Ronny Mauricio - Promotion imminentThe Mets will call Mauricio up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

ImpactThe 22-year-old infielder is having the best statistical season of his career in Triple-A this year, slashing .295/.349/.511 with 23 homers, 71 RBI and 24 stolen bases. With Francisco Lindor locked in as New York's everyday shortstop, Mauricio will likely take over as the Mets' primary third baseman -- replacing the struggling Mark Vientos -- while making an occasional start at second base or in left field.

Carlos Carrasco - Could pitch in relief WednesdayMets manager Buck Showalter said that Carrasco will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

ImpactShowalter's comments come one day after Carrasco was placed on waivers, but he'll remain active and available for the Mets until another team claims him. Given that Carrasco is owed the money remaining on his $14 million salary for 2023 and has pitched to a 6.80 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 90 innings this season, he may not attract much interest, even for pitching-needy clubs in playoff contention. Showalter hasn't clarified whether Carrasco's move to the bullpen is a permanent one, so the veteran right-hander could conceivably make a start this weekend versus Seattle if he doesn't get claimed and if he isn't needed in relief Wednesday.

Robbie Grossman - Heads to bench WednesdayGrossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

ImpactGrossman will head to the bench after he started each of the last four games while going 3-for-11 with a double, four walks, two runs and two RBI over that stretch. With Mitch Garver having seemingly taken over as the Rangers' top designated hitter, Grossman is primarily battling the likes of Travis Jankowski and J.P. Martinez for playing time in left field.

Sam Coonrod - Heads back to Triple-AThe Mets optioned Coonrod to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

ImpactCoonrod will head to the minors to make room on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Denyi Reyes, who was called up from Syracuse ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Rangers. Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 14, Coonrod has posted a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 5.1 innings in seven appearances out of the bullpen.

Denyi Reyes - Called up ahead of startReyes was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Rangers at Citi Field.

ImpactReyes will pick up his third start of the season with the Mets. He's pitched to a 4.15 ERA and 1.12 WHIP while covering at least five rames in each of his last five starts for Syracuse, but Reyes owns much less impressive ratios (7.50 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, 8.6 K-BB%) over 12 innings in the majors this season. Unless another team puts in a claim for right-hander Carlos Carrasco -- who was placed on waivers Tuesday -- Reyes may not stick around with the Mets beyond Wednesday's start.
