The Mets have placed Seth Lugo on the paternity list and have recalled Dominic Smith from Triple-A to take his place ahead of this afternoon’s game against the Marlins.
Smith has not played for the Mets since May 29. He has had a rough season, slashing .186/.287/.256 with a 66 wRC+ and a -0.1 fWAR in 86 at-bats before his demotion to Triple-A. He enters this game with 3 hits in his last 20 at-bats at the big league level. He has not hit a homer yet and has only five extra-base hits.
