Joey Lucchesi Stats

New York Mets starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi (elbow) is scheduled to throw against live hitters during batting practice on Friday. The 29-year-old hasn't pitched all season as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. It sounds like Lucchesi is nearing a rehab assignment. That being said, there's a chance Lucchesi rejoins the Mets roster as early as next month. It's uncertain whether or not Lucchesi will rejoin the team as a starter or in a bullpen role. That being said, it's tough to evaluate what kind of value Lucchesi is going to have without knowing his role.

New York Mets left-hander Joey Lucchesi (elbow), who is recovering from Tommy John surgery last year, said he is hoping to be back in early or mid-August. He is currently with the Mets in Miami this weekend and said his rehab has been "pretty solid." Lucchesi is scheduled to throw his 10th bullpen session on Saturday and will advance to facing live hitters soon. It looks like all is well on the rehab trail for the 29-year-old southpaw, but he still has a ways to go before he's ready to make his season debut for the Mets. Before his injury in 2021, he had gone 1-4 with a 4.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 41 strikeouts and 11 walks in 38 1/3 innings over 11 appearances (eight starts). If New York's rotation is at full health by the time Lucchesi returns, he could very well return to a bullpen role.

New York Mets left-hander Joey Lucchesi (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery in June, began throwing for the first time on Tuesday since his operation. The 28-year-old will likely miss all of the 2022 season. When he returns in 2023, he'll have two years of team control remaining, which is the main reason why the Mets tendered him a contract on Tuesday. In 11 appearances (eight starts) in his first season for the Mets before he had elbow reconstruction, Lucchesi had a 4.46 ERA, 3.40 FIP, 1.17 WHIP, 41 strikeouts and 11 walks in 38 1/3 innings pitched.
