The New York Mets acquired Oakland Athletics RHP Paul Blackburn for pitching prospect #27 ranked Kade Morris.

Blackburn is 4-2 with a 4.41 ERA in 51 innings with 38 strikeouts in nine starts this year.

He started out well with 22 1/3 innings, but was then placed on the injured list on May 13th with a foot injury.

Blackburn returned last Friday and allowed four runs in five innings.

He is under team control through 2025 and will help fill a void in rotation without Kodai Senga and Christian Scott.
