NEW YORK (AP) — The disappointing New York Mets shook up their roster a bit Friday, sending third baseman Brett Baty and rookie pitcher Christian Scott to the minors in a series of moves that also included backup catcher Omar Narváez being designated for assignment. The team acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the crosstown New York Yankees for cash and called him up to the majors. Torrens had been playing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees’ farm system. The Mets also selected veteran José Iglesias from Triple-A Syracuse, adding the backup middle infielder they’d gone without on the bench since cutting Joey Wendle on May 15. Right-hander Dedniel Núñez was recalled from Syracuse to provide needed depth in a tattered bullpen. The 34-year-old Iglesias immediately received a start Friday night, giving second baseman Jeff McNeil a rest against Arizona left-hander Jordan Montgomery. It was the first big league game for Iglesias since 2022 with Colorado. He was an All-Star in 2015 with Detroit. |
