The Mets recalled Lobaton from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton was designated for assignment by the Mets in mid-May shortly after the acquisition of Devin Mesoraco, but will return to the team after hitting 13-for-35 with two home runs during his minor-league stint. The 33-year-old should serve as the Mets' third catcher and is unlikely to see consistent at-bats, with Kevin Plawecki and Mesoraco currently healthy.
