Active Roster Moves 2021

[G-Fafif]

Trevor Williams is today's 27th man and Game Two starter.



Since yesterday's regularly scheduled night game never got underway, its 27th man, Geoff Hartlieb, seems to have never been fully activated. You can always try to unplug him and plug him back in to see if he still works.

[G-Fafif]

RHP Drew Smith has been placed on the 10-Day IL with right shoulder inflammation.



OF Albert Almora Jr. has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.



RHP Geoff Hartlieb has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #40.



RHP Jake Reed has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #52.

The Mets have recalled catcher Chance Sisco from Syracuse because McCann has a bad back. No official word whether McCann has formally been placed on the IL.

That's too bad, cuz that Sisco kid was a friend of mine.

It had been WAY too long since I'd heard this song; thanks FK!

[bmfc1]

Two, just two, players may be added to the roster today in the September roster expansion. I can't imagine that they need any more pitchers other than another LHP. I guess the other spot goes to McCann if he's ready so they can "carry" three catchers. Peraza is rehabbing in Syracuse. Drury could be another candidate.

UPDATE: WRONG!!!

Lee optioned; Y. Diaz remains.

[bmfc1]

[bLOCKQUOTE]Why exactly did the Mets call up prospect Khalil Lee for a single day when the team didn't even have a game?

The reasoning went something like this: Due to an agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association, teams must expand their rosters to the maximum of 28 players on Sept. 1. Adding players at that time is no longer optional.

The Mets intended to use one of their extra spots on outfielder Albert Almora Jr. and the other on reliever Yennsy Díaz, who had been effective for them during previous callups. But because they optioned Díaz to Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 23, he wasn't eligible for another call until Sept. 2. The Mets had to add someone in the interim.

Their choices were either to recall reliever Geoff Hartlieb, whom they would have then demoted and had unavailable for 10 days, or Lee. So team officials contacted the rookie outfielder, telling him they planned to call him up for a single day. Lee received a day of big league pay without ever leaving Syracuse.

Although Almora's presence makes Lee unlikely to see much of New York this month, he's put himself in the conversation for next year with a strong second half in the Minors, posting a .981 OPS for Syracuse in August.[/bLOCKQUOTE]

[G-Fafif]

For the record, Dom Smith went on the bereavement list prior to Friday night's game, Brad Hand was activated.

[bmfc1]

I thought that Hartlieb was DFA'd to make room for Hand.

Perhaps I was handed the wrong information.

That was for the 40. Hand still had to set foot on the 28.

[bmfc1]

Thank you.

James McCann returns as 29th man today (will catch night game).
