MLB Player News

Trevino isn't starting Saturday against the Orioles, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Trevino has alternated starts behind the dish recently and will take a seat after he went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two strikeouts Friday. Kyle Higashioka is starting at catcher and batting ninth.

Nido (hand) is starting Saturday against San Diego.

Nido was removed from Friday's matchup against the Padres due to a left hand contusion, but he said prior to Saturday's game that he's moved past the injury and isn't concerned that it'll be a long-term issue. The Mets acquired Michael Perez from the Pirates on Saturday to serve as additional depth behind the plate, but it seems like Nido will be available moving forward.

Delay isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

Delay hit his first major-league home run during Friday's loss to Miami but will retreat to the bench a day later. Tyler Heineman is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

Gomes isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Gomes is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game since Willson Contreras is starting behind the dish once again Saturday. With Contreras at catcher, Patrick Wisdom is serving as the designated hitter while David Bote enters the lineup at third base.

Diaz isn't starting Saturday against Milwaukee.

Diaz started behind the dish during Friday's extra-innings loss to the Brewers and went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI. Brian Serven will take over at catcher and bat ninth Saturday.

Haase isn't starting Saturday against Minnesota.

Haase is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after he went 0-for-3 with a run and two walks during the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Athletics. Tucker Barnhart will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Jansen isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Jansen had a monster performance during Friday's 28-5 win over the Red Sox, going 3-for-6 with two home runs, six RBI, four runs and a walk. However, he'll get a breather a day later since Alejandro Kirk is starting behind the plate while Cavan Biggio enters the lineup at first base.

Perez was traded from the Pirates to the Mets on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Perez was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Friday, but he'll quickly find a new organization. He'll join the Mets' active roster as additional depth behind the plate since James McCann (oblique) and Tomas Nido (hand) are banged up. Travis Blankenhorn was designated for assignment to make room for Perez on the major-league roster.

Kolozsvary was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Kolozsvary has appeared in seven major-league games this year, going 1-for-11 with a double, a run, an RBI and five strikeouts. He'll serve as the No. 2 catcher behind Michael Papierski while Tyler Stephenson (shoulder) and Aramis Garcia (elbow/illness) are sidelined.

Stephenson (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Stephenson sustained a broken right clavicle Friday against the Cardinals when he was hit in the shoulder by a foul ball and doesn't have a timetable for his return. He'll be forced to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the IL, and a better recovery timetable will likely come into focus once he resumes baseball activities. Aramis Garcia (elbow/illness) will likely serve as the primary catcher once he's healthy, but Michael Papierski and Mark Kolozsvary will serve as the top two options behind the dish while Stephenson and Garcia are sidelined.
