Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports that Jed Lowrie (left side injuries, right calf) will be continuing his rehab assignment on Thursday, but with the Syracuse Mets’ season-ending on Tuesday, the infielder will join the Brooklyn Cyclones.
Lowrie, 35, has appeared in six rehab games with Triple-A Syracuse, going 7-for-20 (.350) with one home run, one double, and two RBI. Prior to Wednesday, Lowrie had started three consecutive games.
Before he was transferred to Syracuse, Lowrie played in four games with the Single-A St. Lucie in which he went 4-for-13 (.307) with one double and one RBI.
The Cyclones season could end as early as after Thursday night and as the only Mets’ minor league affiliate still playing games, that means very limited chances to get Lowrie rehab appearances before his hopeful return to the Mets.
In the offseason, the Mets signed Lowrie to a two-year, $20 million contract.
