NEW YORK -- The Mets re-signed pitcher Robert Stock to a one-year contract Friday.
Stock, who turns 37 this month, made seven starts and one relief appearance for the last-place Mets in 2026. He went 1-3 with a 5.93 ERA over 30⅓ innings during a comeback season.
The right-hander earned his first major league win since 2019 with the San Diego Padres when he threw 5⅓ shutout innings Aug. 31 in a 3-2 victory at the Tampa Bay Rays. He was placed on the 15-day injured list Sept. 16 because of numbness in his fingers and didn't pitch for the rest of the season.
Stock said he was on medication for the condition, a by-product of the thoracic outlet syndrome surgery he underwent in March. He said he would usually begin to experience numbness after throwing about 60 or 70 pitches in a game.
He has pitched for eight big league organizations as well as in South Korea and Mexico and for the independent Long Island Ducks. He is 3-7 with a 5.20 ERA in 65 major league games, including 10 starts, for the Padres, Red Sox, Cubs and Mets.
The Mets also announced Thursday that they will wear a memorial patch on the sleeve of their uniforms in honor of Jerry Koosman next season. Koosman, a two-time All-Star who pitched the 1969 Miracle Mets to a World Series championship, died Sunday at age 83.
