Hildenberger down, Drew Smith activated from IL.

[G-Fafif]

DeGrom to IL, Reid-Foley returns.

[G-Fafif]

Almora to IL, Khalil Lee is up.

[Edgy MD]

Someday I'll beat you.

[G-Fafif]

Khalil Lee optioned, Jake Hager recalled.

[Edgy MD]

I recall Jake Hager.

[seawolf17]

Conforto and McNeil both to the IL, sez the internets.



I don't think there's room on the 40, so I'd guess we're going to lose someone to waivers, as Lee is the only non-pitcher/catcher left who's not already here.

[G-Fafif]

Johneshwy Fargas and Khalil Lee will replace IL-bound Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto.

[Edgy MD]

MRC is waiting on how the roster spot gets opened up. Early betting is on (1) a DFA for Tarpley, (2) a 60-Man IL assignment for Loogie, (3) a Zamora DFA.



Longshot money is starting to show interest in (1) a Drew Smith DFA, and (2) a trade of one of their four rostered catchers, possibly to the very same Braves team they will be playing this evening.

Wilfredo Tovar, who last played for the Mets on Closing Day 2014, will replace Kevin Pillar on the active roster. Tovar's only MLB experience since was with the Angels in 2019. Deivy Grullón DFA'd.

[MFS62]

No word yet on what roster move will be made to make room for him.

Later

[G-Fafif]

No Yennsy (he'll be on the taxi squad).



Taijuan Walker to the IL; Cameron Maybin up (and in left).

[G-Fafif]

INF Pete Alonso has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 19, with a right hand sprain.



RHP Tommy Hunter has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 19, with lower back pain.

INF Brandon Drury has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #35



RHP Sam McWilliams has been reinstated from the Minor League IL.



LHP Daniel Zamora has been designated for assignment.

Gottam

[ashie62]

Scorched earth.

[G-Fafif]

RHP Jordan Yamamoto has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.



LHP Stephen Tarpley has been reinstated from the Minor League IL.



INF Jake Hager has been designated for assignment.



C Deivy Grullón has been claimed by the Tampa Bay Rays.



LHP Daniel Zamora has been claimed by the Seattle Mariners.

[bmfc1]

They might lose Hager as well if/when Peraza goes on the DL in a day or two (of course Peraza will go on the IL).



Given that Hager also plays the OF why him over Tovar?

[G-Fafif]

DeGrom activated. Yamamoto IL.

[G-Fafif]

McKinney, who'll wear 60, is on the active roster. Fargas is on the IL.

[G-Fafif]

Thomas Szapucki has been activated as the 27th man for the second game of the doubleheader.

Thomas Szapucki has been activated as the 27th man for the second game of the doubleheader.

[Lefty Specialist]

I believe he gets a pro-rated portion on the major league minimum salary for one day's service time. So he's not going to buy a new Mercedes or anything.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I don't know where this 'one month for one day' thing comes from.

AFAIK, he gets credit for one day of ML service time, gets paid at the ML minimum wage rate for one day (1/182nd of a season) and gets his butt on the ML pension plan.

I seem to recall that if a player spent one day on a major league roster he got a minimum of one month's salary. But that was years ago when a teams were limited in how many times it could only bring up/ send down a player. And that was way before you could do that multiple times in one season. With changes to the option rules since then, and with this "27th man" stuff, I was curious how much, or if, the payment of a month's salary had changed. And that's why I asked the question.

The pro-rated solution seems right, because I couldn't dream of management wanting to pay a player a full month's salary if he is going to ride the bench for one day as the 27th man.

Thanks,

[G-Fafif]

Yennsy Diaz is optioned to Syracuse to make room for Taijuan Walker.



Thomas Szapucki did not stick around, either.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Alas, poor Yennsy.



Someone else may have to give way soon to Seth Lugo, or so I hear. Drew Smith, perhaps?
