The Mets announced that RHP Dillon Gee was activated from the Bereavement List and Infielder Ruben Tejada was activated from the Paternity Leave List.
Catcher Anthony Recker and infielder Danny Muno were optioned to Las Vegas (AAA) to make room for them.
Gee will start this afternoon’s game against the Braves while Tejada is expected to play third base.
Terry Collins says right now the plan is to play Ruben Tejada at third until Daniel Murphy returns from the DL.
Collins also said there will be playing time for Kevin Plawecki because Travis d’Arnaud will be eased back. Once d’Arnaud is back in a groove, he will reevaluate.
Anthony Recker was batting .143 in 19 games for the Mets this season with seven hits including two home runs in 49 at-bats.
Danny Muno batted .083 (2-for-24) in 13 games. On Saturday, he tied a Mets record with three errors in one game while playing third base.
The Mets will have to make another move once Kirk Nieuwenhuis arrives to New York. The Mets claimed him off waivers on Saturday.
