The New York Mets announced Friday that they have re-signed right-hander Robert Stock to a one-year contract.
Stock, who turns 37 this month, spent the 2026 season with the last-place Mets. He made seven starts and one relief appearance, finishing with a 1-3 record and a 5.93 ERA over 30 1/3 innings.
His last outing before an injury was Aug. 31 against Tampa Bay. In that game, he threw 5 1/3 shutout innings in a 3-2 win. That victory marked his first major league win since 2019 with San Diego.
Stock was placed on the 15-day injured list Sept. 16, with the date retroactive to Sept. 13, due to finger numbness. He did not pitch for the remainder of the season. The player described the condition as a byproduct of thoracic outlet syndrome surgery performed in March. He noted that he usually experienced numbness after throwing about 60 or 70 pitches in a game and said he was on medication for the issue.
Stock has pitched for eight major league organizations, as well as teams in South Korea, Mexico, and the independent Long Island Ducks. His career record stands at 3-7 with a 5.20 ERA in 65 major league games. Those games include 10 starts for the Padres, Red Sox, Cubs, and Mets.
In separate news, the Mets said Thursday they will wear a memorial patch on their uniforms next season to honor Jerry Koosman. The two-time All-Star and member of the 1969 championship team died Sunday at age 83.
