Hughes announced his retirement Sunday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes spent 10 seasons in the majors as a reliever with the Pirates, Brewers, Reds, Phillies and Mets. While the 35-year-old's results declined over the past two seasons, he finishes his career with 12 saves and a 2.96 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 542 relief appearances.

Hughes (0-1) gave up two runs on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning in a loss to the Marlins in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader. He struck out none.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes relieved Seth Lugo to start the fourth inning, but a two-run double by Brian Anderson was enough to leave Hughes with the loss. The 35-year-old righty has a 3.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and eight strikeouts through 10.2 innings this season. He's recorded two holds.

Hughes was activated off the injured list Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander missed summer camp and the start of the season after testing positive for COVID-19, but he's now ready to make his 2020 debut. Hughes had a 4.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 54:27 K:BB over 71.1 innings last season and should fill a middle-relief role for the Mets.

Hughes faced hitters for the second consecutive day Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes said Wednesday that he feels as though he's back to full strength after battling COVID-19 during camp, and his throwing schedule echoes that claim. If he feels good following his second consecutive throwing session Saturday, the right-hander could be activated and make his season debut in the coming days.

Hughes (undisclosed) said Wednesday that he feels like he's back to full strength after he was placed on the injured list in mid-July due to a positive COVID-19 test, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Rosenthal, Hughes believes he first picked up the coronavirus while traveling in late June, but the reliever indicated he initially tested negative and was asymptomatic for a week and a half before a positive test result emerged. Hughes' recovery from the illness prevented him from cracking the Opening Day roster, but he's since been cleared for workouts at the team's alternate training site and has thrown in multiple simulated games. He could be activated ahead of this weekend's series in Atlanta.

Hughes (undisclosed) was scheduled to throw live batting practice Sunday and could be less than a week away from activation off the injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets' bullpen had to carry a heavy load through the first series of the season against Atlanta, so reinforcements would definitely be welcome. Hughes posted a 4.04 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 71.1 innings for the Reds and Phillies last season, albeit with a mediocre 54:27 K:BB.

Hughes (undisclosed) rejoined the Mets on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes missed all of camp for an undisclosed reason and remains on the 10-day injured list, but he appears to be on the right track toward returning. The right-hander should require some time to ramp up his workload, and it's unclear when he'll be ready to be activated.

Hughes was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday for an undisclosed reason, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes signed a major-league deal with the Mets in late June, but he's yet to report to camp and will now land on the injured list for an undisclosed reason. If his absence is related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the team wouldn't legally be allowed to say so. Given the timing of the move, Hughes will miss the start of the regular season, but it's unclear exactly how long he'll be sidelined.

Hughes has yet to join his new Mets teammates, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mets manager Luis Rojas didn't provide a reason for Hughes' absence, but the reliever had only just signed his contract with the Mets last Tuesday, so it's possible that his absence has nothing to do with COVID-19. Whatever the reason, the righty won't have much time to get in game shape before Opening Day, which is less than three weeks away.

Hughes signed a major-league deal with the Mets on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The soon-to-be 35-year-old signed a minors deal with the Astros in February, but he was released shortly after spring training was suspended a month later. Hughes split 2019 between Cincinnati and Philadelphia and had a 4.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 54:27 K:BB across 71.1 frames while recording seven holds. He figures to work in middle relief for the Mets.
