The One True Ace staves off doom for one more day Mets Game Notes

OF Jake Marisnick has been placed on the 10-Day IL with right hamstring tightness.

OF Guillermo Heredia has been recalled from the team’s Alternate Training Site.

So, is Carlos Beltran no longer considered one of the all-time Mets?

Heredia, who will wear uniform number 15, appeared in eight games for the Pirates this season, going 3-16 (.188) with two runs scored and two RBI… He has appeared in 390 major league games over five seasons with Seattle (2016-2018), Tampa Bay (2019) and Pittsburgh (2020), tallying 46 doubles and 17 home runs.

Help us JDG, the One True Ace.
