Luis Guillorme and Trevor May are back with the New York Mets.

As the Mets begin their series with the Chicago Cubs, they add two key contributors and make two corresponding roster moves. With the return of Guillorme and May, the Mets designated infielder Deven Marrero for assignment and sent reliever Bryce Montes de Oca to the 15-day injured list with a hamstring injury.

Guillorme is back with the Mets after missing a month with a groin injury suffered on August 14. A defensive whiz, Guillorme will quickly rejoin the Mets infield rotation and return to his role as a tough out in the bottom of the lineup.

May returns from a non-injury designation stint on the injured list which traditionally means he tested positive for Covid-19. May was finding his groove after missing multiple months with injury this season.

The Mets continue to get stronger down the stretch run. Next up to return from the injured list will be pitchers Drew Smith and Tylor Megill who are both in the late stages of their rehab process.

Adonis Medina and Deven Marrero will be called up in September to fill the Mets’ extra roster spots, Andy Martino of SNY reported Wednesday night.

With Brett Baty on the injured list, the Mets decided to go with the utility infielder Marrero. In four at-bats this year for the Mets, Marrero has two strikeouts and has not reached base. With Luis Guillorme on the IL as of now, Marrero will provide the Mets with a backup shortstop.

The Mets will also opt to bring up Medina to provide Buck Showalter with depth in the bullpen. Medina has given the Mets length when in the majors, recording 23 1/3 innings in 13 games. The young right-hander has also had the flair for the dramatic, recording a save earlier in the year on June 5 at Dodger Stadium.

To many Mets fans’ dismay, Mark Vientos remains in Triple-A for now. The Mets’ No. 7 overall prospect has raked so far in Syracuse, batting to a slash line of .283/.361/.531 with 23 home runs.

Martino added that Terrance Gore will also remain on the roster. Gore was selected from Syracuse earlier Wednesday after Baty’s injury was announced. The outfielder brings speed to the team and will likely be used in almost exclusively a pinch-running role.

The New York Mets have today announced a number of roster moves. Yolmer Sánchez, who was claimed off waivers from the Boston Red Sox earlier this week, has been activated and will wear #43.

Sànchez will be with the Mets in Philadelphia as they open up a four-game series against the Phillies tonight, and he will provide some insurance in the infield with Eduardo Escobar and Luis Guillorme both out injured. Sánchez appeared in 14 games for the Red Sox this season, making 12 starts at second base. He went 4-for-37 at the plate this season and is a career .243/.299/.350 hitter.

In order to make room for Sánchez on the roster, infielder Deven Marrero has been designated for assignment. Marrero featured in three games for the Mets this season with four plate appearances.

Outfielder Nick Plummer has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse. The fact that Plummer has cleared waivers is good news for the Mets given that he showed promise in his 14 games in the big leagues this season. In 31 plate appearances, Plummer hit .138/.194/.379/.573 with two home runs, one double and six RBI.

Finally, per Tim Healey of Newsday, the Mets taxi squad in Philly will consist of: LHP David Peterson, who is slated to start on Saturday, RHP Jose Butto, LHP Nate Fisher and LHP Rob Zastryzny.
