Justin Hagenman News: Takes loss in relief appearance

Hagenman (0-1) was the pitcher of record in the Mets' 7-3 loss to the Orioles in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out three over two-plus relief innings.

After making his first major-league start in his previous appearance Friday, Hagenman shifted to a relief role in a bullpen game. He entered a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the fourth inning and was still on the mound when the Orioles broke things open in the fifth. Considering Hagenman tossed 41 pitches Thursday, he's unlikely to be available for at least the next couple of days, so the Mets could option him to Triple-A Syracuse to clear a spot for Kodai Senga (hamstring), who will be reinstated from the injured list ahead of his start Friday in Kansas City.
