15 Matt Reynolds 3B

Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas and is starting at third base for Thursday's game against the Yankees, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Reynolds was summoned back to the big club to take the place of Jose Reyes, who was sent to the DL with a left oblique strain, and the team will waste no time inserting him into the starting lineup. The 26-year-old saw just 49 at-bats during his earlier stints with the Mets this season -- producing a .204/.264/.306 slash line with one homer -- but he should be in line for more consistent opportunities this time around with Reyes and Wilmer Flores (ribs) both dealing with injuries.

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.

The 26-year-old was barely playing in the big leagues, and in his few instances of playing time, he only managed to produce a .204 batting average in New York. With top prospect Amed Rosario joining the big-league team, there's simply no room for Reynolds in the majors right now, so he'll likely act as organizational depth until rosters expand in September.

Reynolds was called up Wednesday prior to New York's game against the Marlins, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Reynolds has been up-and-down a few times already this season, with the most recent transaction coming a week ago when the 26-year-old was optioned back to Triple-A Las Vegas. During his five-game stint with Las Vegas this past week, Reynolds went 7-for-20 with three home runs and five RBI from the plate. The infielder will supply more depth for the Mets, with Robert Gsellman hitting the disabled list due to a left hamstring strain.

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old infielder had been recalled on June 16 but only logged four plate appearances in that span. With Zack Wheeler (biceps) landing on the disabled list, the Mets opted to add more bullpen depth rather than keep another bench bat around, so Reynolds will head back to the minors to make room on the active roster for reliever Erik Goeddel. Reynolds will likely continue to shuttle between the two levels as needed for the reminder of the season.

Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

The Mets placed both Matt Harvey and Juan Lagares on the DL on Friday, freeing up a pair of spots on the 25-man roster. Those will be filled by Reynolds and Brandon Nimmo, who will also come up from Las Vegas. Reynolds struggled with the Mets earlier this season, going just 4-for-22 at the plate with one home run and one RBI.
