Mets optioned Max Kranick to Triple-A Syracuse.
This feels like a bit of gamesmanship. Kranick threw 1 2/3 innings on Tuesday night, and the Mets needed to make room on the active roster for Justin Hagenman, who is going to be a bulk reliever today against the Twins. However, the Mets can bring Kranick back up tomorrow by putting Jose Siri (fractured fibula) on the injured list, which means he wouldn’t need to spend the full 15 days in the minor leagues.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
Corbin Carroll hit a pair of solo homers to help the Diamondbacks to a 2-1 win over the Giants on Monday.
