The Mets are planning to promote RHP Jeremy Hefner from Triple-A Buffalo for today's game against the Blue Jays, Adam Rubin reports to ESPN New York.com.
However, he points out, no move has been announced, though he speculates that Manny Acosta could be removed from the roster if Hefner is added.
Hefner tossed three scoreless innings in his big-league debut against the Giants last month, allowing three hits and one walk, after which he was sent back down to Triple-A.
Matthew Cerrone: It's not that Hefner is the end-all, be-all savior. But, he has shown a good command of his repertoire and he's not walking many batters these days in Triple-A. I like the move, because Hefner can pitch in relief (and lord knows they need the help right now) and he can start (depending on which pitcher Batista decides to be going forward). Again, not a world-changing move here, but a necessary one given the state of the pitching staff and being in the AL East this weekend.
