Update:

And now the reasoning behind this promotion makes sense. Marc Carig reported on twitter that Scott Rice will be undergoing season-ending surgery for a hernia.

Original Article:

The New York Mets announced a roster move via twitter a few moments ago:

Sean Henn, 32, was selected in the 26th round by the New York Yankees in the 2000 MLB draft. He’s played in the major leagues in parts of five seasons with four different teams (Yankees, San Diego Padres, Minnesota Twins, and Baltimore Orioles). The last time he saw time in the bigs came in 2009 with the Orioles; he put together a 9.00 ERA and 3.33 WHIP in six appearances (3 IP) for the O’s.

In 60 career MLB appearances, Henn is 2-9 with a 7.56 ERA, 2.01 WHIP, 64 walks, and 62 strikeouts in 81 innings pitched.

The announcement of this promotion was surprising to me, and Adam Rubin tried to provide some opinion as to why Henn got the call today:

The left-handed reliever has spent all of the 2013 season with Triple-A Las Vegas after spending 2012 with the Seattle Mariners organization in Triple-A Tacoma. As you can see from the first tweet, he’s performed pretty well in the PCL despite allowing a lot of base runners (1.60 WHIP).

Congratulations to Sean on his promotion! It must feel good after almost four years since getting his last call.
