Mets' Mason Williams: Cast off 40-man roster
The Mets designated Williams for assignment Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Williams was removed from the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster after going 7-for-33 at the plate (.212 average) with a solo home run and a double in his 17 games with the Mets following his May 31 call-up from Triple-A Syracuse. He had served as the Mets' fourth outfielder for much of his three-week run on the roster, but he dropped to fifth in the pecking order when Albert Almora was activated from the injured list Saturday.

Mets' Mason Williams: Sits after back-to-back starts
Williams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Following his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Williams started in center field in the first two games of the series in Arizona, going 1-for-5 with a pair of walks between the contests. The Mets activated Kevin Pillar (nose) from the 10-day injured list Monday, but the team's desire to ease him back into action resulted in him hitting the bench both of the past two days. Pillar will be making his first start since his activation Wednesday, and it's likely that he'll continue to poach reps from Williams in center once his injury is further in the rear-view mirror.

Mets' Mason Williams: Appears set to join Mets
Williams is on his way to join the Mets and is expected to be officially called up soon, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets will need to make moves to make room for Williams on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters. The outfielder, who's spent time with Yankees, Reds and Orioles across parts of six major-league seasons, has slashed .373/.458/.569 across 59 plate appearances for Triple-A Syracuse this season.

Mets' Mason Williams: Called up, will start Monday
The Mets selected Williams' contract from Triple-A Syracuse. He'll start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's series opener in Arizona.
Williams will join the 40-man and active rosters as a replacement in the outfield for Cameron Maybin, who was designated for assignment after going 1-for-28 in his nine games with the Mets. New York is hoping that Williams, a 29-year-old journeyman, will provide better production coming off a hot start to the season at Syracuse. Over his 19 games with the affiliate, Williams slashed .373/.458/.569 with a home run and two stolen bases. He'll likely be competing with Billy McKinney and Jose Peraza for a spot in New York's everyday outfield until the Mets get one of Michael Conforto (hamstring) or Brandon Nimmo (finger) from the injured list.

Orioles' Mason Williams: Joins player pool
Williams was added to the Orioles' 60-man player pool Wednesday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Williams has played parts of five seasons in the majors but has appeared in a total of just 87 games, including 11 with the Orioles last season. He's a career .286 hitter in limited action, but his batting average has been rather empty, as it's part of an overall .286/.325/.382 slash line. He's unlikely to be more than a bench option in Baltimore this season.
