The Mets announced that outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. The 40-man roster had a vacancy but is now full with this move. Infielder/outfielder Eric Wagaman has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to open an active roster spot. Will Sammon of The Athletic reported on Robert’s activation prior to the official announcement. The Mets also announced that infielder Zack Short, who was designated for assignment last week, has been outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse.
Robert was acquired in an offseason trade that hasn’t worked out. The Mets sent infielder/outfielder Luisangel Acuña and minor league pitcher Truman Pauley to the White Sox to get Robert. The Mets were surely hoping for Robert to stay healthy while he produced at a strong level but that has not happened. He hit .224/.327/.329 in 98 plate appearances before lumbar spine disc herniation put him on the IL at the end of April.
Now that he is returning, the Mets will have different hopes than they did a few months ago. At this point, they are just hoping to salvage some value in a trade before the August 3 deadline. The club is 42-58 and ten games out of a playoff spot. They have reportedly already started fielding offers for a sell-off. Robert’s contract has a $20MM club option for 2027, with a $2MM buyout, but that doesn’t look attractive since Robert has been injured and/or performing poorly for almost three whole years now.
More to come.
