Mets address bullpen injuries with roster moves, call up relievers

Both the Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Mets are facing significant bullpen challenges due to injuries to key relievers. The Diamondbacks, despite strong offensive performances, have lost closers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez to the injured list, leaving a gap in their ability to hold late-game leads and forcing them to explore the trade market for arms like Anthony Bender and Ryan Helsley. Meanwhile, the Mets' bullpen stability was upended when top left-handers A.J. Minter and Danny Young went on the IL, with Minter possibly out for the season and Young potentially needing Tommy John surgery. In response, the Mets have rapidly shuffled their bullpen, calling up Génesis Cabrera and Ty Adcock from Triple-A to fill immediate needs, with Cabrera now the only lefty in the bullpen. Both teams' bullpen woes are compounded by the competitiveness of their divisions and the relentless schedule, making the search for reliable relievers urgent. These situations highlight the volatility of bullpen depth and the importance of adaptability during the MLB season.
