Mets activate James Loney, demote Eric Campbell
Loney was acquired from the Padres over the weekend
The Mets have activated first baseman James Loney and demoted infielder Eric Campbell to Triple-A Las Vegas, the team announced.
Loney is in Tuesday’s lineup at first base and is hitting sixth.
To make room on the 40-man roster for Loney, RHP Jeff Walters was designated for assignment.
Campbell, 29, was hitting .159/.270/.222 with one home run and five RBIs in 30 games (74 at-bats) with the Mets this season.
He became a de facto starting player at first base when Lucas Duda was placed on the disabled list and had recently been the fill-in at third base for David Wright.
