The New York Mets transferred infielder Jed Lowrie to the 45-day injured list on Sunday when activating right-hander Jared Hughes from the injured list.
Lowrie had had just eight hitless plate appearances for the Mets because of his knee injury since signing a two-year, $20 million contract with the Mets in 2019.
He was an All-Star with the Oakland Athletics in 2018 when he set career highs with 23 home runs and 99 RBIs.
Hughes, who signed with the Mets in free agency, had been on the injured list after testing positive for the coronavirus during summer camp.
