Mets Place J.D. Martinez on Paternity List, Recall DJ Stewart from Triple-A

Mets Make Roster Moves

The New York Mets have placed outfielder J.D. Martinez on the paternity list and recalled infielder DJ Stewart from Triple-A Syracuse.

Martinez is expected to miss the next few games as he welcomes the birth of his child.

Stewart, 28, was batting .296 with 10 home runs and 33 RBIs in 55 games with Syracuse this season.

Roster Implications

The Mets are currently in a tight race for the NL East division title, and Martinez's absence will be a blow to their lineup.

Stewart is a versatile player who can play both infield and outfield, and he should be able to provide some depth to the Mets' bench.

Outlook

The Mets are hoping that Martinez will be able to return to the lineup soon, but they will need to find a way to replace his production in the meantime.

Stewart is a solid hitter who has some pop in his bat, and he could be a valuable contributor to the Mets down the stretch.
