The Mets are sending down infielder Luis Guillorme and are calling up right-handed reliever Gerson Bautista to take his roster spot.
Guillorme, 23, hit .172/.250/.207 with zero home runs and four RBI since making his Major League debut on May 11.
The infielder, who is known for his soft hands defensively, committed two errors last night in the Mets 6-4 loss to the Pirates.
Overall in his time with the big club this year, he played 41.0 innings at second base and 85.1 innings at third where he logged -1 defensive runs saved and -2 defensive runs saved, respectively.
Bautista, 22, has had two stints with the Mets this season, combining for an 0-1 record with a 12.46 ERA.
In the minors between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas this year, Bautista has a 5.61 ERA in 18 games (25.2 IP).
The Mets will now have nine relievers available for tonight’s game.
