Sadly: Luis Torrens was forced and sued over……..more

 

He is expected to return to the big leagues soon, as the stint in the minor leagues aligns with an upcoming stretch in which the Mets have extra days off due to their games in London and also helps keep Scott’s season-long innings total in check.”

 

Infielder José Iglesias and relief pitcher Dedniel Núñez are stepping in for Baty and Scott.

 

Here’s a summary of the Mets’ moves, per Torrens, 28, has played for Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre this season, hitting .279 (.807 OPS) alongside five home runs and 19 RBI in 30 games.

 

He’s played six major league seasons with the San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners and Chicago Cubs, hitting .227 (.643 OPS) with 19 home runs and 79 RBI in 269 games.

 

Torrens replaces Narvaez, a nine-year veteran who was hitting just .154 (.376 OPS) in 28 games.

 

The 24-year-old Baty jumped to the majors in 2022, but his bat hasn’t gotten going. He’s hit just .128 since May 6 alongside a .439 OPS. Baty, the No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft, is a .214 lifetime hitter over 168 Iglesias, who has spent 11 seasons on a big league diamond, replaces him. He’s hit well lifetime (.279) but hasn’t played in the bigs since 2022. Still, he’s shown some pop in the minors, hitting seven homers and posting a .751 OPS in 42 games for Triple-A Syracuse this year.Ultimately, the Mets needed to make some moves with the team floundering. They already made one Thursday by designating reliever Jorge Lopez for assignment after he threw his glove into the stands following an ejection during a 10-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now more moves have gone down as the Mets look to salvage a season that could very well be over by the dog days of summer at this rate.games.SNY:
