Cahill signed a minor league contract with the Mets back in late May and has been cut loose after posting a bloated 6.52 ERA, 2.28 WHIP and 17/19 K/BB ratio across 19 1/3 innings (eight appearances, six starts) this season for Triple-A Syracuse. The 34-year-old veteran righty has made 361 appearances (233 starts) in the majors since 2009. There's a possibility this is it.

Cahill really struggled last season with the Pirates but did have some success in 2020 with the Giants while splitting time between the rotation and bullpen. He'll give the Mets rotation depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

The 33-year-old was on the 60-day injured list with a calf injury, so this will obviously set his recovery back quite a bit. Cahill is likely out for the rest of the season at this point.

Cahill has started throwing off flat ground and is slowly working his way back. He's been out since early June due to a left calf strain. The 33-year-old righty is still a ways off from returning for the Pirates this season.
