The Mets optioned Mazeika to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Mazeika had been serving as a No. 3 catcher and a reserve first baseman since his May 5 call-up, picking up only 16 plate appearances over the last three-plus weeks. He was deemed expendable with the Mets bringing back Pete Alonso (hand) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
