The Mets are set to make a number of call ups today, and most notable of those is Philip Humber, the Mets 2004 first round draft pick.

Dave Williams was also recalled and will start tonight. Brian Bannister, Lastings Milledge, Ricky Ledee, and Kelly Stinnett were called up as well.

Mike Pelfrey is headed to St.
Lucie where he will be treated for a minor back problem.

Brian Bannister was promoted and will get the start tonight. In his last minor league start, he settled in after
allowing a solo HR in the first inning. He pitched five more scoreless innings for his second
win in a row.  He finished with five
strikeouts and one walk.

Lastings Milledge was sent down to make room for Bannister but is likely to return quickly, as rosters expand on September 1st to allow for 40 players.

Ramon Castro had surgery on his knee and was placed on the 60 day DL. Kelly Stinnett was picked up by the Mets after being released by the Yankees last month as insurance for Mike DiFelice as a third catcher option.
