The New York Mets have selected the contract of outfielder Carlos Gomez from Triple-A Syracuse and recalled right-handed reliever Paul Sewald as well.
To make room for the two players on the active roster, they placed outfielder Michael Conforto on the 7-day concussion injured list, and designated outfielder Keon Broxton for assignment. Gomez takes Broxton’s spot on the 40-man roster.
Michael Conforto suffered a concussion after colliding with Robinson Cano on Thursday against the Nationals.
Meanwhile in Syracuse, Carlos Gomez was hitting .270 with an .829 OPS and six home runs (five in his last nine games) while playing 23 games in center field and one in right. Sewald posted a 2.50 ERA in 18 innings pitched for Syracuse and had a 3.60 ERA in five innings for the Mets earlier this season.
