  • Reds option LHP Alex Young to Triple-A
    Reds optioned LHP Alex Young to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Young gets the boot from the roster to make room for Justin Wilson with Wilson activated off the injured list Sunday. Young will likely be back in a non-relevant role for fantasy players at some point this summer. Rotoworld Today, 9:16 am
     
  • Returns to Triple-A
    Walker was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

    Advice: The left-hander has been up with the Mets for the past couple weeks but will head to the minors after he surrendered four runs over 2.1 frames Saturday versus the Diamondbacks. Walker had pitched well prior to that outing with a 2.70 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 10 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 8:13 am
     
  • Returns from injured list
    The Mets reinstated Smith (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old has been sidelined more than a month with shoulder inflammation but is ready to rejoin the Mets after a four-appearance rehab assignment. Smith's return will provide a boost to New York's high-leverage unit, which is missing Edwin Diaz due to a shoulder injury. Rotowire.com Today, 8:06 am
     
  • Set for rehab assignment
    Poche (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Poche's last documented activity was May 22, when he threw a 15-pitch bullpen session. He'll likely only need a couple of appearances in Durham before being activated. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 pm
     
  • Seeking second opinion
    Middleton (forearm) will get a second opinion from a specialist Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Middleton underwent an MRI on Friday after being checked out by team doctors and it appears he may be dealing with a significant injury to his throwing arm. Season-ending surgery has yet to be ruled out, though even if he avoids surgery, Middleton could have to start over after being close to returning from the 15-day IL just days before reporting the injury. Regardless, there should be more clarity regarding Middleton's status in the coming days. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:24 pm
     
  • Mets recall Josh Walker hours after demotion
    Mets recalled LHP Josh Walker from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: We wrote three hours ago that Walker would be back, but we didn’t think it’d be on the same day. Walker gets a reprieve because of Edwin Díaz’s shoulder impingement. He’s allowed two runs in 8 2/3 innings for the Mets this season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:03 pm
     
  • Back in big leagues
    The Mets recalled Walker from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Walker was optioned to Syracuse just four hours earlier, but he 's back with the big club to replace the injured Edwin Diaz (shoulder) in the bullpen. The southpaw has allowed just two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings with the Mets this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:02 pm
     
  • Mets send down reliever Josh Walker
    Mets optioned LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Walker’s two stints with the Mets this season have produced a 2.08 ERA in 8 2/3 innings. He’ll be back. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:52 am
     
  • Returns to minors
    The Mets optioned Walker to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: A spot on the active roster was required for Wednesday's starting pitcher, David Peterson, and Walker was the casualty. The left-handed reliever has pitched well during his time in the majors this season -- allowing just two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings -- so it would appear to be a case of him having minor-league options left working against him.
