Mets Promote Top ProspectsThe New York Mets promoted these top prospects to the next level of the minor leagues.
Jeimer Candelario - Held out Monday amid trade talksCandelario is not in Monday's lineup against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactCandelario almost never rests when healthy, but in this case he is being held out while the Nationals discuss trade packages with other teams ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. He is hitting .250 with a .349 OBP, nine home runs and five steals in 48 games since June 1. If Candelario gets traded, it would be to a better lineup, but he may see a home park downgrade and he could hit lower in the lineup and play less often for a contending team.

Hobie Harris - Making return to majorsThe Nationals recalled Harris from Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactHarris could be in line for a temporary stay with the big club, as he was called up as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for Trevor Williams (personal), who was placed on the bereavement list. Williams is expected to return from bereavement leave before his next turn in the rotation comes up this weekend in Cincinnati, so expect the Nationals to demote a reliever to Triple-A to make room for him at that time. Harris won a spot in Washington's Opening Day bullpen but was sent to Triple-A on May 20 after recording a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP across 18.1 innings.

Trevor Williams - Moves to bereavement listThe Nationals placed Williams (personal) on the bereavement list Monday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactWashington recalled reliever Hobie Harris from Triple-A Rochester to replace Williams on the 26-man active roster. Per MLB rules, players must spend at least three days on the bereavement list but no more than seven, so Williams could be activated by the time his next turn in the rotation comes up this weekend in Cincinnati.
