The move was made retroactive to Saturday, a day after Garrett allowed two runs and three hits in the eighth inning of a 12-7 win at Atlanta. Garrett threw two four-seam fastballs in his 28 pitches and allowed RBI singles to Jurickson Profar<\/a> and Ronald Acuna Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n “He was having a hard time recovering,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said before the opener of a three-game series against the NL East-leading Phillies. “Obviously we use this guy a lot. As of late, the past couple of weeks even on days that people probably thought he was available, we were staying away from him because he was having a hard time until yesterday after he played catch, it’s like we’re going to take a look at this.”<\/p>\n Garrett is 3-5 with three saves and a 3.61 ERA in a career-high 54 appearances this season. He allowed multiple runs for the third time in five outings Friday and has a 6.97 ERA over his last 10 appearances.<\/p>\n Mendoza said the 32-year-old Garrett will get a cortisone shot and could resume throwing a few days after the injection.<\/p>\n Last season, Garrett missed a month with swelling in his right elbow. After he returned, he had a 4.11 ERA in his final 17 appearances and a 5.40 ERA in seven postseason appearances as the Mets advanced to the NLCS against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n The Mets replaced Garrett on the roster by bringing up Jos\u00e9 Castillo from Triple-A Syracuse. Castillo is 0-1 with a 2.19 ERA in 14 relief appearances with New York after being acquired from the Diamondbacks on May 15.<\/p>\n The Mets also transferred Frankie Montas<\/a> to the 60-day injured list, two days after announcing the struggling right-hander will miss the rest of the season because of a right elbow injury.<\/p>\nPhoto by Rich von Biberstein\/Icon Sportswire<\/p>\n
