Lobaton was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton didn't beat out David Freitas for the backup catcher job but could get time at some point this season when Freitas or Omar Narvaez gets injured. The 34-year-old owns a career .215/.293/.319 line in 413 big-league games.

Lobaton signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal includes an invitation to spring training, where Lobaton will compete with Omar Narvaez and David Frietas for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The veteran backstop appeared in just 22 games for the Mets in 2018, hitting .143/.246/.224. Even if Lobaton breaks camp with the Mariners, he doesn't figure to provide any fantasy value given his career .215/.293/.319 triple-slash.

Lobaton's contract was selected by the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton will be the Mets' third catcher down the stretch, with Travis d'Arnaud (elbow) out for the season and Devin Mesoraco's (nek) status uncertain. The 33-year-old hit .152/.264/.239 in 19 games for the Mets earlier this season and is unlikely to play a significant role even if he earns unexpected at-bats.

Lobaton cleared waivers Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton will now report to Triple-A Las Vegas where he'll serve as organizational outfield depth for the Mets. The 33-year-old compiled an unremarkable .152/.264/.239 line across 19 games with the big club this season.

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.

Lobaton cleared waivers Monday and will head to Triple-A Las Vegas, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton was designated for assignment by the Mets on Saturday, but he passed through waivers and accepted his next assignment at Triple-A. He'll look to turn his season around after a rough beginning to his 2018 campaign with the big-league squad, batting .152 with three RBI in 18 games.

Lobaton was designated for assignment by the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton had a .152/.250/.239 slash line in 52 plate appearances this season and unsurprisingly began to lose playing time following the acquisition of Devin Mesoraco. The Mets recalled Tomas Nido to serve as their second catcher as the veteran Lobaton will hope to latch on elsewhere or head to the minors.

Lobaton is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton had been splitting time with Tomas Nido behind the dish since Kevin Plawecki (hand) joined Travis d'Arnaud (elbow) on the disabled list in mid-April, but Lobaton's opportunities will likely fall by the wayside following the Mets' acquisition of Devin Mesoraco on Tuesday. Nido has since returned to the minor-league ranks, while Lobaton will hit the bench for a third straight game Sunday with Mesoraco checking in behind the plate. Don't expect Lobaton to receive more than a start or two per week, effectively removing him from the radar in NL-only formats.

Lobaton is not starting Tuesday against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tomas Nido will get the start behind the plate in his place. Lobaton has been the Mets' primary catcher in the absence of both Kevin Plawecki (hand) and Travis d'Arnaud (elbow), making 13 starts compared to 10 for Nido. Neither has been good with the bat, with Lobaton hitting .163 and Nido hitting .147.

Lobaton is out of the lineup against the Cardinals on Thursday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lobaton will return to the bench for the fourth time in the past six games as Tomas Nido gets another start behind the plate. Over nine appearances with the Mets this season, Lobaton is hitting just .100/.280/.200 with one RBI and eight strikeouts in 20 at-bats.
