Cuts ties with Mets Inciarte elected free agency Monday after the Mets outrighted him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Impact Since Inciarte has more than six years of MLB service time, he was able to refuse the assignment to Syracuse after clearing waivers over the weekend. The 31-year-old will look to catch on with another organization as outfield depth.

Clears waivers The Mets outrighted Inciarte to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact After clearing waivers upon being designated for assignment Thursday, Inciarte looks as though he'll stick around in the Mets organization for the time being. During his two-and-a-half-week stint in the big leagues, Inciarte appeared in 11 games and went 1-for-8 with a run scored.

Designated for assignment Inciarte was designated for assignment by the Mets on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Inciarte joined the major-league roster in late June but drew just one start during his time with the Mets. The 31-year-old went just 1-for-8 with a run over 11 games in the majors but will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Jeff McNeil (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Thursday.

Making return to majors The Mets selected Inciarte's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact To create room for Inciarte on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, the Mets designated left-hander Locke St. John for assignment and optioned outfielder Nick Plummer to Triple-A. Inciarte will effectively replace Plummer as the Mets' fourth outfielder, but he shouldn't be expected to receive much playing time while all of Mark Canha, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte are healthy and available.

Yankees sign former Braves center fielder Ender Inciarte to minor league deal The Yankees have bought themselves some Gold Glove insurance for center field.

Lands minor-league deal Inciarte signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Thursday.

Impact Inciarte was released by Atlanta on July 29 after he hit .215 across 52 big-league games to begin the season, and he'll now report to Triple-A Louisville. It isn't encouraging that the 29-year-old was unable to maintain a spot on Atlanta's active roster that had already lost Ronald Acuna (knee) and Marcell Ozuna (not injury related), but he's a strong candidate to join the Reds' major-league roster if injuries occur in their outfield.

Let go by Atlanta Inciarte was released by Atlanta on Thursday.

Impact Inciarte was designated for assignment Saturday, and he'll now become a free agent after he went unclaimed on waivers. The 30-year-old slashed .215/.276/.316 with two homers, 11 runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base in 52 games this season.

David O'Brien: Ender Inciarte was designated for assignment... - The Athletic Ender Inciarte was designated for assignment today by the Braves after being reinstated from the injured list.

JULY 24, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Designated for assignment Inciarte was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday and designated for assignment.

Impact Inciarte is in the final year of a five-year, $30.5 million contract, but Atlanta will have to pay him the remainder of this year's $8 million salary whether or not he's part of the roster. The team evidently decided they'd rather pay him to not play than keep him around. It's hard to argue with that decision considering that his .592 OPS in limited action this season isn't much better than his .512 mark from last year, though it's notable that the 30-year-old isn't deemed worthy of a roster spot even on a squad that's already lost fellow outfielders Ronald Acuna (knee) and Marcell Ozuna (not injury related). That seemingly doesn't bode well for Inciarte's ability to find a spot on an active roster elsewhere.

On COVID-19 IL Atlanta confirmed that Inciarte was placed on the injured list Monday due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Impact Inciarte has been testing negative for the virus, so his deactivation may have been the result of him being a close contact of an infected person or persons. Assuming Inciarte remains negative in his subsequent testing, he could rejoin Atlanta before the end of the week.

Moves to IL Atlanta placed Inciarte on the injured list Monday.

Impact Atlanta didn't provide an injury designation for Inciarte, so his deactivation could be related to COVID-19 protocols. Regardless, Inciarte's absence shouldn't prove costly, given that Atlanta has Abraham Almonte and Ehire Adrianza to provide depth in the outfield behind regular starters Joc Pederson, Guillermo Heredia and Orlando Arcia. Inciarte hasn't started since June 26 and has only nine plate appearances off the bench since that time.
