Rockies' John Curtiss: Loses out in roster bid
The Rockies reassigned Curtiss to minor-league camp Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Curtiss joined the Rockies on a minor-league deal in late January after his 2023 campaign with the Mets came to an early end in August, when he required an arthroscopic procedure to remove a loose body from his right elbow. Though he received a clean bill of health heading into spring training, Curtiss submitted a 9.82 ERA and 2.05 WHIP over 7.1 innings in Cactus League play to effectively remove himself from consideration for a spot in Colorado's Opening Day bullpen.

Rockies' John Curtiss: Invited to Rockies' camp
Curtiss signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Curtiss underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow in August but should be ready for the start of the 2024 season. The 30-year-old reliever has collected a career 3.81 ERA and 103:32 K:BB over 106.1 innings covering parts of six major-league seasons.

John Curtiss: Becomes free agent
Curtiss (elbow) elected to become a free agent Monday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
He'll head to free agency rather than accept an outright assignment by the Mets. Curtiss had arthroscopic elbow surgery in August and it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in games again.

Mets' John Curtiss: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Mets placed Curtiss (elbow) on outright waivers Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Curtiss has been on the 60-day IL since August, so the Mets don't gain a roster spot by waiving the 30-year-old reliever. However, the move gives Curtiss the option to elect free agency and decide where he plays in 2024. Curtiss put up a 4.58 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 19.2 innings before undergoing season-ending elbow surgery.

Mets' John Curtiss: Undergoes elbow cleanup
Curtiss underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a loose body from his right elbow, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Curtiss was diagnosed with the loose body last week and can now officially be ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. He made only 15 relief appearances this season at the MLB level and posted a 4.58 ERA and 16:8 K:BB across 19.2 innings.

Mets' John Curtiss: Recalled, goes on 60-day IL
The Mets recalled Curtiss from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a loose body in his right elbow, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The transaction is a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot for Sam Coonrod, who has been activated from the 60-day IL following a five-month absence to heal a high-grade lat strain. Curtiss is presumably done for the season.

Mets' John Curtiss: Sent packing to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Curtiss to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, aa reports.
Curtiss was recalled earlier in the week and made a couple appearances out of the Mets' bullpen during his latest stint with the big club.

Starter Tylor Megill and righty reliever Jimmy Yacabonis were added in a series of moves.

Mets' John Curtiss: Called up Tuesday
Curtiss was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander was sent to Syracuse in mid-June and will rejoin the big club after the Mets traded away Dominic Leone on Tuesday. Curtiss has a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 17.2 frames in the majors this year.

Mets' John Curtiss: Optioned to Triple-A
Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Cardinals.
Curtiss will head back to Syracuse after being called up June 10, appearing in two games, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings during his latest stint with New York. The 31-year-old has now produced a 4.08 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 11 punchouts over 17.2 frames in 13 appearances with the Mets in 2023. Replacing Curtiss on the active roster is Grant Hartwig, a right-handed reliever who had his contract selected from Triple-A on Monday.

Mets' John Curtiss: Joins active roster
Curtiss was recalled by the Mets on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Curtiss is on his third big-league stint of the season. He's struggled to a 4.85 ERA in 13 innings of relief at the highest level this year, striking out just 13.2 percent of opposing batters, and his 6.57 ERA in 13.1 Triple-A frames hardly inspires confidence. Tommy Hunter was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Mets' John Curtiss: Optioned to Triple-A
Curtiss was optioned Thursday to Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Curtiss had been knocked around in his last two outings while watching his season ERA rise to 4.85. The 30-year-old reliever should get another shot with the Mets fairly soon.

Mets' John Curtiss: Recalled from Triple-A
The Mets recalled Curtiss from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Curtiss has a 4.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and seven strikeouts in 10.1 innings through nine big-league appearances this season. He struck out four over two scoreless innings in his lone appearance at Triple-A. Look for him to work in lower-leverage relief situations.

Mets' John Curtiss: Sent down to Triple-A
Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
It's a bit of a surprise that it's Curtiss getting the demotion to make room for Joey Lucchesi, but the Mets will keep arms like Edwin Uceta and Jeff Brigham on the roster as multi-inning options. Curtiss figures to be back in the majors before too long.

Mets' John Curtiss: Mops up Friday's rout
Curtiss struck out one in a perfect ninth inning during Friday's 17-6 win over the A's.
The leverage was about as low as it gets, but Curtiss still did his job effectively. The 30-year-old right-hander has two holds in six appearances to begin the season along with a 1.23 ERA and 6:2 K:BB through 7.1 innings, but despite numerous injuries in the Mets' bullpen, he seems unlikely to see consistent late-inning work.

Mets' John Curtiss: Building velocity in side sessions
Curtiss (elbow) completed a "relatively heavy winter throwing progression" before reporting to spring training and has built his fastball velocity back up to the mid-90s during side sessions, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Though Curtiss is 17 months removed from Tommy John surgery and reported to camp seemingly without any restrictions, the Mets' plan for the early stages of the spring is to have him sharpen his command in bullpen sessions before clearing him for his Grapefruit League debut. When he was last healthy during the 2021 campaign, Curtiss proved to be a reliable setup option between stops with Miami and Milwaukee, as he accrued a 3.45 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB in 44.1 innings. After joining the Mets last April on a one-year, $770,000 contract, Curtiss showed enough progress in his rehab for the team to keep him on the 40-man roster by exercising his $775,000 team option for 2023. He'll still have to fight for a spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, but barring any setbacks in his return from surgery, Curtiss looks to have an inside path to a 26-man roster spot.

Mets' John Curtiss: Option picked up
Curtiss (elbow) had his $775,000 team option for 2023 exercised by the Mets on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The 28-year-old didn't pitch in 2022 while he recovered from Tommy John surgery, and the Mets will bring him back to potentially make his team debut next year. Curtiss underwent the procedure in September 2021, so he could be fully healthy for the start of spring training.

Mets' John Curtiss: Signs with Mets
The Mets signed Curtiss (elbow) to a one-year contract Wednesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Curtiss will miss the entire 2022 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September, but his contract with the Mets contains a team option for the 2023 campaign. He made 41 appearances (three starts) with the Marlins and Brewers last year prior to undergoing his procedure, and he recorded a 3.45 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 44.1 innings. The Mets will monitor his rehab over the months to come before deciding whether to exercise his option early next offseason.

John Curtiss: Non-tendered by Brewers
Curtiss (elbow) was non-tendered by the Brewers on Friday.
Curtis was acquired by Milwaukee at the trade deadline in July, but he pitched in only six games before suffering a UCL injury and undergoing Tommy John surgery. He's set to miss the entirety of 2022, so the team decided not to tender him a contract.

Brewers' John Curtiss: Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Curtiss underwent Tommy John surgery last week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Curtiss was diagnosed with a torn UCL in mid-August, so it's no surprise to see him undergo the surgery. Recovery from the procedure is expected to keep him out until the start of the 2023 season.
