DJ Stewart - Optioned to Triple-A The Mets optioned Stewart to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Impact Stewart went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts while appearing in two games during his latest stint in the majors, and he'll now be sent back to the minors in favor of Luisangel Acuna. Stewart may still return to Queens before the end of the season, though he's unlikely to serve as more than bench depth.

Luisangel Acuña - Officially promoted The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Impact With a .654 OPS at Triple-A, Acuna isn't likely to make an immediate impact at the plate as he reaches the majors for the first time in his career, but he's proven to be as much of a threat on the basepaths as his older brother, Ronald. The 22-year-old will take the place of DJ Stewart on the active roster and give the Mets some security in their middle infield while Francisco Lindor deals with a back injury.

Brandon Nimmo - Smacks three-run homer Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Friday's 11-3 victory over Philadelphia.
Impact Nimmo broke the game open in the Mets' big fifth inning Friday, launching a three-run shot off Aaron Nola to extend New York's lead to 6-0. It's the first home run for Nimmo in nearly a month -- he'd gone 15-for-72 (.208) with a .543 OPS in his previous 20 contests. The 31-year-old outfielder is now slashing .226/.337/.396 through 603 plate appearances this year with 19 homers, a career-best 78 RBI, 79 runs scored and 13 steals.

Impact Bader laced a two-out double off Max Lazar in the sixth inning before putting the game to bed with a three-run homer off Tyler Gilbert in the eighth, his 12th long ball of the year. Bader had gone just 3-for-24 with no extra-base hits in 12 games prior to Friday while continuing to lose at-bats to Jesse Winker, Starling Marte and Tyrone Taylor. Overall, the 30-year-old Bader is slashing .246/.290/.393 with 50 RBI (matching a career high), 54 runs scored and 16 stolen bases across 404 plate appearances this season.
