The Mets acquired Spikerman and Luke Gabrysh from the Phillies on Monday in exchange for Brooks Raley, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reports.

Spikerman has slashed .260/.419/.340 with zero home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 26:30 BB:K over 30 games this season with High-A Jersey Shore. The 23-year-old speedster is capable of playing all three outfield spots.

The Mets acquired Pitre, right-hander Gary Gill Hill and outfielder Aidan Smith from the Rays on Sunday in exchange for right-hander Freddy Peralta, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old second baseman doesn't offer much power, but Pitre has shown outstanding plate discipline (18.2 percent walk rate, 10.4 percent strikeout rate) and has racked up 32 stolen bases in 44 attempts across 384 plate appearances between High-A Bowling Green and Double-A Montgomery this season. He'll likely report to the Mets' Eastern League affiliate in Binghamton.

Perdomo went 4-for-6 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Guardians.

Perdomo tallied his first four-hit effort of the campaign, giving the Diamondbacks a lead they wouldn't relinquish on a solo shot in the seventh inning. The shortstop has now hit safely in five of his past six games, going deep twice with five RBI and six runs scored during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .238/.355/.366 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored and 17 steals across 464 plate appearances.

Betts isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Betts has collected at least one hit in six of his last seven games, but the Dodgers will move him to the bench for the start of Saturday's contest. While he sits, Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Made went 5-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Friday.

Made tallied multiple hits in five of 10 games prior to Friday's contest, and he punctuated that run with the best showing of them all. The 19-year-old is considered the top prospect in all of baseball in many circles, and he nows owns 12 home runs, 74 RBI, 29 steals, a 41:58 BB:K and an .823 OPS in 89 games with Biloxi this season.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles.

The shortstop took Brandon Young deep in the third inning to break a 2-2 tie, but the Phillies' bullpen wasn't up to the task late. Turner has gone yard in back-to-back games, giving him 16 homers on the season, and through 13 contests since the All-Star break he's delivered a .333/.379/.741 slash line with six home runs, one steal, 10 RBI and 13 runs.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Guardians.

The Diamondbacks rallied for all four runs in the eighth inning to erase Cleveland's lead, and it was Perdomo who started it. His bases-loaded single tied the game and was the first of three consecutive run-producing singles. Perdomo's struggled all season and July was no different; he finished the month with a .194 average and .657 OPS over 24 games.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during the Mets' 5-2 loss to the Marlins on Friday.

Lindor made the score look more respectable with a solo home run in the seventh to reduce the Mets' deficit to three runs. It hasn't been a great year at the plate for Lindor, but he appears to be finding his form in the second half of the regular season. He'll end the month of July with an .860 OPS with six home runs and 17 RBI over 107 plate appearances.

Abrams went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and three walks in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

Abrams reached base in his first four plate appearances, and his performance was highlighted by a solo shot in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old entered the night on a 1-for-14 skid over his previous four games, but he'll finish a stellar July with a 1.150 OPS and 10 long balls over 23 games. For the season, he's slashing .290/.367/.563 with 28 homers, 83 RBI, 69 runs scored and 19 steals across 458 plate appearances.

Adames went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Adames singled in the second inning before coming around to score. He also reached base on a fielder's choice in the seventh and stole second, logging his fourth stolen base of the season. The veteran shortstop has recorded a hit in six straight games and is now batting .214 with 16 runs scored, 13 RBI, four home runs and three stolen bases across 95 plate appearances in July. Overall, he's slashing .227/.281/.425 with 56 runs scored, 45 RBI and 18 long balls in 437 plate appearances this season.
