[Edgy MD]

Well, I lose.

[G-Fafif]

Edwin Diaz will go on the bereavement list (grandfather passed away). Corresponding move presumably to be announced.

[Edgy MD]

You're thread-fightin'!

[G-Fafif]

David Peterson slides over from the taxi squad to fill Diaz's spot if not his role.

[G-Fafif]

Taijuan Walker goes on the DL with right shoulder bursitis.



Edwin Diaz returns from the BL; David Peterson sticks around.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo activated. Plummer optioned. 29th man TK for second game (to give SFG the chance to get their pokey addition to New York).

[G-Fafif]

Yoan Lopez is Man 29, listed as No. 44.

[G-Fafif]

Mark Canha has been activated.



Matt Reynolds has been DFA'd.



Yoan Lopez presumably returned to minors (no longer listed on roster).

[G-Fafif]

Peterson optioned for bullpen game purposes. Adonis Medina No. 68) up.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm guessing Peterson will be back as Walker's piggyback guy. They have an off-day on Thursday, so they can skip the 5th guy in the rotation next time around.

[G-Fafif]

Mr. Strikeout, Adonis Medina (3 batters faced, all of them K victims), was optioned prior to Sunday's game in favor of last week's 29th fellow, Yoan Lopez.

[Edgy MD]

We're maybe going to have to be forced to figure out who has the Mets pitching record for consecutive strikeouts to start a Mets career.

[G-Fafif]

Hero of the Battle of St. Louis Yoan Lopez is optioned to clear space for Taijuan Walker.

[G-Fafif]

Sean Reid-Foley to the IL; Yoan Lopez returns for this last night of the 28-man roster.

[G-Fafif]

Robinson Cano has been designated for assignment. Yoan Lopez has been optioned to Syracuse. The active roster is down to the regulation limit of 26.

[Frayed Knot]

=G-Fafif post_id=91036 time=1651504015 user_id=55] The active roster is down to the regulation limit of 26.

[G-Fafif]

May to the IL; Medina returns; Peterson is the 27th man.

[G-Fafif]

The roster has reverted to 26, sans Peterson.

[G-Fafif]

From the Mets:



RHP Stephen Nogosek [nuh-GOH-sick] has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse and will be active today. He will wear #85.



RHP Adonis Medina was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse yesterday. He will serve as the 27th man for Game 2 today.



INF Robinson Canó has been released from the roster.

[MFS62]

The Mets have acquired pitcher Locke St.John from the Cubs and placed Jacob DeGrom on the 60 day IL to make room on the roster.

If you'd said something in January like "by mid-May, they'll be replacing deGrom on the roster with a castoff glorified LOOGY who nobody's ever heard of" I'd expect us to be about fifteen games out of first at that point.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I Liked Locke St. John when he impregnated the oldest daughter on Downton Abbey

[Edgy MD]

And I liked the metaphysical verse he contributed to my college literary journal.

[G-Fafif]

Nogosek down to Syracuse (joining recent 27th fella Adonis Medina), Jake Reed up.

[MFS62]

Nogosek down to Syracuse (joining recent 27th fella Adonis Medina), Jake Reed up.

Seems like I've been noticing Nogosek's name for a long time. When the Mets got him I thought he was a mid- thirtyish "grizzled veteran".

He's much younger than I had thought.

Almost worthy of the "baseball stuff I didn't know" thread.



Later

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nogo is the last survivor of the Addison Reed Trade

[G-Fafif]

McCann to the IL. Mazeika up (will wear No. 4).

[G-Fafif]

From the Mets:



RHP Tylor Megill has been placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to May 12, with right biceps inflammation. He will undergo an MRI today.

 

RHP Colin Holderman has been selected from Triple-A…He will wear #35.

 

RHP Trevor May has been transferred to the 60-Day IL.
