Almonte was designated for assignment by the Mets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The Mets designated Almonte for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte was selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and went 1-for-11 during his brief stint in the majors. He's been solid in the minors with an .895 OPS through 118 plate appearance and could be claimed by another team in search of outfield depth.

The Mets selected Almonte's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

While he won't be included in the Mets' lineup Monday against Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly, the switch-hitting Almonte could emerge as a short-side platoon player for the Mets. With Starling Marte (groin) going on the injured list in a corresponding move, the Mets are left with three other outfielders on the active roster (Brandon Nimmo, DJ Stewart and Rafael Ortega) that are all left-handed hitters. Almonte, who last saw action in the big leagues with the Red Sox in 2022, was hitting .228 with 11 home runs over 118 plate appearances at Syracuse prior to his call-up.

Almonte (calf) was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Mets on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Almonte was removed from the Mets' March 9 game with left calf soreness, and he's not expected to return to the field anytime soon. He'll get a chance to play in the International League when he's ready to return.

Almonte (calf) is not close to returning, Michael Mayer of Metsmerized reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets initially said when Almonte was removed from a game last Thursday with left calf soreness that it was precautionary, but it appears the injury is worse than expected. Almonte wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster, anyway, and it sounds like he might get a late start at Triple-A Syracuse.
