Mets Call Up Veteran Edwards, Seek Playoff Push

0:00It's April 24th. This is New York Meds News today, AI-powered updates on your team. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Meds just called up veteran reliever Carl Edwards Jr. to the big leagues, optioning Christian Scott in the move. This comes right after they snapped a 12-game losing streak with two straight wins. New York's looking to build some momentum, and Edwards brings that experienced arm to the bullpen. His burst onto the scene back in 2015 with the Cubs, even snagging a world series ring the next year in 2016. Since then, he's bounced around from Chicago to a bunch of teams, including Stins with the Angels and Rangers last season. He inked a minor league deal with the Meds this off-season, hoping to revive his big league career. Fans in the front office are buzzing with cautious hope. The Meds have had a rough go, sitting at nine wins and 16 losses, fourth in the National League East. But with the Phillies dropping nine in a row, New York's eyeing a climb up the standings and maybe even a playoff push.

1:02In Tribal A this year, the 34-year-old writing posted a 5.29 ERA over four appearances, not lights out, but the Meds believe his. Savvy can steady the ship, officials see him as key depth right now. They go for win number three Friday night against the Colorado Rockies. The legacy of Edwards helps turn the skid into a streak.
