Mazeika went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-4 victory versus the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mazeika was called up from the minors Friday after James McCann hit the injured list with a fractured wrist. The former got his first start Saturday and came up with the game's biggest hit, going deep to right field in the seventh inning to produce the winning run. Tomas Nido figures to be the Mets' primary catcher while McCann is out, but Mazeika should get a chance to play at least a few times per week.

Mazeika was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will join the big-league club for the first time this season with James McCann out about six weeks with a fractured wrist. Mazeika had a .190/.253/.266 slash line in his first taste of the majors last season, and he should operate as the Mets' No. 2 catcher behind Tomas Nido for the foreseeable future.

Mazeika was reassigned to minor-league spring training Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mazeika made his major-league debut in 2021 and appeared in 37 games with the Mets. During that time, he hit .190 with a homer, six runs and six RBI. He'll begin the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Syracuse but will likely be one of the top options to fill in as depth behind the dish if one of the team's major-league catchers get hurt.

The Mets recalled Mazeika from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With No. 2 backstop Tomas Nido landing on the injured list for the third time since the All-Star break with a sprained left thumb, Mazeika will rejoin the big club to serve as the top understudy to James McCann for the final five games of the season. Mazeika has hit .197 with one home run in 36 games at the big-league level in 2021.

Mazeika was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move comes after catcher Tomas Nido (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. In 19 games after getting recalled on Aug. 17, Mazeika struggled to a .157 batting average with only two extra-base hits in 51 at-bats.

Mazeika is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mazeika's run as the Mets' undisputed No. 1 catcher ended Saturday, when James McCann (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Expect McCann to handle the bulk of the catching duties for the rest of the season as the 69-68 Mets aim to chase down Atlanta and Philadelphia for the National League East crown.

Mazeika is out of the lineup Friday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mazeika started the past four games and will receive a maintenance day in Washington. He should continue to operate as the No. 1 option at catcher until James McCann (back) or Tomas Nido (thumb) are healthy, but Chance Sisco will receive the start Friday.

Mazeika will start at catcher and bat eighth Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Mazeika is in the lineup for the fifth time in six games and looks poised to serve as New York's primary catcher while both James McCann (back) and Tomas Nido (thumb) are on the injured list. Through his first 41 big-league plate appearances, Mazeika owns a strong .270 average, but he's supplemented it with few counting stats (one home run, four RBI, three runs and no steals).

Mazeika was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old spent a month and a half in the minors, but he'll rejoin the big-league club as depth behind the plate after Tomas Nido (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Mazeika has hit .273 with a home run and four RBI in 16 major-league games this season.

Mazeika was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old worked as the Mets' backup catcher while Tomas Nido (wrist) was on the injured list, so he'll head back to the minors with Nido activated Friday. Mazeika is 6-for-22 in 16 games this season and should remain in the minors as long as James McCann and Nido remain healthy.
