 3.74 ERA in eight starts this season in the Dominican Summer League. --Field Level Media.

NEW YORK (AP) — In a surprising move Monday, the New York Mets cut veteran reliever Jake Diekman and promoted fellow left-hander Matt Gage from Triple-A Syracuse.

Mets ride three huge innings to blowout of Twins
Pete Alonso homered to lead off a six-run fourth inning on Monday night for the host New York Mets, who rolled to a 15-2 win over the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game interleague series. Eight starters had at least one hit and one RBI for the Mets, who later added five- and four-run innings while snapping a two-game losing streak and improving to 16-9 this month. Jesse Winker, the lone New York starter without an RBI, was 1-for-2 with a walk before being lifted for Tyrone Taylor following the fifth inning. Taylor went 2-for-2 with two runs. Jeff McNeil and Luis Torrens had three RBIs apiece for the Mets, and Torrens had a game-high three hits. Byron Buxton laced an RBI single in the first and Ryan Jeffers homered in the ninth for the Twins, who have lost six of their past 10. Buxton finished 2-for-2 with a walk. Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson (3-2) opened the game with three scoreless innings before Alonso homered on his second pitch of the fourth. The next six batters also reached -- including McNeil, Torrens and Francisco Lindor, all of whom had RBI singles -- before Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez hit consecutive sacrifice flies. Nimmo's RBI, which made it 5-1, knocked Woods Richardson from the game. Cole Sands took over on the mound. The Mets sent 11 batters to the plate in the sixth, when Nimmo (single), Martinez (forceout), Mark Vientos (bases-loaded walk), McNeil (sacrifice fly) and Harrison Bader (hit by pitch) all collected an RBI. Alonso and McNeil had run-scoring doubles in the seventh before Torrens hit a two-RBI double off outfielder Matt Wallner, who made his first major league pitching appearance. Jose Quintana (6-6) cruised to the win after allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings. Jose Butto earned his second save of the year, permitting four hits and a run over the final three innings. Woods Richardson gave up six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over 3 1/3 innings. Wallner, who threw mostly pitches clocked below 50 mph, got the final four outs without allowing a run. --Field Level Media.

3 Mets rumors we want to see come true, 2 we want to see disappear
An undesirable trade deadline acquisition if there ever was one, the Mets are reportedly looking into adding Trevor Rogers. He’s having an unimpressive season with the Marlins. He isn’t giving them much length nor does he have the kind of team control that could put him over the top as an absolute must for the Mets.
