Nolan McLean makes an incredible behind-the-back snag to start an inning-ending 1-4-3 double play to escape a bases-loaded jam in the 3rd

With Nolan McLean gearing up for his MLB debut on Saturday, the Mets were forced to make a corresponding move and they've made it, designating Paul Blackburn for assignment.

Roupp missed most of 2023 and spent much of 2024 in the bullpen, throwing just 76 2/3 innings, making one wonder how he was going to hold up as a full-time starter for the Giants this season. He was already up to 101 1/3 innings -- just six off his career high from 2022 -- when he went on the IL last month with elbow inflammation.

The Mets could use some big-time help, so who better to call upon than a guy occasionally called Cowboy Ohtani?
