The Mets have reinstated 29-year-old right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman from the 60-day injured list, and they’ve optioned 26-year-old right-handed reliever Dylan Ross back to Triple-A Syracuse to clear a spot on the active roster.
Hagenman last pitched in a major league game last September, and after hitting the injured list with a rib fracture back in mid-March, he didn’t get into a minor league game until he appeared with the Single-A St. Lucie Mets on August 18.
