Plawecki was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.
At one point a couple years ago, Plawecki was seen as a quality catching prospect with an above average hit tool. Now, after 401 big league plate appearances, he sports just a .210/.288/.283 slash line with four home runs. The Mets have obviously soured on him, but his standing on the 40-man roster made him an obvious September call-up candidate to provide catching depth down the stretch.
