The Mets reached down to the Atlantic League to find some potential help for their bullpen.

The team signed Nick Rumbelow off the Sugar Land Skeeters this week and assigned him to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. Rumbelow was a seventh-round draft pick of the Yankees in 2013 and pitched briefly with the team in 2015. The Yankees traded him to the Mariners after the 2017 season and he struggled in his two seasons in Seattle.

Rumbelow was designated for assignment in May after allowing four runs in 1 1/3 innings over three appearances. The 27-year-old right-hander was dominant in the Atlantic League, pitching to a 0.81 ERA with 31 strikeouts over 22 1/3 innings.

The Mets bullpen has had a resurgent second half and is among the reasons they have pushed into wild-card contention. The team did recently lose a key piece, though, with Robert Gsellman likely out for the season with a partially torn lat muscle.
