Zack Short — Latest News
Mets Select Zack Short, Recall Myers; Vientos to IL
Short arrives with a .159 AVG and .261 xwOBA across 26 games—well below replacement level—while Myers (6.00 ERA, 0-2) provides minimal rotation depth. Vientos's absence matters less given his .211 AVG and .31 xwOBA across 73 games, but NYM (40-54, -56 run differential) continues shuffling deck chairs rather than addressing rotation depth behind McLean (3.73 ERA) and Brazobán (2.80 ERA).
Mets Outright Zack Short to Syracuse
Short clears waivers with a .159 AVG and .261 xwOBA across 26 games, making room for Lindor's return despite Lindor's own struggles (.216 AVG, .332 xwOBA in 26 games). The move is organizational housekeeping for a 34-48 team already 7 games below .500 in the NL East.
Mets Reinstate Lindor, Designate Short
Lindor returns from IL with a .226 AVG and .34 xwOBA through 24 games, providing stability at shortstop for a 34-44 team struggling at -34 run differential. Short's .159 AVG and .262 xwOBA made him expendable depth.
Mets Designate Vidal Bruján for Assignment
Bruján exits with a .091 AVG and .214 xwOBA across minimal MLB action, clearing space for Zack Short (claimed off waivers yesterday with .286 xwOBA in limited Triple-A work). Neither move meaningfully impacts NYM's -23 run differential or 32-40 record.
Mets Claim Zack Short Off Waivers, Move Polanco to 60-Day IL
Polanco's demotion ends a 14-game stretch where he hit .179 with a .27 xwOBA, representing minimal offensive loss for a Mets team sitting 32-39. Short arrives as a depth infielder out of options but offers no offensive upside (xwOBA .286 in limited 2026 action).
