The Mets have placed catcher Tomás Nido on the injured list with dry eye syndrome and called up fellow catcher Michael Pérez from Triple-A Syracuse to take his palce on the roster. To make room on their 40-man roster, the team transferred right-handed pitcher Elieser Hernández to the 60-day injured list.
In 55 plate appearances this year, Nido has hit just .118/.148/.118 with no home runs—and no extra-base hits, for that matter—with a -24 wRC+. While defense has always been his best trait as a major league player, he’s sitting on a -0.6 fWAR in that limited playing time this season.
