Date:

Mets designated RHP Collin McHugh for assignment.

McHugh, who turns 26 on June 19, had a 10.29 ERA in seven innings with the Mets this year. He was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Carlos Torres.
Jun 15 - 6:32 PM

Mets optioned RHP Collin McHugh to Triple-A Las Vegas.

McHugh allowed four runs on six innings over four-plus innings in a spot start last week. The Mets have called up David Aardsma to take his place on the active roster.
Jun 8 - 10:22 AM

Starting in place of the injury Jon Niese, Collin McHugh gave up four runs in four innings Saturday in a loss to the Mets.

The Mets lost 8-1 today and have been outscored 13-2 by the Marlins the last two days. That's as many runs as the Marlins typically score in five games. McHugh shouldn't be guaranteed any additional starts.
Jun 1 - 7:11 PM

Mets recalled RHP Collin McHugh from Triple-A Las Vegas.

McHugh was sporting a cool 2.74 ERA and 36/9 K/BB ratio through 49 1/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level. The right-hander will function as a middle reliever.
May 14 - 5:16 PM

Collin McHugh has been summoned to join the Mets in St. Louis.

He'll presumably replace Scott Atchison, who is dealing with elbow soreness. McHugh owns a 2.74 ERA and 36/9 K/BB ratio over 49 1/3 innings this season with Triple-A Las Vegas. The Mets will likely have him pitch in middle relief.
May 14 - 2:44 PM

Mets manager Terry Collins believes Collin McHugh is likely "out of gas."

McHugh tossed seven shutout frames in his major league debut on August 23, but he has allowed 18 runs (15 earned) in 13 innings since. The 25-year-old right-hander has logged a career-high 168 1/3 innings this season between the minors and the majors, so it's possible he is dealing with some fatigue. As of now, he lines up to face the Marlins next Monday.

Collin McHugh was hammered in a losing effort against the Pirates on Tuesday, surrendering seven runs on five hits in just 1 1/3 innings of work.

McHugh issued three free passes without striking out a batter. Pedro Alvarez hit three-run bomb in the first inning and a Josh Harrison added a two-run triple in the second. McHugh had posted a solid 3.86 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 18 2/3 innings coming into the game, but the Pirates were all over him from the start. He’ll attempt to get back on track when he wraps up his season against the Marlins in Miami on Monday.

Collin McHugh was chased for five runs over four innings Monday in a loss to the Nationals.

He gave up five hits (including three homers) while walking two and striking out three. McHugh has allowed nine runs in eight innings over his last two starts since his impressive major league debut. Fantasy owners can do better.

Collin McHugh surrendered four runs in four innings to take a loss to the Cardinals on Monday.

McHugh pitched a gem Aug. 23 in his major league debut, but his second start didn't go so well. He allowed six hits, including a homer, a triple and a double. McHugh isn't guaranteed to remain in the rotation, but he'll likely make at least a couple of more spot starts this month.

Mets recalled RHP Collin McHugh from Triple-A Buffalo.

McHugh will start for the Mets on Monday afternoon in St. Louis. The young right-hander struck out nine batters over seven scoreless innings last month in his major league debut and may be worth streaming in deeper mixed fantasy leagues against the slumping Cardinals offense.
Mon, Sep 3, 2012 11:13:00 AM

Collin McHugh will start against the Cardinals on September 3.

McHugh struck out nine over seven scoreless innings in his major league debut last Thursday, but he was quickly optioned to the minors in order to make room for Jeremy Hefner's return from the paternity leave list. The Cards are a tough matchup in his first start back, but the young right-hander should have some value in NL-only leagues the rest of the way.

Mets optioned RHP Collin McHugh to Triple-A Buffalo.

McHugh turned in a dominant major-league debut against the Rockies on Thursday, fanning nine in seven scoreless innings, but the Amazins needed to clear a roster spot for Jeremy Hefner, who came off the paternity list on Friday. McHugh will certainly be back once rosters are expanded, and worth streaming in NL-only leagues.
Fri, Aug 24, 2012 03:35:00 PM

Collin McHugh pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Rockies in his major league debut Thursday.

Very impressive. McHugh has never been considered a top prospect, but he was able to get swings and misses with both his low-90s fastball and his curveball today. We wouldn't start thinking of him as a 2013 keeper just yet, but he's certainly worth trying in NL-only leagues for now.

Mets purchased the contract of RHP Collin McHugh from Triple-A Buffalo.

McHugh is making his major league debut on Thursday afternoon as the Mets wrap up a series with the Rockies. The 25-year-old right-hander had a 2.88 ERA and 132/44 K/BB ratio in 143 2/3 innings this season in the minors. He could be worth trying in NL-only fantasy leagues.
