The 30-year-old Zuber, who was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville, allowed two runs in two innings in his only appearance for the Mets. He appeared in two games for Tampa Bay last season but has not been a regular in the big leagues since 2021, when Zuber went 0-3 with a 6.26 ERA in 31 appearances for Kansas City.

The Marlins had claimed Nastrini off waivers from the White Sox just over a week ago. He appeared in one game for Jacksonville, allowing two runs on four walks and three hit batters in only two innings of work.

The 25-year-old Nastrini is 0-7 with a 7.07 ERA in nine career big league appearances.
