The Mets are promoting pitching prospect Gary Gill Hill from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse, the team announced on Sunday.
Gill Hill joined the Mets organization as part of the trade that sent Freddy Peralta to the Tampa Bay Rays at this year's trade deadline and had pitched well with the Rumble Ponies. In five starts, the right-hander went 2-0 with a 3.76 ERA (1.22 WHIP) and struck out 28 batters over 26.1 innings.
Overall, the 21-year-old has a 4.34 ERA in 25 starts between High-A, where he began the season, and Double-A.
New York's No. 19 overall prospect, according to SNY, Gill Hill's last start in Binghamton came on Sept. 1, which puts him on schedule to make his debut for Syracuse soon.
The promotion comes after the Mets recalled Jonah Tong from Triple-A to the big leagues, leaving a spot open in the starting rotation.

After four months in hospital, Saffron Cresswell was dreading coming home.
She knew the field would be empty.
Before she had the fall that would leave her paralysed at the age of 23, she had 25 horses that she trained and rode in a business she had been running since she was 15 and was a talented eventer on a pathway towards the Olympics.
Eight years earlier her parents had sold their house to buy a yard to support her career, with the family living in two tiny touring caravans for six years before they converted part of a barn into a home.
For years, Cresswell had been up at 5am, riding four ponies before school, then more afterwards - if she even went in. She puts her school attendance at "68% or something ridiculous" because she was "so busy riding".

Billy Amick may not be among the most highly-regarded prospects the Mets acquired in their trade deadline sell-off, but he's certainly already making a name for himself in the organization.
The power-hitting corner infield prospect has been on an absolute tear with Binghamton since coming over from the Twins as part of the A.J. Minter deal.
Amick launched a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth on Sunday afternoon, helping the Rumble Ponies to a weekend series sweep and their seventh consecutive victory.
The youngster also drew a walk and stole his third base of the season.
Amick has now homered five times over his first seven games with the team, driving in 13 runs and racking up an impressive 1.387 OPS over that span.
