  • Mets designate Omar Narváez for assignment
    Mets designated C Omar Narváez for assignment.

    Advice: Narváez’s days on the Mets roster were likely numbered already with Francisco Alvarez on a rehab assignment. Instead the Mets are swapping him out for the newly acquired Luis Torrens. He batted just .154 in 28 games this season for the Mets. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:00 am

  • Joins Mets
    The Mets acquired Torrens from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and purchased his contract from Triple-A Syracuse, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: The Mets have designated Omar Narvaez for assignment and will replace him with Torrens. The 28-year-old has hit .279/.339/.468 with five home runs this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Torrens should back up Tomas Nido for the time being but might only be around until Francisco Alvarez (thumb) returns. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:59 am

  • Designated for assignment
    The Mets designated Narvaez for assignment on Friday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

    Advice: Narvaez's two years in New York have been a disaster, as he posted a .580 OPS over 49 games in 2023 and has a .154/.191/.185 slash line in 28 games this year. Even with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) not yet back from the injured list, the Mets will look elsewhere for catching depth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:51 am

  • Lifts 12th homer Thursday
    Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in an extra-innings loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Langeliers' 406-foot shot to left-center field in the third inning erased a 3-2 deficit as he left the yard for the second time in the last four games. The 26-year-old backstop's propensity for hard contact continues to serve fantasy managers well and make up for some of his other offensive deficiencies, and Langeliers carries a .768 OPS thanks to his 22 extra-base hits (eight doubles, two triples, 12 home runs).

  • Lifts homer in loss
    Melendez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Melendez's fourth-inning blast gave the Royals a 4-0 lead before things turned south for them in the middle innings. May has been a rough month for Melendez, who has gone 12-for-69 (.174) with six extra-base hits over 23 contests in the month. His previous homer was April 19, and he now has five long balls on the year to go with 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, two stolen bases and a poor .176/.238/.346 slash line through 50 games. Melendez is in a strong-side platoon role, though Garrett Hampson has started to get more looks versus righties amid Melendez's lengthy slump. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:48 pm
     
  • Langeliers blasts 12th home run Thursday
    Shea Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run against the Rays on Thursday.



    Advice: Langeliers isn’t going to provide a good average as he’s now hitting .211 on the season, but he has decent power for a catcher. The home run was his 12th of the season and he now has 29 RBI.

  • Not starting Thursday
    Diaz isn't in the Astros' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Diaz has slashed just .207/.221/.268 since the beginning of May, and he'll now sit down for the final game of Houston's series in Seattle. Victor Caratini will take over behind the plate and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:31 am

  • Records fourth steal
    Contreras went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Contreras has been held hitless just five times over 26 games in May, going 31-for-104 (.298) for the month. The catcher is up to a .323/.394/.509 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple in 55 contests, so this month has actually been a bit of a cooling off compared to how he started the season. He's been able to have an everyday role between catcher and designated hitter as one of the best overall batters in baseball this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:06 pm
     
  • Pops fifth homer
    Lee went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Lee took Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning, but the White Sox couldn't build off his big hit. The catcher opened May going 12-for-29 over eight games, then cooled off by going 7-for-36 (.194) over his last 12 contests. He's at a .274/.309/.427 slash line with five homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases and three doubles over 123 plate appearances on the year. Lee still has an edge for playing time over the light-hitting Martin Maldonado. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:30 pm
