Syracuse Mets: Rubén Tejada in position to return to the Majors

Rubén Tejada found his way back to the New York Mets and has flourished during his time with the Syracuse Mets.

In 299 PA for Syracuse, Tejada has slashed .332/.411/.477 with a 132 wRC+. Last week Tejada and Dilson Herrera’s performance this season had put them on the Mets’ radar for a Major League call-up.

According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Mets have “made arrangements,” for Tejada to join them in Atlanta for game two of their current three-game set against the Braves.

Tejada’s roster spot will be made available from a hamstring injury to Jeff McNeil.
