Meanwhile, right-hander Bryce Conley is being selected to the 40-man roster, with Kevin Herget being designated for assignment in a corresponding move. As is typical with these moves, Herget was brought up for that lone appearance, and now he’s designated to bring in a fresh arm. Herget finished the 2025 season in the Mets’ system and rejoined on a new minor league deal in December. Stock spent four months on the minor league IL for arterial thoracic outlet syndrome. He has a 2.91 ERA in 21 2/3 innings between a June rehab assignment at Double-A and subsequent appearances with Syracuse.
