Evans Sent Replacement

[G-Fafif]

With Flores out, Rosario healing and Cabrera in for an MRI, the Mets are calling for Phillip Evans, minor league infielder, to join them for some major league service time.

[G-Fafif]

Matz to the 60-day DL, in case you weren't sure of his whereabouts, to make room for Evans, who plays third, short, second and left base, stop, base and field, respectively.

[G-Fafif]

The young man (his 25th birthday is Sunday) will wear No. 72 out of a lifelong allegiance to Carlos Torres's final months as a Met.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Any relation to Nick Evans? Or Dwight Evans?

Or Dale Evans? Or Maurice Evans? Or Linda Evans?

Didn't know Asdrubal went down.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Phillip Evans tore up spring training for a coupla weeks IIRC. Short dude. And just because, we should also call up the guy who caught the bat with one hand like nothing.

He experienced "tightness". Says it's not serious, but we've heard THAT before.

Docs have speculated that the injury has something to do with "wearing a Met uniform".

Darrell Evans is like, hey, he's not related to me, either!

Except for that part about the "division clincher."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You can't get em all right, what would be the fun in predicting?

5' 10" / 223(!!)

What's with the "!!" ? You got a problem with that height/weight?
I'M that height/weight, too, ya stinkin bastid. Ok, wait... now that i think about it, that's pretty fat for a ballplayer. Not "Dom Smith" fat, but, you know... fat.

You ain't a 24 y/o professional athlete(!!)

Alex Anthony and scoreboard went with Phil Evans upon his debut. Press notes have switched to Phil. Looks like the birthday boy prefers to face MLB pitching without his lip.
