Givens has been away from the team for the past few weeks. He has really struggled since being traded to the Mets this season, posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts over 20.2 innings of work. In 19 appearances, he's made one start and holds a 1-1 record. 

While on the Chicago Cubs this season, the thirty-two-year-old registered a very strong 2.66 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, with 51 strikeouts across 40.2 innings. He made 40 relief appearances, converted two saves, and held a 6-2 record. 

The Mets acquired Mychal Givens from the Cubs at the trade deadline in exchange for minor league pitcher Saul Gonzalez.
