## Resource

The Mets are calling up Zach Thornton from Triple-A Syracuse to start Sunday against the Red Sox — a lefty with a quiet, strike-throwing arsenal who’s been sidelined by injury but now gets his second shot in the majors. Drafted in 2023, he didn’t pitch that year but flashed control and command in 2025 before an oblique setback. His first start came in May against the Nationals, and while the Red Sox rank first in OPS vs. lefties, Thornton’s pitchability and ability to keep runs off the board could be exactly what a struggling Mets rotation needs — especially if he can outsmart Boston’s lineup with precision over power.
