  • Mets waive catcher Joe Hudson
    Mets designated C Joe Hudson for assignment

    Advice: With Luis Torrens coming off the paternity list, the Mets will move on from Hudson. The 33-year-old caught half an inning over the weekend, which was his first MLB action in four years. Rotoworld Monday, 9:43 am
     
  • Cast off 40-man roster
    The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Monday.

    Advice: As expected, Hudson's stay with the Mets lasted only through the weekend while No. 2 catcher Luis Torrens (personal) was away from the team while on the paternity list. Torrens has since linked back up with the team and will be available Tuesday for the start of the two-game series against the Yankees, leaving no need for the Mets to carry Hudson as a third catcher.

  • Hits long ball Saturday
    O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Advice: O'Hoppe tagged Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow for a solo shot in the seventh inning. The long ball pushed the backstop up to 10 homers through 246 plate appearances on the season after he went deep 14 times across 199 plate appearances as a rookie last year. Among MLB catchers, O'Hoppe ranks sixth in home runs and is tied for eighth with 32 RBI. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:25 am
     
  • Knocks homer Saturday
    Higashioka went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Brewers.

    Advice: Higashioka delivered what turned out to be a key long ball in the seventh inning, belting a two-run blast to left field. It was the catcher's fifth homer through 12 games in June after he went deep just once over 17 contests prior to the start of the month. The hot stretch has helped Higashioka earn more playing time, and he's slated to take over primary catching duties for San Diego for at least 10 days due to Luis Campusano (thumb) landing on the injured list Saturday.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Barnhart is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Barnhart came in for Gabriel Moreno (thumb) in the bottom of the sixth inning in Friday's contest. Barnhart started at catcher Saturday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a 12-1 loss, and he will serve as Arizona's primary catcher with Moreno on the injured list. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate Sunday and bat ninth against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:01 am
