Eric Wagaman has earned a spot on the Mets' active roster after a remarkable .372/.462/.581 slash line in 13 games for Syracuse. This performance comes after the Mets claimed him last month. His recent offensive outburst contrasts with his previous minor league and major league statistics.
The Mets also welcomed back left-handed pitcher A.J. Minter, who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Minter, who signed a two-year deal, had his previous season cut short by injury. Infielder/outfielder Jared Young was also activated from the 10-day injured list.
To accommodate these returns, outfielder Tyrone Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip flexor strain. Additionally, right-hander Jonathan Pintaro and outfielder Nick Morabito were optioned. The team also transferred Luis Robert Jr. to the 60-day injured list.
