The Mets have placed first baseman Pete Alonso on the injured list with a right hand sprain and Tommy Hunter on the injured list with lower back pain. The team has called up right-handed pitcher Yennsy Diaz and infielder Brandon Drury to take their places on the active roster. And last but not least, the Mets activated Sam McWilliams from the COVID-related injured list and have designated left-handed pitcher Daniel Zamora for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
Along with Sean Reid-Foley—who has already contributed substantially in 2021—and Josh Winckowski, Diaz was acquired as part of the Steven Matz trade with the Toronto Blue Jays.
