The New York Mets manager Andy Green announced their pair of September call-ups, with outfielder Nick Morabito and right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman set to join the active roster on Tuesday evening in Florida. After the Baltimore Orioles claimed Luis Robert Jr. off waivers, Morabito is expected to become the Mets’ right-handed short-side platoon outfielder, similar to the role Robert Jr. has filled since returning from the injured list.

In 114 games for Triple-A Syracuse, Morabito, a second-round selection in 2023, owns a .743 OPS with 42 stolen bases. He made a quick cameo with the big-league club back in May, but went an underwhelming 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts and a caught stealing.

He should be able to stick with the Mets for the rest of the season, but he’ll need to produce at the plate to head into the 2027 off-season as a name the team considers for its Opening Day roster.

Hagenman is set to start for the Mets on Wednesday, according to Green, in an effort to try to give their younger starter an extra day of rest down the home stretch of the season.

He has been out since the start of the season with a rib fracture, but appeared in nine games last season for the team. Considering how light his workload was on his rehab assignment, his outing may not be too long.

He went four innings in his final rehab start for Syracuse on August 28, his longest outing as he worked his way back. For his career, he owns a 4.56 ERA in his nine major league games, one of which was a start.

Green has been straightforward with his beliefs on September call-ups, specifically regarding how the awarded players need to earn the decision and will be selected intentionally. Along with the two call-ups set for Tuesday, the Mets returned infielder Mark Vientos from the injured list to take the roster spot of Robert Jr.
