"Gary Cohen questions Diamondbacks' decision-making as Mets secure victory"

SportsNet New York Mets' announcer Gary Cohen criticized the Arizona Diamondbacks and manager Torey Lovullo for allowing Tim Locastro, the potential winning run, to steal second base in the bottom of the ninth inning. Despite Cohen's criticism, the Diamondbacks held on to win the game 4-3. The decision to play behind Locastro instead of holding him on first base was seen as unusual, and Cohen called it a boneheaded managerial decision.

Brett Baty's Hot Start in Syracuse Earns Mets Call-Up

The New York Mets have recalled third baseman Brett Baty and relief pitcher Edwin Uceta, placed pinch runner Tim Locastro on the injured list with back spasms, and optioned starting pitcher José Butto back to Triple-A Syracuse. Baty tore up Triple-A to start his 2023 season, hitting an incredible .400/.500/.886 with five home runs and 15 runs batted in. The decision to recall Baty was an easy one, and he should give the Mets’ lineup a boost.

Mets replace struggling Darin Ruf with speedy Tim Locastro.

The New York Mets have designated Darin Ruf for assignment and added Tim Locastro to their Opening Day roster. Ruf, who underperformed last season and struggled in spring training, is owed $3.125 million for this season. Locastro, one of MLB's fastest players, will give the Mets a late-inning threat on the bases. The team is betting on the stolen-base element with the implementation of larger bases and new rules that limit pickoff attempts.

Mets designate Darin Ruf.

The New York Mets have designated veteran Darin Ruf for assignment and added speedy outfielder Tim Locastro to their roster for the upcoming season. The team also selected right-hander Tommy Hunter to the Major League roster. Ruf batted just .152/.216/.197 without a home run after coming to the Mets in a trade with the Giants last August. The Mets are set to carry Locastro instead of Ruf as their fifth outfielder, allowing them to start free-agent signing Tommy Pham every time the team plays a left-handed pitcher.

Mets cut ties with struggling Darin Ruf.

The New York Mets have designated Darin Ruf for assignment after a disastrous run with the team, opting for Tim Locastro's speed off the bench instead. The Mets owe Ruf $3.25 million and have until Monday to trade him and try to offset some of that money. Ruf hit just .152 without a homer in 74 plate appearances for the Mets and was a growing target of fan derision. Locastro will make the team and the righty DH at-bats likely will be moved around several players.
