Justin Hagenman News: Will pitch in Friday's game

The Mets will recall Hagenman from Triple-A Syracuse to serve either as a starting pitcher or bulk reliever in Friday's game in Philadelphia, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

With Tylor Megill (elbow) landing on the 15-day injured list this week and Frankie Montas (lat) and Sean Manaea (oblique) not quite ready to return, the Mets are in need of a spot starter. Hagenman pitched well in a bulk-relief appearance earlier this season with the Mets, striking out four over 3.1 frames of one-run ball. He's made six starts and four relief appearances this season with Syracuse, collecting a bloated 6.21 ERA but an impressive 39:8 K:BB over 33.1 innings.
