New York Mets Designate Richard Lovelady for Assignment Amid Bullpen Shuffle

As part of their ongoing bullpen adjustments, the New York Mets designated left-hander Richard Lovelady for assignment on Thursday, September 25, 2025. Lovelady has frequently moved between the active roster and the minor leagues this season. His most recent appearance for the Mets was in Wednesday’s loss to the Cubs, where he pitched 2.0 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) and throwing 31 pitches, contributing to the New York Mets' decision to shuffle their pitching staff.
