Mets recalled OF Fernando Martinez from Triple-A Buffalo.
F-Mart will provide outfield depth for the Mets while Willie Harris takes care of his wife, who went into labor a month prematurely on Thursday night. The 22-year-old probably won't be in the major leagues long.

Fernando Martinez had to leave Triple-A Buffalo's game in the bottom of the fourth inning Thursday with right knee soreness.
Here we go again. F-Mart has had an arthritic right knee ever since undergoing surgery on it back in 2009, and it's expected to be something the 22-year-old will have to battle for the rest of his career. He also spent time on the minor league DL earlier this season with a hamstring issue. It's not clear at this time how long he might be sidelined.
