Cubs vs. Mets: Series Preview, Odds, and Predictions

The Chicago Cubs are feeling positive after winning two games in a row and securing their first three-game series win in over a month.

The Cubs face the Mets in a three-game series at Wrigley Field, with Shota Imanaga, Jameson Taillon, and Javier Assad expected to start. The Cubs have been aggressive on the bases, leading MLB in stolen bases in June. Key injuries for both teams are noted, and the Cubs hope to maintain their momentum.

Mets designate Tomas Nido for assignment to activate Omar Narvaez.

The New York Mets have designated veteran catcher Tomás Nido for assignment as they activate Omar Narváez from the IL. Nido hit just .125 in 22 games this season and has battled dry eye syndrome. The move was primarily due to the emergence of Francisco Alvarez, leaving the Mets with three catchers for two different spots. The Mets have until Saturday to either trade Nido or place him on waivers.

Mets DFA Tomas Nido, turn to Narvaez and Alvarez at catcher.

The New York Mets have designated catcher Tomas Nido for assignment after seven seasons with the club due to his struggles at the plate this season. The emergence of rookie backstop Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez's reinstatement from the injured list made Nido expendable. The Mets are on the hook for the remainder of the $3.7 million owed to Nido, provided he doesn't reject an outright assignment to the minors.

Mets cut ties with catcher Gary Sánchez.

The New York Mets have designated catcher Gary Sánchez for assignment and reinstated Tomás Nido from the 10-day injured list. Sánchez, who has one RBI and zero home runs through just three games played, was called up on May 18. Nido's improved vision and Francisco Alvarez's terrific all-around play made it easier to end the experiment with Sánchez. Alvarez will continue to catch his share of games, while Nido will also get playing time to test where he is with everything. The Mets now have a week to trade Sánchez or pass him through waivers.

The New York Mets pulled off a rare spectacle in their game against the San Diego Padres, with two baseballs rolling down the third baseline and staying in fair territory, leaving the Padres in disbelief.

"Physics-defying hits and Scherzer-Darvish matchup highlight Padres-Mets rematch"

The New York Mets won 5-0 against the San Diego Padres after a three-run rally in the seventh inning, thanks to two unorthodox infield hits that defied the laws of physics. Luis Guillorme's bunt hit the lip of the infield grass but did not go into foul ground, resulting in an infield hit. Two batters later, Tomás Nido hit a slow roller to nearly the same spot, which landed on the chalk of the foul line itself. The rally continued long enough for Francisco Lindor to break open the game with a two-run double.

Mets' Francisco Alvarez called up to fill catching void.

Mets' manager Buck Showalter announced that Tomas Nido will get the bulk of the playing time behind the plate in Omar Narvaez's absence, with Francisco Alvarez getting some playing time. Showalter said he didn't expect Alvarez to get many starts at DH, preferring instead to use the spot for more experienced hitters. Pete Alonso hit his 150th homer of his career, becoming the second fastest to that milestone in MLB history.
