Mets To Activate Todd Frazier, Anthony Swarzak

By Jeff Todd | June 5, 2018 at 12:42pm CDT

The Mets have announced that they will activate third baseman Todd Frazier and righty Anthony Swarzak from the disabled list today, as MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo tweets. Corresponding roster moves are not yet known.

Frazier will end up missing just under a month with a hamstring strain. The veteran was off to a solid start to the year before that, slashing .237/.357/.412 with five home runs and a 15.0% walk rate over his first 140 plate appearances with the organization. He inked a two-year, $17MM contract over the winter.

Likewise, Swarzak joined the Mets on a two-year free agent pact; in his case, it came with a $14MM guarantee. But he made only two appearances before going down to an oblique injury.

Both players represent significant pieces of the Mets roster. The news is most welcome given the team’s struggles of late. With a number of players on the DL, the club has carried three catchers and utilized youngster Luis Guillorme quite a lot at second and third.

Given his struggles at the plate, Guillorme could simply be sent down to make way for Frazier. Complicating matters, though, is the fact that Swarzak will require a 40-man spot since he’s coming back from the 60-day DL. Veteran utilityman Jose Reyes has been even worse offensively than Guillorme, and trimming him from the roster would allow the club to maintain greater pitching depth by optioning (rather than designating) a reliever. That said, there are also some reasonable DFA candidates on the current staff and there has been no indication to date that Reyes is at risk.

    Mets are insane if they keep Reyes on the roster one more day. The waiver wire is heavily populated with players of a similar skillset. All glove/no stick players are falling out of the trees – you can get one any time for league minimum if you absolutely need one.

      Jose Reyes is all glove? He was terrible defensively when with the Jays

        I stand corrected – more glove than stick. Reyes’ production will soon be eclipsed by his own Fathead.

    The very talented blue jays couldn’t win with Reyes in their locker room then as soon as he leaves they make it to the Alcs two years in a row. Reyes causes his teammates to be distracted and lose their sense of urgency.

    Amazing how a .237 BA is considered a “solid start”

      It’s even a stretch considering his career BA is .245
