Battered Mets Fall to the Nationals

WASHINGTON — The revolving door that is the Mets’ battered roster spun a few more times on Saturday. Infielder Jose Reyes traded places on the disabled list with outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Reyes returned from a short stint to recover from an oblique strain, while Cespedes went on the D.L. with his second hamstring strain of the season.

Because both Cespedes and Michael Conforto have been injured, the Mets needed another outfielder. So they again dug into their farm system and called up Travis Taijeron to make his major league debut, playing in right field on Saturday.
