Mets activate Conforto, place Nido on IL, make several other roster moves

Before their series finale with the Braves last night, the Mets made a handful of roster moves. The team activated Michael Conforto from the injured list, called up pitchers Tylor Megill and Corey Oswalt from Syracuse, placed Tomás Nido on the injured list with a right wrist contusion, optioned pitchers Yennsy Díaz and Sean Reid-Foley to Syracuse, and transferred pitchers Joey Lucchesi and Robert Gsellman to the 60-day injured list.

Conforto, whose return was the most pressing of these moves, doubled in his first plate appearance back from a hamstring injury. The team planned to activate him on Tuesday, but a positive COVID-19 test from a Syracuse Mets employee postponed his activation, and he joined the team after providing a negative test.
