Cedric Mullins needs a reduced roleSince joining the Mets at the trade deadline, Cedric Mullins has struggled to provide the offensive spark the team hoped for. Through 48 innings, he’s pitched to a 4.27 ERA while allowing 50 hits and 29 walks. Reed Garrett needs to regain formReed Garrett was a bullpen force for the Mets early in the season, dominating from Opening Day through May 31. In 24.2 innings, he posted a microscopic 0.73 ERA, allowing just 15 hits and 13 walks while striking out 28. Garrett’s performance helped stabilize the back end of the bullpen, giving the Mets reliable innings in high-leverage situations and setting the tone for close games.
