Mets vice president of player development Paul DePodesta wrote in an email to ESPN the roster need for other positions if what's keeping infield prospect Wilmer Flores at Triple-A Las Vegas. Flores is batting .322 with a .526 slugging percentage and .883 OPS in 105 games for Las Vegas.
"He hasn't come up because the major-league infield is full," DePodesta wrote. "[David] Wright and [Daniel] Murph[y] have been healthy until last night, and we have three other guys who could use ABs at first base."
