Mets’ Shocking Move: Rising Star Luisangel Acuna Sent to Minors Amid Mysterious Roster Shake-Up
New York also signed left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady to a one-year deal and selected the contract of outfielder Travis Jankowski from Triple-A Syracuse. Both were available for the opener of a four-game series against Atlanta.
Acuña, the younger brother of Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., was optioned to Syracuse along with right-handed reliever Tyler Zuber following a 7-1 loss at Philadelphia.
Before that game, the Mets demoted another touted youngster to Syracuse: catcher Francisco Alvarez.
New York has lost nine of 10, falling 1.5 games behind the first-place Phillies in the NL East.
