The Mets assigned Calixte to Triple-A Syracuse after purchasing his contract from the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old Calixte will help restore some depth at the Triple-A level in the wake of the affiliate sending multiple players to the big leagues in recent days while the Mets have contended with numerous injuries in the infield and outfield. Calixte previously saw limited action with the big leagues in 2015 and 2017, playing in two games for the Royals and in 29 games for the Giants in those respective seasons.

Calixte remains in the Dominican Republic as he waits on his visa and won't make it for Saturday's first team workout, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unknown as to how long it will take for Calixte's visa to process, but he'll remain in the Dominican Republic for the time being. This may have an impact on his chances of making the big-league roster, although his chances of making the team were likely slim to begin with.

The Mariners signed Calixte to a minor-league contract, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making 29 appearances for the Giants in 2017, Calixte played exclusively at the Triple-A level last season, slashing .270/.323/.405 across 545 plate appearances with Sacramento. Though he'll likely get an opportunity to audition for the Mariners at big-league spring training, it's expected that Calixte will stick around in the Pacific Coast League in 2019 at Triple-A Tacoma.

Calixte was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calixte went 7-for-25 (.280) with a home run over 17 games this spring. Although he's in line to report to Triple-A Sacramento when the season begins, Calixte could be called up to the big club if the Giants' outfield gets hit by injuries. However, after hitting .143/.185/.163 over 29 games in the Show last season, San Francisco may opt to look elsewhere if the need for a reserve outfielder arises.

Calixte was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calixte will stick in the Giants' organization after passing through waivers untouched. The 25-year-old failed to impress during his brief time with the big club last season, hitting just .143/.185/.163 in 29 games. He'll report to Sacramento, where he hit .243/.283/.421 in 97 games last year.

Calixte was designated for assignment Monday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calixte didn't impress during limited action with the Giants last season. Over 29 games he posted a dismal .143 batting average and .348 OPS. While his performance was better at Triple-A Sacramento, it didn't stand out. Over 97 games with Sacramento he slashed .243/.283/.421.

The Giants are calling up Calixte from Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The utility man has compiled a .246/.285/.427 line with 14 home runs and 19 stolen bases at Sacramento this year but has much more to prove in the majors to make himself worthy of fantasy consideration. Calixte will back up several positions but could earn a few starts per week for the floundering Giants.

Calixte was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento following Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calixte has bounced back and forth between the Giants and Sacramento over the past few months, recently going 1-for-5 with one RBI during a brief stay in San Francisco over the past 10 days. The 25-year-old is a good candidate for a September call up once the roster expand, but would likely continue to serve as depth off the bench for the rest of this season.

Calixte was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calixte was summoned back to the big club to take the place of Joe Panik, who was placed on the concussion DL in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old posted a .172/.242/.207 slash line in 10 games with the Giants earlier in the season, so likely won't be with the big club longer than necessary.

Calixte was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento prior to the Giants' game Monday against the Marlins, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calixte served as the 26th man in the Giants' doubleheader Sunday against the Nationals, but didn't see any usage in either contest of the twin bill. He'll likely serve in an everyday role with Sacramento before potentially rejoining the Giants as a September callup.
