"Jose Siri was activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday before New York's middle game against the Philadelphia Phillies, just short of five months after breaking his leg. Siri had appeared in 10 games with the Mets before suffering the injury in mid-April, quickly disbanding the platoon that David Stearns had built, which also included Tyrone Taylor. The Mets have never truly recovered from his departure."
"Taylor, Jeff McNeil, and Cedric Mullins have combined to post a .601 OPS while playing center field the fourth-worst mark in all of baseball. Mullins was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline to ease the burden on Taylor, who excels best as a fourth outfielder, and McNeil, who got reps at the position despite being a natural second baseman. The deal has yet to work out, as Mullins is batting .174 with a .556 OPS in 30 games with his new club."

Mullins, acquired at the trade deadline, is batting .174 with a .556 OPS in 30 games for New York. Siri struggled early with the Mets but offers high energy and potential power; he averaged 30 homers per 162 games across his previous two seasons with Tampa Bay. Roster moves included optioning Jared Young, outrighting Justin Garza, and designating Wander Suero for assignment.
