  • Mets release Tomás Nido
    Mets released C Tomás Nido.

    Advice: Nido was designated for assignment last week and went through waivers unclaimed, so the Mets officially released him, He’s now free to sign for another team, and while a few clubs like the Rockies and Phillies have recently suffered injuries at catcher, it’s unclear if there will be much interest in a 30-year-old who is a career .214/.251/.313 hitter at the MLB level.

  • Cut loose by Mets
    The Mets released Nido on Monday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Nido cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week and is now free to sign with another organization. The veteran catcher has a career .564 OPS over parts of eight major-league seasons but is viewed as a strong defender, so he could draw interest as a backup catcher elsewhere.

    Jeffers is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: Jeffers will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 in the team's 6-2 win over Oakland in Game 1. Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:56 pm
     
  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Garver had started each of the past five games at either designated hitter or catcher, going just 2-for-18 but drawing seven walks over that stretch. The 33-year-old's .646 OPS still represents a more than 200-point downturn from his 2023 mark with the Rangers (.870), but Garver still looks like he'll play frequently against left-handed pitching and fairly regularly against right-handed pitching.

  • Retreating to bench role
    Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Caratini had started behind the plate each of the past five games, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale now that top backstop Yainer Diaz has been cleared to resume catching duties. Diaz had missed three straight games with a sore index finger before returning to the lineup Friday and Saturday as the Astros' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:19 am
