The Mets optioned Hagenman to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
Hagenman pitched in three games since his latest recall but will head back to the minors after the Mets activated Paul Blackburn (shoulder) from the 15-day IL on Wednesday. Hagenman has a 3.26 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB across 19.1 innings for New York this season, so he could get another look with the big club down the stretch.

Mets' Justin Hagenman: Nearly perfect in first career save
Rotowire
Hagenman was credited with the save in Tuesday's 13-5 win over Atlanta after allowing one walk in four hitless and scoreless innings of relief. He struck out five.
Hagenman notched his first career save after handling mop-up duty Tuesday, and he was certainly impressive in doing so. The right-hander has a serviceable 3.26 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB across his first 19.1 innings, but he's highly unlikely to be in the running for save opportunities for the Mets in more competitive games.

Mets' Justin Hagenman: Takes loss in relief appearance
Rotowire
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.

Mets' Justin Hagenman: Shaky in spot start
Rotowire
Hagenman didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Yankees, giving up four runs on five hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.
Hagenman served up three home runs, two of which came in the opening frame. The right-hander settled down a bit afterward to eat some innings for a depleted Mets rotation, fanning a season-high five in his longest outing of the year. Through 10.1 frames, Hagenman owns a 4.35 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 10:0 K:BB. His next turn in New York's rotation lines up to be against the Orioles at Camden Yards, although it's possible Kodai Senga (hamstring) will be able to return for that spot.

Mets' Justin Hagenman: Will pitch in Friday's game
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
The Mets optioned Hagenman to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Even with the Mets' rotation depth taking hits this spring from injuries to Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat), Hagenman was unable to make a major push for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old righty is on the 40-man roster, so he could make his big-league debut at some point in 2025 if injuries on the staff continue to mount. Hagenman spent the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Worcester in the Red Sox organization, logging a 4.91 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB over 91.2 innings.

Mets' Justin Hagenman: Might be rotation option
Rotowire
Hagenman could be get a look in the Mets' rotation this season, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
New York has already seen Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat) go down this spring, with both pitchers expected to begin the season on the injured list. If the spate of injuries continues, Hagenman might be the next man up, especially if the team wants to deploy a six-man rotation in April during a 13-day stretch with no off days. The 28-year-old right-hander has yet to make his MLB debut. but he's on the 40-man roster and posted a 4.91 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB over 91.2 innings for Triple-A Worcester in the Boston organization last season.
