New York Mets Roster Reshuffle: Acquisitions, Promotions and Shakes Revealed

The New York Mets made numerous roster changes, including selecting Christian Scott and Brett Baty to Triple-A, designating Omar Narváez for assignment, and recalling Dedniel Núñez and selecting the contract of Jose Iglesias.

By the numbers

• Christian Scott had an ERA of 3.90 with 25 strikeouts and six walks in five starts.
• Brett Baty struggled, hitting .225/.304/.325 with four runs scored in 49 games.

Yes but

While Scott’s demotion was aimed at managing workload targets, Baty’s was due to poor performance.

Game status

• The Mets acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the Yankees and designated Omar Narváez for assignment.
• Jose Iglesias has been elevated to provide depth and is expected to support Jeff McNeil at No. 2 and provide defense at No. 3.
• Dedniel Núñez was called up due to an injury in the bullpen and has been impressive with a 3.24 ERA in 8 1/3 innings.

What’s next

Iglesias will have the next two months to prove his worth in the major leagues, potentially drawing interest from contenders at the trade deadline.

Bottom line

The Mets’ lineup shake-up is intended to address performance and depth issues, setting the stage for potential changes and improvements in the coming months.
