Altherr signed a contract with the NC Dinos of the Korean Baseball Organization on Friday, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr appeared in 49 major-league games between the Phillies, Giants and Mets in 2019, but he went 5-for-61 with 25 strikeouts in those 49 games. The 28-year-old posted a .856 OPS with 19 home runs in 412 plate appearances with Philadelphia in 2017, so he's a good rebound candidate in the more hitter-friendly KBO.

Altherr cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr was designated for assignment by the Mets over the weekend and will remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The 28-year-old has struggled in 49 major-league games this season, going 5-for-61 with 25 strikeouts.

Altherr was designated for assignment Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr had struggled since joining the Mets on July 27, hitting just .129/.200/.258 across 35 plate appearances. Jeff McNeil (hamstring) was activated from the injured list Saturday and will take Altherr's spot on the active roster.

Altherr had his contract purchased from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr is back with the Mets to replace the injured Dominic Smith (foot), who was placed on the injured list Saturday. The 28-year-old Altherr is slashing just .050/.095/.150 in 29 games (42 plate appearances) this season, so he'll likely be limited to a bench role during his time with the big club.

Altherr was sent outright to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Jacob Resnick of Mets Minors reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr was designated for assignment Wednesday, though given his service time, he can elect free agency should he choose to decline a minor-league assignment.

Altherr was designated for assignment by the Mets on Wednesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr has been cut from three teams this season, previously getting designated for assignment by the Phillies and Giants. His .221/.310/.406 career slash line in parts of six seasons could be enough to earn him another spot at the end of someone's bench, but his .163/.269/.307 line over the last pair of campaigns may have greater relevance at this point. He'll clear a roster spot for Robinson Cano (quadriceps), who returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Altherr hit a solo home run as a pinch hitter in a loss to the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stepping to the plate in the sixth inning with the score tied 6-6, Altherr took Buck Farmer deep for his first homer of the year and only his second hit in 32 plate appearances. Altherr's stay with the Mets is likely to be a brief one -- Michael Conforto (concussion) could be close to a return from the injured list, and the organization just signed Matt Kemp to a minor-league deal.

Altherr was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets' current stable of healthy outfielders consists of journeymen (Carlos Gomez, Rajai Davis), an infielder (J.D. Davis) and Juan Lagares. Altherr had been claimed by the Giants and then designated for assignment in hopes of retaining him, but the Mets swooped in and claimed him to address their current lack of quality depth. The expectation is that Altherr will be active for Friday's game against the Tigers. He has a career .222/.312/.406 slash line in 333 games in the majors. Altherr has been mediocre against righties (91 wRC+) and lefties (93 wRC+).

The Giants designated Altherr for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr joined the Giants a week ago after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies but couldn't crack San Francisco's outfield ranks, logging just one at-bat during his time with the club. The Giants will hope to keep Altherr around as a depth option at Triple-A Sacramento if he goes unclaimed while being exposed to waivers again.

Altherr will be available for the Giants' next game Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altherr joined the organization Saturday after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies, but his status had been in limbo for the past couple days after the Giants delayed adding him to their active roster. With the Giants finally opening up room for him by designating catcher Erik Kratz for assignment Monday, Altherr should step in as the team's fourth outfielder. Altherr could be a platoon partner for the lefty-hitting Steven Duggar and/or push Mac Williamson for the top job in left field.
