The Mets finalized their 26-man Opening Day roster on Thursday by placing reliever Sean Reid-Foley on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement.
That means the final two spots in manager Carlos Mendoza’s bullpen went to righthanders Michael Tonkin and Yohan Ramirez.
Tonkin, a former Long Island Duck, pitched for Atlanta in 2023 and went 7-3 with a 4.28 ERA and one save in 45 games,
Tonkin, 34, had last appeared in the majors in 2017.
Ramirez, 28, pitched for four teams from 2020-2023 and is a combined 6-4 with a 3.99 ERA and six saves in 102 games. He had a 1.80 ERA for the Mets in spring training.
The Mets open the season on Friday at Citi Field against Milwaukee after Thursday’s scheduled opener was rained out.
