Ender Inciarte: Cuts ties with Mets
Inciarte elected free agency Monday after the Mets outrighted him to Triple-A Syracuse.
Since Inciarte has more than six years of MLB service time, he was able to refuse the assignment to Syracuse after clearing waivers over the weekend. The 31-year-old will look to catch on with another organization as outfield depth.

Mets' Ender Inciarte: Clears waivers
The Mets outrighted Inciarte to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
After clearing waivers upon being designated for assignment Thursday, Inciarte looks as though he'll stick around in the Mets organization for the time being. During his two-and-a-half-week stint in the big leagues, Inciarte appeared in 11 games and went 1-for-8 with a run scored.

Mets' Ender Inciarte: Designated for assignment
Inciarte was designated for assignment by the Mets on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Inciarte joined the major-league roster in late June but drew just one start during his time with the Mets. The 31-year-old went 1-for-8 with a run over 11 games in the majors and will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Jeff McNeil (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Thursday.

Mets' Ender Inciarte: Making return to majors
The Mets selected Inciarte's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
To create room for Inciarte on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, the Mets designated left-hander Locke St. John for assignment and optioned outfielder Nick Plummer to Triple-A. Inciarte will effectively replace Plummer as the Mets' fourth outfielder, but he shouldn't be expected to receive much playing time while all of Mark Canha, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte are healthy and available.

Mets' Ender Inciarte: Finds work with Mets
Inciarte agreed Monday with the Mets on a minor-league contract, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
After being cut by the Yankees last week, Inciarte will continue his career with New York's other organization. The three-time Gold Glove Award winner is still capable of providing value on the defensive end, but his anemic bat was the primary reason Atlanta chose to release him last July. Inciarte hasn't appeared in the big leagues since and was let go by the Yankees after producing a .252/.336/.408 slash line over 116 plate appearances at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Ender Inciarte: Released by Yankees
Inciarte was released by the Yankees on Wednesday, Matt Kardos of MLB.com reports.
Inciarte missed approximately two weeks in early May due to COVID-19 protocols but was back in action over the last month. The 31-year-old appeared in 34 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the year, and he slashed .252/.336/.408 with four homers, 12 runs, 11 RBI and four stolen bases. He'll now seek out other opportunities as a free agent.

Yankees' Ender Inciarte: Back in action at Triple-A
Inciarte (illness) was reinstated from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list Saturday and returned to the lineup Sunday, going 1-for-3 with a run and a stolen base in the club's 3-1 win over Syracuse.
Inciarte was sidelined for approximately two weeks due to COVID-19-related protocols after presumably testing positive for the virus. The veteran outfielder has logged 53 plate appearances through 15 games with the Triple-A club, slashing .298/.377/.447 with two home runs and three stolen bases.

Yankees' Ender Inciarte: Lands on COVID-19 IL
Inciarte was placed on the COVID-19 injured list for an unspecified reason Saturday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
It's not yet clear whether Inciarte has tested positive for COVID-19 or when he'll be able to rejoin the team. After missing out on an Opening Day roster spot, the 31-year-old is slashing .295/.380/.455 with two homers, a double, nine RBI, four runs and two stolen bases at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year.

Yankees' Ender Inciarte: Loses out on roster bid
The Yankees reassigned Inciarte to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
With Inciarte out of the picture, Tim Locastro looks to be on track to break camp with the Yankees as their fourth outfielder. Despite possessing a longer track record than Locastro at the big-league level, Inciarte's declining production at the plate in recent years might not be enough to make up for the above-average defense and baserunning he typically brings to the table. After submitting a .244 wOBA in 220 plate appearances over his final two seasons in Atlanta, Inciarte didn't show much improvement this spring, going 4-for-25 at the dish during Grapefruit League play.

Yankees' Ender Inciarte: Signs minor-league contract
Inciarte signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Thursday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Inciarte appeared in 52 major-league games with Atlanta last year and slashed .215/.276/.316 with two homers, 11 runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base. However, the 31-year-old was released in late July before landing a minor-league contract with the Reds. Inciarte will likely compete for a major-league roster spot with the Yankees during spring training in 2022.

Reds' Ender Inciarte: Lands minor-league deal
Inciarte signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Thursday.
Inciarte was released by Atlanta on July 29 after he hit .215 across 52 big-league games to begin the season, and he'll now report to Triple-A Louisville. It isn't encouraging that the 29-year-old was unable to maintain a spot on Atlanta's active roster that had already lost Ronald Acuna (knee) and Marcell Ozuna (not injury related), but he's a strong candidate to join the Reds' major-league roster if injuries occur in their outfield.

Ender Inciarte: Let go by Atlanta
Inciarte was released by Atlanta on Thursday.
Inciarte was designated for assignment Saturday, and he'll now become a free agent after he went unclaimed on waivers. The 30-year-old slashed .215/.276/.316 with two homers, 11 runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base in 52 games this season.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: Designated for assignment
Inciarte was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday and designated for assignment.
Inciarte is in the final year of a five-year, $30.5 million contract, but Atlanta will have to pay him the remainder of this year's $8 million salary whether or not he's part of the roster. The team evidently decided they'd rather pay him to not play than keep him around. It's hard to argue with that decision considering that his .592 OPS in limited action this season isn't much better than his .512 mark from last year, though it's notable that the 30-year-old isn't deemed worthy of a roster spot even on a squad that's already lost fellow outfielders Ronald Acuna (knee) and Marcell Ozuna (not injury related). That seemingly doesn't bode well for Inciarte's ability to find a spot on an active roster elsewhere.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: On COVID-19 IL
Atlanta confirmed that Inciarte was placed on the injured list Monday due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Inciarte has been testing negative for the virus, so his deactivation may have been the result of him being a close contact of an infected person or persons. Assuming Inciarte remains negative in his subsequent testing, he could rejoin Atlanta before the end of the week.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: Moves to IL
Atlanta placed Inciarte on the injured list Monday.
Atlanta didn't provide an injury designation for Inciarte, so his deactivation could be related to COVID-19 protocols. Regardless, Inciarte's absence shouldn't prove costly, given that Atlanta has Abraham Almonte and Ehire Adrianza to provide depth in the outfield behind regular starters Joc Pederson, Guillermo Heredia and Orlando Arcia. Inciarte hasn't started since June 26 and has only nine plate appearances off the bench since that time.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: Stuck behind Heredia on depth chart
Inciarte remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Even though top center fielder Guillermo Heredia has gone 2-for-29 over his past eight games, Atlanta doesn't appear to be considering dropping him from the lineup in favor of Inciarte. The 30-year-old still brings value with his glove, but Inciarte's deplorable .592 OPS and career-worst 24.7 percent strikeout rate on the season give Atlanta little reason to open up playing time for him. He hasn't started a game since June 26.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: Pops second homer
Inciarte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Mets.
The blast was his second homer of the year, with the first coming June 13. Inciarte continues to see sporadic playing time despite Atlanta's injuries in the outfield, and his .207/.250/.414 slash line through 32 plate appearances in June isn't making a compelling case for a larger role.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: Still not starting
Inciarte isn't starting Wednesday's game against Boston.
Inciarte has split time with Guillermo Heredia in center field recently, and he'll remain out of the lineup for a third straight game. Heredia will bat eighth in Wednesday's series finale.

Braves' Ender Inciarte: Out of lineup again Tuesday
Inciarte is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Inciarte and Guillermo Heredia have been splitting time in center field in recent days, with the former starting the previous three games before Sunday and the latter set to start his second straight Tuesday. It appears Inciarte is the preferred option against right-handers, with Heredia getting the bulk of opportunities against southpaws, though it hasn't been a strict platoon to this point.
