The Mets will purchase Abreu's contract prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports. Per MLB rules, teams can't bring a player back onto their major league roster until a full 30 days have lapsed since their release, so Abreu will have to wait one more day before rejoining the Mets. Since the 40-year-old Abreu wouldn't seem to have a future with the Mets beyond the final month of the season, don't expect him to see much more than the occasional spot start or pinch-hitting opportunity.
