Familia was added to the Athletics' active roster and will act as the team's closer if a save situation arises Sunday against the Giants, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Familia saved 17 games in 21 chances with the Mets earlier this season and gives the Athletics another high-quality option at the back of the bullpen, but he's not expected to usurp incumbent Blake Treinen of his title as Oakland's closer. The 28-year-old's appointment to the ninth-inning role Sunday just looks to be a temporary one after Treinen worked two innings and tossed 41 pitches in Saturday's loss. Treinen suffered his fourth blown save of the season in the appearance, but he's still been one of the top end gamers in the sport this season with a 1.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 64:18 K:BB in 50 innings. Familia will see his fantasy value take a major hit while he primarily serves as the main setup option during his time in Oakland.

Familia was traded to the Athletics on Saturday after the team reached an agreement with the Mets in exchange for two minor-league players and international signing money, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The two teams were on the cusp of the trade over the last couple days, as the Mets had Familia unavailable for Saturday's game against the Yankees. Blake Treinen -- who is 24-of-27 in save opportunities with a 0.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP -- will continue to act as the Athletics closer, but Familia should slide into setup role with his new team.

Manager Mickey Callaway said Familia is not available out of the bullpen for Saturday's game, though he hasn't be traded just yet, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's expected that Familia will be dealt to Oakland within the next couple days so the closer will remain in limbo for the time being. Don't expect to see him pitch again for the Mets unless the deal falls through. Callaway added that Robert Gsellman is the "leading candidate" to man the ninth-inning moving forward, but he's unlikely to be available Saturday after pitching two innings during Friday's victory.

Familia is expected to be dealt to the Athletics within the next few days, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Mets won't announce the trade Friday night, the deal could be finalized as soon as Saturday. The Athletics already have a dominant closer in Blake Treinen, but they'll look to bolster their bullpen as Familia has put up solid numbers in 2018. The 28-year-old has collected 17 saves and sits with a 2.88 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 43 strikeouts across 40.2 innings. More details on the trade will likely emerge in the near future.

Familia pitched a perfect ninth inning Wednesday against the Blue Jays to secure his 16th save of the season.
EDGE Analysis
It was his first save without at least one strikeout in over two months, but it still counts just the same. The 28-year-old pitched to an unsightly 8.22 ERA in eight appearances in June, but he seems to be settling down a bit of late; he hasn't allowed a run in six of his last seven outings to bring his ERA to 3.28 on the year.

Familia fired a perfect ninth inning Sunday, striking out two and needing only 12 pitches to finish off Miami in a 5-2 win.
EDGE Analysis
Familia's ERA has ballooned up to 3.38 from 2.08 at the end of May, mostly due to allowing four runs without recording an out in his last appearance. The right-hander hadn't recorded a save since May 28 and he has to be happy that June finally came to a close. Familia is now 15-for-19 in save chances and still holds a firm grasp on the job.

Familia (3-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk while failing to record an out against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Familia was tasked with protecting a two-run lead in the ninth, but gave up three straight singles followed by a walk before being relieved of his duties. It's now the fourth time in the last eight outings in which he's yielded at least one earned run, and the four-run implosion pushes his ERA up to a season-high 3.48.

Familia allowed one earned run on three hits and a walk Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Familia entered the game in the ninth inning with the Mets down by one and allowed three straight hits to surrender the earned run. It was his first appearance since returning from the disabled list (shoulder), so there is no reason to panic over his stumble in this outing. He is expected to immediately return to the closer role.

The Mets activated Familia (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Familia missed the minimum amount of time with a sore shoulder and didn't even require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the Mets. That suggests the injury isn't much of a concern for Familia, who should immediately reclaim his perch at the back of the New York bullpen. Anthony Swarzak collected the lone save chance that was available while Familia was sidelined.

The Mets plan to activate Familia (shoulder) off the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Familia rejoined the team in Arizona prior to Saturday's game, but isn't eligible to return from the disabled list until Sunday. The 28-year-old had a 2.48 ERA and 1.24 WHIP and was 14-for-18 in save opportunities prior to landing on the disabled list with shoulder soreness.
