Mike Puma is reporting that the New York Mets have claimed left hander Stephen Tarpley off of Waivers from the Miami Marlins.

Tarpley pitched in 9 innings during the shortened 2020 campaign and put up a 3.00 ERA while striking out 13 but also walking six.

Tarpley is able to hit 95 MPH with his fastball but has a four-pitch repertoire that includes a good curveball, solid change-up, as well as a slider he mixes in occasionally.
